SN74ALS760DW

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74ALS760DW is an octal buffer and line driver from the Texas Instruments ALS logic family, housed in a 20-pin SOIC package. It operates on a supply voltage ranging from 4.5 V to 5.5 V with a typical operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The device features open-collector outputs capable of sinking up to 24 mA at low levels. Propagation delays are specified between 5 ns and 16 ns depending on the signal path. It utilizes PNP inputs to reduce DC loading.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Open-collector outputs designed to drive bus lines or buffer memory address registers without requiring 3-state overlap protection circuitry.
• PNP input structure significantly reduces DC loading on preceding drivers compared to standard TTL inputs.
• Provides symmetrical active-low output-enable inputs for efficient control of bidirectional data flow.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix (e.g., DW, N) to confirm the physical package type matches the design requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead finish details via the manufacturer's current packaging addendum. Ensure the selected variant meets the required industrial temperature specifications before finalizing procurement.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when high-density bus driving is required without the complexity of managing 3-state overlap conditions. The open-collector architecture allows for wired-OR connections and interfacing with different voltage domains. Verify that the load capacitance does not exceed the recommended 50 pF limit to maintain specified switching speeds.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This device belongs to the Advanced Low-power Schottky (ALS) logic family, offering improved speed and power consumption over standard LS logic. It serves as an open-collector alternative to the standard 3-state buffers like the SN74ALS244, simplifying system design by removing external protection components.
