SN74ALS996NT3

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74ALS996NT3 is an octal D-type edge-triggered read-back latch manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the ALS logic series and features a non-inverting configuration with eight input lines and eight output lines. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supporting a propagation delay of 28 ns. It provides a low-level output current of 32 mA and a high-level output current of -2.6 mA. Designed for surface-mount applications, it is housed in a SOIC-24 package and functions reliably across an operating temperature range from 0°C to +70°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific tape-and-reel packaging requirements before ordering. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation. Check for obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes directly from Texas Instruments. Validate that the delivered part matches the SN74ALS996NT3 designation exactly.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal latch with read-back functionality is required in ALS speed grades. Compare against standard latches if read-back is unnecessary. Ensure the system voltage remains within the 4.5 V to 5.5 V limit. Verify that the SOIC-24 footprint fits the PCB layout. Consider power consumption characteristics relative to other ALS devices in the design.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part is part of the SN74ALS996 family, which includes variants like the SN74ALS996DW and SN74ALS996NT. These components share identical logical functionality but differ in packaging and shipping formats. The NT3 suffix specifically denotes the tape-and-reel packaging format intended for automated assembly processes.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include SN74ALS996NT and SN74ALS996DW, provided the packaging difference is acceptable. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications match exactly before substitution.
