SN74BCT760NS

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74BCT760NS is an octal buffer and line driver featuring open-collector outputs, designed for high-performance memory address drivers, clock drivers, and bus-oriented receivers. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. The device provides low-level output currents up to 64 mA and exhibits propagation delays ranging from 2.1 ns to 10 ns at 5 V. It supports ESD protection exceeding 2000 V per MIL-STD-883C Method 3015 and functions reliably in temperatures from 0°C to 70°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Features open-collector outputs suitable for driving bus lines or buffer memory address registers.
• Organized as two independent 4-bit buffers with separate output-enable inputs for flexible control.
• Provides enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection capabilities.

• Clock drivers
• Bus-oriented receivers and transmitters

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' corresponds to the Plastic Dual In-Line Package (PDIP) configuration. Confirm that the required operating temperature range aligns with the commercial specification of 0°C to 70°C. Ensure the design accommodates the open-collector nature of the outputs, which requires external pull-up resistors for proper high-state logic levels. Cross-reference the datasheet revision SCBS034B for accurate electrical parameters.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring octal buffering with open-collector topology. It serves as an alternative to standard three-state buffers where wired-AND logic or level shifting is necessary. Consider the package constraints of the PDIP-20 form factor during PCB layout. Evaluate the 64 mA sink capability against the load requirements of the destination circuitry to ensure signal integrity.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments BCT logic family, which combines BiCMOS technology for high speed with TTL-compatible input thresholds. The SN74BCT760 is functionally related to the SN74BCT244 but utilizes open-collector outputs instead of three-state outputs. It is distinct from the military-grade SN54BCT760, which offers an extended temperature range.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

SN74BCT244DW: Offers similar octal buffering but uses three-state outputs instead of open-collector. SN74BCT760N: Identical functional device in the same PDIP package. SN54BCT760J: Military-grade version with extended temperature range (-55°C to 125°C).
