SN74HC368ANS

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74HC368ANS is a hex inverting buffer and line driver from the Texas Instruments SN74HC series. It features six independent inverters with three-state outputs controlled by low-active output enable inputs (/OE1 and /OE2). The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V, supporting high-speed CMOS logic performance. It utilizes an SOIC-16 surface-mount package and is rated for operation between -40°C and +85°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ANS' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the exact package type (SOIC-16) and tape/reel specifications. Ensure the component meets required RoHS compliance standards for your assembly process. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm parameter accuracy before finalizing procurement.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring multiple inverted signal paths with tri-state control. It is suitable for systems operating between 2 V and 6 V where propagation delay and power consumption are critical factors. Compare against HCT variants if TTL-compatible input levels are strictly required instead of standard CMOS thresholds.
