SN74HC368D

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74HC368D is a hex inverting buffer and line driver with 3-state outputs manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports an operating temperature from -40°C to +85°C. The device features dual output-enable inputs (1OE and 2OE) that control the high-impedance state when inactive. It provides high-current outputs capable of driving bus lines, memory address registers, or up to 15 LSTTL loads.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers FAQ

How does the device handle data transmission?

When the output-enable input is low, the device passes inverted data from the A inputs to the Y outputs. When OE is high, the outputs enter a high-impedance state.

What is the maximum load capacity?

The outputs can drive up to 15 LSTTL loads.
