SN74HC368PW

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74HC368PW 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 active-high. It provides high-current outputs capable of driving bus lines, memory address registers, or up to 15 LSTTL loads. Typical propagation delay is 10 ns, with maximum input current of 1 μA and power consumption of 80 μA.
