SN74LS368ADR

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74LS368ADR is a hex bus driver with 3-state outputs from the Texas Instruments LS logic series. It features six non-inverting inputs and outputs in a 16-pin SOIC-Narrow package. Electrical specifications include a low-level output current of 24 mA and a high-level output current of -2.6 mA at 5 V. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V, with a propagation delay of 22 ns at 5 V. It supports surface-mount installation and functions within an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ADR' corresponds to the tape-and-reel packaging format required for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the LS logic family voltage requirements align with the target system's 5V power rails. Ensure the SOIC-16 footprint matches the PCB design constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when six buffered, non-inverting signals with tri-state control are required in a narrow surface-mount package. Consider the LS series speed and drive strength characteristics relative to system timing requirements. Evaluate thermal dissipation needs based on the total output current load during operation.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74LS368A hex bus driver family manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is designed for TTL-compatible logic systems requiring multiple buffered outputs. The device serves as a standard solution for expanding bus capabilities in digital electronics while maintaining signal integrity through controlled impedance paths.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the SN74LS368AD (same function, different packaging) or other LS-series hex bus drivers with 3-state outputs from compatible manufacturers. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameters match before substitution.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers FAQ

What is the logic polarity of the SN74LS368ADR?

The SN74LS368ADR provides non-inverting logic functionality, meaning the output state follows the input state directly.

Does the SN74LS368ADR support bidirectional data flow?

No, it is a unidirectional buffer/driver. For bidirectional applications, consider receivers like the SN74LS245 instead.
