SN74LS368AML1-MO

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74LS368AML1-MO is a hex buffer and line driver manufactured by Motorola, belonging to the LS logic series. It features six non-inverting inputs and outputs housed in a surface-mount package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V. Key electrical characteristics include a propagation delay of 18 ns at 5 V, a low-level output current of 24 mA, and a high-level output current of -2.6 mA. It supports a maximum operating temperature of +70 C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Provides six independent non-inverting buffer channels for signal conditioning
• Designed for line driving applications with defined output current capabilities
• Utilizes Low-power Schottky (LS) bipolar logic technology

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as Texas Instruments also produces this part number. Confirm the specific suffix 'AML1-MO' corresponds to the intended Motorola surface-mount variant. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and verify RoHS compliance status against current regulatory requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when six non-inverting buffers are required in a surface-mount configuration. Compare propagation delay and output drive strength against other LS series alternatives. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental specifications of the target application. Verify pinout compatibility if replacing legacy through-hole designs.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component is part of the standard SN74LS368 family of hex buffers. Motorola produced variants alongside Texas Instruments. The device serves as a fundamental building block for digital logic circuits requiring signal isolation or amplification without inversion. It is widely used in legacy and industrial control systems.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

SN74LS368N is a through-hole equivalent from Texas Instruments. SN74LS368AN is another TI variant in DIP packaging. Cross-reference pinouts and electrical parameters carefully when substituting between manufacturers or package types.
