Product details
Overview
74HC368D,653 from Nexperia is a hex inverting 3-state buffer/line driver in SO16 package, operating from 2.0 V to 6.0 V, with CMOS-level inputs, ±35 mA output drive, and propagation delay of 9 ns at VCC = 6.0 V. It enables bidirectional bus control in digital logic systems such as industrial I/O expanders and microcontroller peripheral interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC368D,653 datasheet, 74HC368D,653 pinout, 74HC368D,653 application, or 74HC368D,653 equivalent, key selection criteria include its inverting 3-state logic behavior, SO16 thermal derating (12.4 mW/K above 110 °C), VIH/VIL thresholds across supply voltage, and compatibility with 74HCT368 for TTL-level input interfacing.
Technical Context
This device implements six independent inverting buffers, each with active-low 3-state enable (1OE, 2OE) controlling output impedance. The outputs enter high-impedance OFF-state when OE is HIGH, allowing shared bus operation without contention.
Input clamp diodes support interface to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors. Static characteristics are specified over -40 °C to +125 °C, with VOH ≥ 5.48 V and VOL ≤ 0.26 V at VCC = 6.0 V and IO = ±7.8 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Hex inverting buffer with 3-state outputs; enables bus isolation via dual active-low OE inputs. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V; supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and low-power operation at 2.0 V. |
| Propagation Delay | 9 ns typical at VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 15 pF; ensures timing compliance in 50 MHz+ synchronous bus designs. |
| Output Drive | ±35 mA per output; sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple 74-series inputs. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C; qualified for extended industrial and under-hood embedded applications. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 4.2 V, VIL = 1.8 V at VCC = 6.0 V; provides >1.2 V noise margin for robust CMOS-level signal integrity. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW max (SO16); derates linearly at 12.4 mW/K above 110 °C for thermal management in dense PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
74HC368D,653 uses the SOT109-1 (SO16) plastic small outline package: 16-pin, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm pitch, surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 15 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output enable inputs; HIGH forces all six outputs into high-impedance state. |
| 2, 4, 6, 10, 12, 14 | 1A–6A | Inverting data inputs; each drives corresponding Y output with logical inversion. |
| 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 | 1Y–6Y | Inverting 3-state outputs; reflect inverted A-input state when OE is LOW. |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference (0 V); must be low-impedance connection for stable noise immunity. |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply rail; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm of this pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Supply Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V operation enables direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic families without level shifters. |
| CMOS Input Compatibility | VIH/VIL thresholds track VCC proportionally (e.g., VIH = 0.7×VCC), ensuring reliable switching across voltage range. |
| High Noise Immunity | Typical noise margin >1.2 V at VCC = 6.0 V; reduces susceptibility to EMI in noisy industrial environments. |
| Clamp Diode Protection | Integrated input clamp diodes allow safe interfacing to signals up to VCC + 0.5 V using external current-limiting resistors. |
| JEDEC Compliance | Fully compliant with JESD7A (2.0–6.0 V) and JESD8C (2.7–3.6 V); meets industry-standard reliability and interoperability requirements. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Microcontroller Bus Isolation |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Isolating microcontroller GPIO banks from high-noise fieldbus peripherals in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverting 3-state buffer enabling bidirectional data flow control between MCU and isolated RS-485 transceivers. Use Value: Prevents bus contention during reset or firmware update by placing outputs in high-Z state, eliminating signal corruption on shared data lines. |
Use Scenario: Driving address/data multiplexed buses in legacy 8-bit microcontroller systems with limited drive strength. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hex inverting line driver providing fanout and level translation between MCU and external memory or peripheral ICs. Use Value: Delivers ±35 mA per output to meet setup/hold timing margins for 74LS-compatible loads while maintaining <9 ns propagation delay. |
| Digital Test Equipment Signal Conditioning | Automated Test Fixture Control Logic |
|
Use Scenario: Conditioning logic-level signals from FPGA-based pattern generators before routing to DUT pins in ATE systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverting buffer with precise transition times (4–15 ns) ensuring clean edge integrity for high-speed digital stimulus. Use Value: Low transition time (<15 ns) and matched tPHL/tPLH minimize skew across six parallel channels, critical for synchronized multi-pin testing. |
Use Scenario: Controlling relay drivers and opto-isolators in automated test fixtures requiring simultaneous channel enable/disable sequencing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-OE controlled 3-state buffer enabling synchronized activation/deactivation of six independent load circuits. Use Value: Independent 1OE/2OE inputs allow grouped channel control (e.g., 1OE for channels 1–3, 2OE for 4–6), simplifying fixture sequencer logic. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex inverting 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT368D,653 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V); identical SO16 package and pinout. | Required when interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL logic; not suitable for pure CMOS systems below 4.5 V. | Select for mixed-logic systems where upstream drivers are TTL, not CMOS. |
| SN74HC368N | PDIP-16 package; wider lead spacing (0.3 inch); no thermal derating curve provided; rated only to +85 °C. | Suitable for prototyping or through-hole assembly; lacks extended temperature and thermal performance for industrial deployment. | Choose only for lab evaluation or non-temperature-critical through-hole designs. |
Compared with 74HC368D,653, the 74HCT368D,653 offers guaranteed TTL input compatibility but sacrifices low-voltage operation below 4.5 V, while the SN74HC368N provides identical logic function in through-hole form but lacks industrial temperature rating and thermal derating data needed for production-grade thermal design.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by 74HC368D,653?
The 74HC368D,653 is not a clocked device-it has no internal clock and operates asynchronously. Its usable signal frequency depends on propagation delay (9 ns typical at VCC = 6.0 V) and load capacitance. For a 15 pF load, maximum reliable toggle rate is approximately 55 MHz, assuming full logic swing and proper termination.
Can 74HC368D,653 drive LEDs directly?
No-its outputs are designed for logic-level interfacing, not power driving. While it can source/sink ±35 mA per output, sustained LED current requires current-limiting resistors and thermal derating. Use dedicated LED drivers or discrete transistors for continuous illumination applications.
Is 74HC368D,653 pin-compatible with 74LS368?
No-74LS368 uses different input thresholds, higher supply current, and TTL-compatible outputs. Though pinout matches (SO16), electrical behavior differs significantly: 74HC368D,653 draws <160 μA ICC at VCC = 6.0 V, whereas 74LS368 draws ~24 mA, risking overdrive or latch-up if substituted without circuit redesign.
Does 74HC368D,653 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on OE inputs?
No-OE inputs are CMOS-compatible with rail-to-rail voltage thresholds and negligible leakage (<±0.1 μA). They may be driven directly from MCU GPIO or logic gates. However, if left unconnected, OE floats HIGH, forcing outputs into high-impedance state-so intentional tie-off is recommended for deterministic startup behavior.
