Product details
Overview
74HCT366DB,118 from Nexperia is a hex inverting 3-state buffer/line driver IC designed for bus-oriented applications requiring bidirectional data flow control. It features two independent output-enable inputs (OE1, OE2), TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V), 16-pin SO16 package, and operates across -40 °C to +125 °C. Used in industrial PLC I/O modules for isolating microcontroller GPIOs from noisy field-side buses.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT366DB,118 datasheet, 74HCT366DB,118 pinout, 74HCT366DB,118 application, or 74HCT366DB,118 equivalent, this device is selected for its guaranteed TTL-level input compatibility, low static current (≤160 μA at 125 °C), fast enable/disable timing (ten ≤ 53 ns, tdis ≤ 53 ns at VCC = 4.5 V), and robust 3-state drive capability (±6 mA output at VCC = 4.5 V).
Technical Context
The 74HCT366DB,118 implements six identical inverting buffer stages, each with independent output control via dual active-low enables (OE1 controls outputs 1Y–3Y; OE2 controls 4Y–6Y). Its TTL-compatible input structure ensures direct interfacing with legacy 5 V logic families without level-shifting.
Each output exhibits true 3-state behavior: HIGH, LOW, or high-impedance OFF (Z), with leakage < ±10 μA in OFF-state and rail-to-rail VOH/VOL performance (VOH ≥ 3.7 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V at IO = ±6 mA, VCC = 4.5 V, 125 °C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 74HCT - TTL-compatible CMOS, enabling direct connection to 5 V bipolar logic without pull-ups or translators. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Matches standard 5 V system rails; operation outside this range invalidates guaranteed timing and voltage specs. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤36 ns max (nA → nY, VCC = 4.5 V, -40 °C to +125 °C) - Ensures deterministic timing in synchronous bus arbitration circuits. |
| Enable/Disable Time | ≤53 ns max (OEn → nY, VCC = 4.5 V, -40 °C to +125 °C) - Supports rapid bus turnaround in half-duplex communication protocols. |
| Output Drive | ±6.0 mA (VCC = 4.5 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V, VOH ≥ 3.7 V) - Sufficient to drive 50 pF loads over 10 cm PCB traces in industrial backplanes. |
| Input Leakage | ±1.0 μA max (VI = GND or VCC, VCC = 5.5 V, -40 °C to +125 °C) - Minimizes unintended current paths in high-impedance control lines. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood industrial control enclosures and extended-temperature programmable logic interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
74HCT366DB,118 is housed in a plastic small outline package (SO16, SOT109-1) with 16 leads, 3.9 mm body width, and standard 1.27 mm lead pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; pin numbering follows counter-clockwise convention from top-left corner when viewed with marking side up.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 15 | OE1, OE2 | Active-low output enable inputs - OE1 controls 1Y–3Y; OE2 controls 4Y–6Y; both must be LOW for enabled outputs. |
| 2, 4, 6, 10, 12, 14 | 1A–6A | Inverting data inputs - Each drives corresponding inverted output (e.g., 1A → 1Y); CMOS inputs with clamp diodes for overvoltage tolerance. |
| 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 | 1Y–6Y | Inverting 3-state outputs - Output state is inverted input when OE is LOW; high-impedance when OE is HIGH. |
| 8 | GND | Digital ground reference - Must be connected to system 0 V plane; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm of pin 8 and pin 16. |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply - 4.5–5.5 V nominal; requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling between pins 8 and 16. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - Eliminates need for external level shifters when interfacing with legacy 5 V microcontrollers or FPGAs. |
| Dual independent output enables | OE1 and OE2 separately control two groups of three outputs - Enables partitioned bus driving (e.g., address vs. data lanes) without external gating logic. |
| High noise immunity | Typical noise margin > 0.8 V at VCC = 5 V - Resists EMI-induced glitches in electrically noisy factory-floor environments. |
| ESD protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - Reduces risk of handling damage during manual assembly or field maintenance. |
| Wide temperature operation | Specified from -40 °C to +125 °C - Validated for use in uncooled industrial controllers exposed to ambient thermal cycling. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT366D,118 | Identical electrical specs and pinout; differs only in packaging - SO16 (SOT109-1) vs. TSSOP16 (SOT403-1) footprint. | Requires PCB redesign for surface-mount land pattern; no change in thermal or electrical performance. | Select for space-constrained layouts where 4.4 mm body width is critical; verify solder paste volume for fine-pitch TSSOP reflow. |
| SN74HCT366N | Dual-in-line package (DIP-16); same logic function but higher parasitic inductance and no thermal pad; max operating temp limited to +70 °C. | Suitable only for lab prototypes or low-density through-hole boards; not rated for industrial temperature cycling. | Choose only for breadboard evaluation or legacy repair; avoid for production designs requiring -40 °C to +125 °C operation. |
Compared with 74HCT366D,118, the 74HCT366DB,118 offers identical functionality in a standardized SO16 package optimized for automated assembly, while SN74HCT366N trades industrial reliability for prototyping convenience - making the DB variant the default choice for volume industrial deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended supply voltage for 74HCT366DB,118?
The absolute maximum supply voltage is +7 V, but the recommended operating range is strictly 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Operation above 5.5 V voids guaranteed timing, voltage threshold, and DC parametric specifications per Nexperia's Product Data Sheet Rev. 7. Exceeding 5.5 V risks accelerated parametric drift and reduced long-term reliability.
Can 74HCT366DB,118 drive a 100 pF load reliably?
No - the datasheet specifies dynamic characteristics (propagation delay, transition time) only for CL = 15 pF and 50 pF. Driving 100 pF will increase tpd and tt beyond published limits (e.g., tpd may exceed 50 ns), potentially violating setup/hold timing in synchronous systems. Use a lower-capacitance layout or add a dedicated line driver stage.
Is there a non-inverting version of this device?
Yes - the 74HCT367DB,118 is the functional complement: hex non-inverting 3-state buffer with identical pinout, electrical specs, and package. It shares the same dual-OE architecture and -40 °C to +125 °C rating, enabling drop-in replacement where signal polarity must be preserved.
Does 74HCT366DB,118 require external pull-up resistors on its inputs?
No - its TTL-compatible inputs have built-in threshold circuitry and clamp diodes. Inputs are fully specified for direct connection to 5 V logic outputs (e.g., 74LS, 74F, or microcontroller GPIOs) without external biasing. Pull-ups are unnecessary and may distort VIH/VIL margins.
