Product details
Overview
74HCT368D,652 from Nexperia is a hex inverting 3-state buffer/line driver in SO16 package, operating at 4.5–5.5 V supply with TTL-compatible inputs, 13 ns typical propagation delay (VCC = 4.5 V), ±6 mA output drive, and -40 °C to +125 °C temperature range - used for bidirectional bus interfacing in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT368D,652 datasheet, 74HCT368D,652 pinout, 74HCT368D,652 application, or 74HCT368D,652 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-level input compatibility, 3-state enable timing (17 ns enable / 20 ns disable), output leakage < ±5 μA in high-impedance mode, and SO16 thermal derating above 110 °C.
Technical Context
This device implements six independent inverting buffers, each with active-low 3-state output control via dedicated OE pins (1OE on Pin 1, 2OE on Pin 15). Its TTL-input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 5 V) ensure direct compatibility with legacy 5 V logic families without level-shifting.
Dynamic operation is characterized by tightly specified enable/disable timing (ten = 17 ns, tdis = 20 ns at VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 15 pF) and low transition time (tt = 5 ns), enabling reliable use in multiplexed address/data buses where output contention avoidance is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V - matches standard 5 V TTL systems; avoids need for external regulators. |
| Input Logic Type | TTL-compatible - accepts 0.8 V max low and 2.0 V min high, eliminating level translators. |
| Propagation Delay | 13 ns typ (nA to nY, VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 15 pF) - supports >30 MHz bus toggle rates. |
| Output Drive | ±6 mA - sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines or 10 LSTTL loads directly. |
| 3-State Leakage | ±5.0 μA max (VO = VCC/GND, VI = VIH/VIL) - ensures minimal bus loading during disable. |
| Operating Temp | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications. |
| Power Dissipation | 8.0 μA ICC per input (VCC = 5.5 V) - enables low-static-power system standby modes. |
Pinout & Package
74HCT368D,652 uses the SOT109-1 (SO16) plastic small outline package: 16-pin, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, JEDEC MS-012 compliant, with gull-wing leads suitable for reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 15 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low 3-state enable inputs - each controls three outputs; LOW enables, HIGH disables. |
| 2, 4, 6, 10, 12, 14 | 1A–6A | Inverting data inputs - drive corresponding Y outputs with logical inversion. |
| 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 | 1Y–6Y | Inverting 3-state outputs - reflect inverted A inputs when OE is LOW; high-Z when OE is HIGH. |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference - must be low-impedance connection to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply - decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 10 mm of this pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Supply Range | 4.5–5.5 V operation - accommodates 5 % tolerance power rails without regulation. |
| TTL Input Compatibility | VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V - eliminates need for external pull-ups or level shifters in 5 V systems. |
| Low Dynamic Power | CPD = 30 pF per buffer - enables predictable dynamic power calculation (PD = CPD × VCC² × fi × N). |
| High Noise Immunity | ΔVNS = 0.4 V min (VCC = 5 V) - rejects common-mode noise on shared bus lines. |
| ESD Robustness | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - withstands handling and board-level ESD events without protection diodes. |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Bus Driver | Legacy Microcontroller I/O Expander |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving multiplexed address/data lines between PLC CPU and modular I/O cards over 15 cm PCB traces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverting 3-state buffer isolating bidirectional bus segments; OE timed to avoid contention during direction switching. Use Value: 17 ns enable time ensures clean bus turn-around; ±6 mA drive sustains signal integrity across 50 Ω trace impedance. |
Use Scenario: Extending GPIO count of an 8-bit MCU (e.g., ATmega328P) to interface with multiple SPI peripherals sharing MISO/MOSI lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output-enable-controlled inverting buffer enabling/disabling peripheral data paths on demand. Use Value: TTL-compatible inputs accept MCU's native 0.5 V/2.4 V logic levels; low ICC (8 μA) minimizes standby current draw. |
| Test Equipment Signal Routing | Automated Test Fixture Control |
|
Use Scenario: Selectively routing calibrated analog reference signals to DUT channels using digital control in ATE systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverting buffer with 3-state outputs acting as digitally controlled analog switch matrix element. Use Value: < ±5 μA high-Z leakage prevents reference voltage droop; 5 ns transition time preserves signal edge fidelity. |
Use Scenario: Controlling relay drivers and LED status indicators in production test jigs requiring synchronized ON/OFF sequencing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hex inverter driving discrete transistor switches; OE pins sequenced to stagger activation and limit inrush current. Use Value: Independent OE pins (1OE/2OE) allow grouped control of 3 outputs each - simplifies timing-critical power-up sequencing. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT368N | Dual-in-line (PDIP16) package; identical electrical specs but 2.54 mm pitch and higher thermal resistance (θJA = 70 °C/W vs. 58 °C/W). | Suitable for prototyping or through-hole assembly; not recommended for high-density or thermally constrained PCBs. | Select for breadboard evaluation or legacy through-hole manufacturing lines. |
| 74LVC368PW | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); CMOS inputs; 3.3 V only; 3.5 ns propagation delay; 24 mA drive. | Designed for modern low-voltage mixed-signal systems; incompatible with 5 V buses without translation. | Choose only for 3.3 V domains requiring faster timing and higher drive - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with SN74HCT368N, 74HCT368D,652 offers superior thermal performance and surface-mount compatibility; versus 74LVC368PW, it maintains full 5 V interoperability at the cost of slightly higher propagation delay and lower drive strength.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by 74HCT368D,652?
The device does not operate as a clocked sequential circuit; its maximum usable toggle rate is determined by propagation delay and transition time. With 13 ns tpd and 5 ns tt, it reliably supports bus data rates up to 30 MHz in point-to-point configurations with 15 pF load. System-level timing must account for trace delays and setup/hold margins.
Can 74HCT368D,652 drive a 50 Ω transmission line directly?
Yes - its ±6 mA output drive at VOH/VOL specifications meets the current requirement for terminating a 50 Ω line at 5 V (100 mA needed for full swing is not required; 6 mA suffices for short traces with proper termination). For longer lines or stricter signal integrity, external series resistors or dedicated line drivers are recommended.
Is there a non-inverting version of this part?
Yes - the 74HCT367D,652 is the functional complement: hex non-inverting 3-state buffer with identical pinout, electrical specs, and SO16 packaging. It shares the same 1OE/2OE control architecture and operates across the same 4.5–5.5 V and -40 °C to +125 °C range.
Does 74HCT368D,652 require external pull-up resistors on OE pins?
No - OE pins are active-low CMOS inputs with negligible DC leakage (< ±0.1 μA). When driven actively by a microcontroller or FPGA, no pull-ups are needed. If left unconnected, OE floats HIGH (disable state), but that condition is not recommended due to noise susceptibility; always tie unused OE pins to VCC via 10 kΩ resistor or drive them logically.
