NXP Semiconductors 74LV367DB,118

Overview

74LV367DB,118 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is a hex non-inverting 3-state buffer/line driver in SSOP-16 package, operating from 1.0 V to 3.6 V supply, with 8 ns typical propagation delay at VCC = 3.3 V and CL = 15 pF, supporting bus driving up to 8 mA per output, used in low-voltage digital interface buffering and address/data bus isolation.

For engineers reviewing the 74LV367DB,118 datasheet, 74LV367DB,118 pinout, 74LV367DB,118 application, or 74LV367DB,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state output control timing (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 30 ns at 3.3 V), input compatibility with TTL levels at VCC ≥ 2.7 V, low ICC quiescent current (≤ 160 µA), and SSOP-16 thermal derating above +60°C.

Technical Context

The 74LV367DB,118 implements six independent non-inverting buffers, each with active-low 3-state enable (1OE, 2OE) controlling two outputs per group. Its CMOS structure ensures rail-to-rail output swing and low static power consumption across its full 1.0–3.6 V operating range.

It is functionally and pin-compatible with 74HC367 and 74HCT367 but optimized for lower voltage operation, with guaranteed DC characteristics from 1.2 V and dynamic performance validated at 3.3 V with 15 pF load. Input thresholds scale with VCC, enabling interoperability across mixed-voltage logic domains.

FAQ

What is the minimum supply voltage at which 74LV367DB,118 guarantees functional operation?

The 74LV367DB,118 is guaranteed to function down to VCC = 1.0 V when inputs are driven to GND or VCC. However, DC electrical characteristics (VOH, VOL, VIH, VIL) are fully specified only from VCC = 1.2 V to 3.6 V. At 1.0 V, operation is functional but timing and voltage margins are not characterized - use 1.2 V or higher for production designs requiring guaranteed specs.

Does 74LV367DB,118 support TTL-level inputs at 3.3 V supply?

Yes, the 74LV367DB,118 accepts TTL input levels when VCC is between 2.7 V and 3.6 V. At VCC = 3.3 V, VIH is guaranteed ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V, matching standard TTL thresholds. This allows direct connection to 5 V TTL outputs without level-shifting circuitry, simplifying mixed-voltage board design.

What is the maximum output current per pin for 74LV367DB,118, and under what conditions is it rated?

The 74LV367DB,118 supports ±35 mA DC output source/sink current per output pin under the condition that VO remains between –0.5 V and VCC + 0.5 V. This rating applies to bus-driver outputs and is validated across the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range. Continuous operation at this level requires adherence to package power dissipation limits (400 mW for SSOP, derated above +60°C).

How does the 3-state enable logic work on 74LV367DB,118?

The 74LV367DB,118 uses two active-low 3-state enable inputs: 1OE (pin 1) controls outputs 1Y, 2Y, and 3Y; 2OE (pin 15) controls outputs 4Y, 5Y, and 6Y. When either nOE is HIGH, the corresponding three outputs enter high-impedance (Z) state regardless of input values. When nOE is LOW, outputs follow their respective inputs with non-inverting logic.

Is 74LV367DB,118 pin-compatible with 74HC367 or 74HCT367 devices?

Yes, the 74LV367DB,118 is pin and function compatible with 74HC367 and 74HCT367. All share identical pin numbering, logic function, and 3-state behavior. However, the LV version operates at lower voltages (1.0–3.6 V vs. 2.0–6.0 V), exhibits faster propagation delays at 3.3 V, and consumes significantly less quiescent current - making it a drop-in upgrade for 3.3 V systems.
