Product details
Overview
SN74HC367N from Texas Instruments is a hex buffer and line driver IC with 3-state outputs, organized as two independent banks (4-channel + 2-channel), each controlled by its own active-low output-enable pin (1OE, 2OE). It operates from 2 V to 6 V, delivers ±6 mA output drive at 5 V, exhibits typical propagation delay of 10 ns, and supports bus interfacing in memory address buffering and clock distribution systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74HC367N datasheet, SN74HC367N pinout, SN74HC367N application, or SN74HC367N equivalent, this device is selected for high-density 3-state bus driving where low power (80 µA max ICC), true (non-inverting) logic, and LSTTL-load compatibility (up to 15 loads) are required in industrial and embedded control designs.
Technical Context
The SN74HC367N implements CMOS-based hex buffering with dual independent 3-state control: Bank 1 (pins 1A1–1Y4, enabled by 1OE) contains four drivers; Bank 2 (pins 2A1–2Y2, enabled by 2OE) contains two drivers. Each output transitions to high-impedance when its respective OE is high.
It features true (non-inverting) output logic, input thresholds scaled to VCC (VIH = 0.7×VCC, VIL = 0.3×VCC), and guaranteed operation across −40°C to +85°C. Electrical behavior is defined under CL = 50 pF load, with tpd = 10 ns (typ), ten = 24 ns (typ), and tt = 13 ns (typ) at VCC = 6 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - enables direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic families without level translation. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±6 mA at 5 V - sufficient to drive 15 LSTTL loads or terminate short PCB traces on shared buses. |
| Propagation Delay | 10 ns (typ) at VCC = 6 V, CL = 50 pF - supports reliable timing in sub-100 MHz digital control paths. |
| Quiescent Current | 80 µA max ICC - ensures minimal standby power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
| Input Leakage Current | ±1 µA max - prevents unintended logic state shifts when inputs are tied to pull-up/pull-down resistors. |
| 3-State Enable/Disable Time | ten = 24 ns, tdis = 41 ns (typ) at VCC = 6 V - allows precise bus arbitration timing in multi-master configurations. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications including PLC I/O modules and motor controllers. |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1OE | Active-low output enable for Bank 1 (1A1–1Y4); drives all four outputs into high-Z when high. |
| 2 | 1A1 | Input for first buffer in Bank 1; non-inverted signal passes to 1Y1 when 1OE is low. |
| 3 | 1Y1 | True (non-inverting) output corresponding to 1A1; high-impedance when 1OE is high. |
| 4 | 1A2 | Input for second buffer in Bank 1; routed to 1Y2 when 1OE is low. |
| 5 | 1Y2 | True output for 1A2; electrically isolated from other outputs during 3-state mode. |
| 6 | 1A3 | Input for third buffer in Bank 1; functional only when 1OE is asserted low. |
| 7 | 1Y3 | True output for 1A3; shares no internal path with Bank 2 outputs. |
| 8 | GND | Power ground reference for all logic and output stages; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 9 | 1A4 | Input for fourth buffer in Bank 1; enables full 4-channel buffering under single enable control. |
| 10 | 1Y4 | True output for 1A4; completes Bank 1's quad-driver capability. |
| 11 | 2Y1 | True output for 2A1 in Bank 2; independently controlled by 2OE (pin 15). |
| 12 | 2A1 | Input for first buffer in Bank 2; isolated from Bank 1 signal paths. |
| 13 | 2Y2 | True output for 2A2; provides dual-channel buffering with separate enable. |
| 14 | 2A2 | Input for second buffer in Bank 2; supports independent 2-signal routing. |
| 15 | 2OE | Active-low output enable for Bank 2 (2A1–2Y2); independent of 1OE for flexible bus partitioning. |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply rail (2–6 V); requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor per TI layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide supply range (2–6 V) | Eliminates need for dedicated voltage regulators when interfacing mixed-voltage subsystems (e.g., 3.3 V MCU to 5 V peripheral bus). |
| High-current 3-state outputs | ±6 mA drive at 5 V ensures robust signal integrity across loaded backplanes or long trace runs without external buffers. |
| Low power consumption | 80 µA max ICC reduces thermal load and extends runtime in always-on industrial monitoring nodes. |
| True (non-inverting) outputs | Maintains signal polarity end-to-end-critical for address/data bus mirroring and clock fanout without logic inversion errors. |
| Dual independent output-enable controls | Enables selective activation of 4-line vs. 2-line banks-ideal for dynamic bus segmentation in programmable logic controllers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex buffer with 3-state output applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT367N | CMOS input thresholds replaced with TTL-compatible thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min at VCC = 4.5 V); otherwise identical pinout, timing, and drive. | Better suited for direct interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL logic without pull-ups; less suitable for mixed 3.3 V/5 V systems requiring CMOS threshold scaling. | Select SN74HCT367N only when driving or receiving from standard TTL outputs; retain SN74HC367N for CMOS-native or wide-VCC designs. |
| 74LCX367M | Lower VCC range (2.0–3.6 V), higher speed (tpd = 5.5 ns typ at 3.3 V), and 5 V-tolerant inputs; different pinout (SOIC-16 only, no PDIP option). | Optimized for 3.3 V-only systems requiring faster bus turnaround; incompatible with 5 V operation or through-hole assembly. | Choose 74LCX367M for high-speed 3.3 V FPGA I/O expansion; use SN74HC367N when 5 V support, PDIP packaging, or industrial temp range is mandatory. |
Compared with SN74HCT367N and 74LCX367M, the SN74HC367N uniquely balances wide supply flexibility (2–6 V), industrial temperature rating (−40°C to +85°C), PDIP availability, and CMOS input compatibility-making it the default choice for general-purpose 3-state buffering in mixed-voltage industrial hardware.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for the SN74HC367N?
The SN74HC367N supports a maximum supply voltage of 6 V, with absolute maximum rating at 7 V. Operation above 6 V violates recommended conditions and risks parametric shift or accelerated wear-out. The device is fully specified from 2 V to 6 V, making it compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V systems without external regulation.
Does the SN74HC367N support 3.3 V operation with 5 V-tolerant inputs?
No-the SN74HC367N does not feature 5 V-tolerant inputs. Its input voltage limits are rail-to-rail (0 V to VCC), and VIH/VIL thresholds scale with VCC (e.g., VIH = 3.15 V min at VCC = 4.5 V). When operated at 3.3 V, inputs must remain within 0–3.3 V; applying 5 V signals will exceed absolute maximum ratings and may cause damage.
How are the two output-enable pins (1OE and 2OE) used in practice?
1OE controls the four buffers in Bank 1 (1A1–1Y4), while 2OE independently controls the two buffers in Bank 2 (2A1–2Y2). This allows selective activation-for example, using 1OE to gate address lines and 2OE to control chip-select strobes-enabling time-multiplexed bus access or partial resource isolation in complex I/O architectures.
Can unused inputs on the SN74HC367N be left floating?
No-TI explicitly requires all unused inputs to be tied to VCC or GND. Floating CMOS inputs induce shoot-through current, increase power consumption, cause erratic output states, and raise EMI susceptibility. For SN74HC367N, tie unconnected A-inputs to GND (for logic-low default) or VCC (for logic-high default), per the function table and SCBA004 application report.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the SN74HC367N in PDIP package?
The SN74HC367N in PDIP (N) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 67°C/W, as specified in the Thermal Information table. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions; actual performance improves with added copper pour or airflow, and degrades with dense component placement or lack of thermal vias.
