Product details
Overview
SN74LS367ANG4 from Texas Instruments is a hex buffer/line driver with three-state outputs, designed for bus-oriented bidirectional data transmission in TTL-compatible digital systems. It features 6 independent non-inverting buffers, ±20 mA output drive capability, 15 ns typical propagation delay at VCC = 5 V, and operates over 0°C to 70°C. It is commonly used in microprocessor address/data bus buffering and memory interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LS367ANG4 datasheet, SN74LS367ANG4 pinout, SN74LS367ANG4 application, or SN74LS367ANG4 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional specifications, package mapping to PDIP-16, confirmed three-state control logic, real-world timing values, and validated drop-in alternatives for industrial control and legacy system upgrades.
Technical Context
The SN74LS367ANG4 implements six independent non-inverting buffer gates, each with separate active-low enable inputs (1G, 2G) controlling two groups of three buffers. Its three-state outputs support high-impedance disconnection during bus contention or idle cycles, enabling shared-bus architectures without external isolation.
It uses standard TTL circuitry with Schottky-clamped transistors for improved speed and noise immunity. Input thresholds are compatible with LS-TTL and standard TTL logic families, and output voltage levels meet TTL VOH ≥ 2.7 V and VOL ≤ 0.5 V under rated load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | LS-TTL - ensures compatibility with legacy 74LS-series systems and predictable DC noise margins |
| Number of Channels | 6 non-inverting buffers - supports parallel data path expansion without signal inversion |
| Output Type | Three-state (active-low enable) - enables bidirectional bus sharing with no external bus transceivers |
| tPD (max) | 25 ns at VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C - defines worst-case timing budget for synchronous bus cycles |
| IOH/IOL | -20 mA / +20 mA - drives standard TTL loads directly, eliminating need for pull-up resistors on bus lines |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded control and instrumentation applications |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - tight regulation requirement ensures stable switching thresholds and fanout integrity |
Pinout & Package
SN74LS367ANG4 is supplied in a 16-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-N), with 0.3-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; the package complies with JEDEC MS-001 and supports wave or hand soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1G | Group 1 Output Enable (active-low) | Controls Y1–Y3; low enables buffers, high forces high-impedance state |
| 1A1–1A3 | Group 1 Inputs | Non-inverting inputs for first three buffers (Y1–Y3) |
| 1Y1–1Y3 | Group 1 Outputs | Three-state non-inverting outputs corresponding to 1A1–1A3 |
| 2G | Group 2 Output Enable (active-low) | Controls Y4–Y6; independent of 1G for split-bus control |
| 2A1–2A3 | Group 2 Inputs | Non-inverting inputs for last three buffers (Y4–Y6) |
| 2Y1–2Y3 | Group 2 Outputs | Three-state non-inverting outputs corresponding to 2A1–2A3 |
| GND | Ground Reference | Power return path for all logic and output stages |
| VCC | Positive Supply | +5 V supply for internal logic and output drivers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent dual-enable architecture | Allows selective activation of two 3-bit data lanes-ideal for segmented address/data buses |
| High-output current drive | ±20 mA per output sustains full fanout to 20 LS-TTL loads without degradation |
| Matched propagation delays | Typical tPD = 15 ns across all six channels ensures deterministic bus timing alignment |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8 V and VIH ≥ 2.0 V guarantee interoperability with 74LS, 74S, and standard TTL sources |
| Robust ESD protection | Exceeds 2 kV HBM - suitable for manual handling and board-level integration in non-cleanroom environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex buffer with three-state output applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LS244N | Octal (8-channel) non-inverting buffer; identical enable architecture and timing specs | Higher channel count suits wider buses; requires PCB layout change due to 20-pin PDIP footprint | Select when expanding from 6- to 8-bit data paths without changing logic behavior |
| SN74LS368N | Inverting hex buffer with three-state outputs; same pinout and electrical specs except polarity | Required where bus logic demands signal inversion (e.g., complemented control strobes) | Choose only when system-level timing analysis confirms inversion does not violate setup/hold windows |
Compared with SN74LS244N and SN74LS368N, the SN74LS367ANG4 provides optimal channel density for 6-bit sub-buses, avoids unnecessary pin count overhead, and eliminates polarity-related timing recalculations required with the inverting SN74LS368N.

FAQ
What is the function of the 1G and 2G pins on the SN74LS367ANG4?
The 1G and 2G pins are active-low output enable inputs that independently control two groups of three buffers. When 1G is low, outputs Y1–Y3 follow their respective inputs (1A1–1A3); when high, those outputs enter high-impedance state. The same applies to 2G and Y4–Y6. This allows SN74LS367ANG4 to manage segmented data paths without external logic.
Can SN74LS367ANG4 be used in place of SN74LS368N?
No - SN74LS367ANG4 is a non-inverting hex buffer, while SN74LS368N is inverting. Swapping them without logic inversion elsewhere will cause functional failure. The SN74LS367ANG4 pinout matches SN74LS368N, but polarity mismatch makes direct substitution invalid unless system-level signal inversion is compensated.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74LS367ANG4?
SN74LS367ANG4 is not a clocked device and has no defined maximum clock frequency. Its usable data rate depends on propagation delay (25 ns max) and system timing margins. For reliable operation in synchronous buses, it supports data valid windows up to approximately 40 MHz when paired with compatible setup/hold timing.
Is SN74LS367ANG4 RoHS compliant?
Yes - SN74LS367ANG4 carries "Yes" in the RoHS column of TI's official packaging documentation and uses NiPdAu (NIPDAU) lead finish, meeting EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements for restricted substances.
Does SN74LS367ANG4 require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
No - SN74LS367ANG4 features active push-pull outputs capable of sourcing and sinking ±20 mA. External pull-ups are unnecessary for standard TTL bus termination; they would interfere with three-state functionality and increase power consumption unnecessarily.
