Triple buffer for automotive and industrial signal conditioning
It packs three independent buffer elements into a single 8-TSSOP package, each with push-pull outputs capable of sourcing or sinking 5.2 mA.
What the 5.2 mA output drive means for your BOM
The 5.2 mA per-channel output current is typical for 74HC logic at 5 V — enough to drive a single CMOS load or a short PCB trace, but not a long cable or a relay coil. If your design needs to fan out to multiple inputs or drive a bus beyond a few inches, plan on adding a line driver or using a higher-drive logic family. For most in-cabin or under-hood digital signal buffering (e.g., sensor interrupts, reset lines, enable signals), this part handles it without extra components.
Package and footprint flexibility
If your board is laid out for TSSOP, the MSOP variant fits the same footprint. The surface-mount package suits automated assembly, and the small footprint leaves room for passives on dense automotive PCBs.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
The product status is listed as Active, meaning Nexperia continues to manufacture this part with no announced end-of-life. The AEC-Q100 qualification is a strong signal for long-term supply commitment in automotive programs.
