74HC inverting buffer with 3-state outputs — 16-SOIC
The Texas Instruments SN74HC368NSR is a 74HC-series hex inverting buffer with 3-state outputs, packaged in a 16-SOIC (0.209", 5.30mm width) surface-mount package. The device contains two elements: one 2-bit and one 4-bit (hex) inverting buffer, each with independent 3-state output control. Output drive capability is 7.8 mA for both high and low states.
2V to 6V supply — fits 3.3V and 5V rails
At 5V the 74HC family gives you the full CMOS output swing, which helps noise margin on a long backplane trace. At 3.3V the output high is still above 2.4V, enough for most downstream 3.3V CMOS inputs.
The 74HC process holds its propagation delay within a few nanoseconds across the range, so timing closure at cold start is predictable.
