Product details

Inverting 3-state buffer for 5V and 3.3V bus isolation

The Texas Instruments SN74HC368PW is a dual-element inverting buffer with 3-state outputs, part of the 74HC family.

2V to 6V supply — where it works and where it doesn't

The 2V to 6V supply range covers 3.3V and 5V rails cleanly. At 5V the HC family's noise margin is generous; at 3.3V the margins shrink but still meet the 0.8V/2.0V TTL thresholds if the downstream logic is 3.3V LVCMOS. Don't push it below 2V — the HC family doesn't guarantee operation at 1.8V, so if your board has a 1.8V bus you need an AHC or LVC part instead.

16-TSSOP footprint — what the board sees

The part comes in a 16-TSSOP package (4.40mm body width) with a 0.65mm lead pitch. It's a surface-mount package that reflows with a standard lead-free profile. No exposed pad, so thermal dissipation goes through the leads — fine for the sub-10mA output currents this part sees.

Frequently asked questions

Can SN74HC368PW be used with 5V logic?

Yes, the 2V to 6V supply range includes 5V. At 5V the HC family provides full noise margin and 7.8mA output drive.

What is the difference between SN74HC368PW and SN74HC367PW?

The SN74HC368PW is an inverting buffer; the SN74HC367PW is a non-inverting buffer. Both are 3-state, same package and supply range. Choose the polarity that matches your bus.
