The 74HC368FP-E from Renesas is a dual inverting buffer in the 74HC family, operating from 2V to 6V. It features two channels with 3-State outputs, each providing 7.8mA drive current. This buffer is suitable for signal inversion, bus isolation, and level interfacing in consumer, industrial, and automotive applications. Its wide voltage range makes it a flexible choice for mixed 3.3V/5V designs.

  • Wide 2V to 6V Supply Range: Works with both 3.3V and 5V systems, reducing design complexity.
  • 3-State Outputs: Enables bus sharing and multiplexing.
  • Extended Temperature Range (-40°C to 125°C): Suitable for harsh industrial environments.
  • Low Power Consumption: Ideal for battery-operated devices.

5V and 3.3V Mixed-Voltage Interfacing

With 2V–6V operation, this buffer bridges 3.3V and 5V logic families, enabling communication between older and newer components.

Battery-Powered Equipment Signal Buffering

Low power consumption of 74HC logic extends battery life in portable devices while buffering control signals.

Bus Driving in Consumer Electronics

3-State outputs allow multiple peripherals to share a data bus in TVs, set-top boxes, and gaming consoles.

Industrial Sensor Conditioning

Rated for -40°C to 125°C, it buffers sensor outputs in factory automation, ensuring reliable logic levels in noisy environments.

LED and Relay Driving

The 7.8mA output can directly drive small LEDs or transistors for relay control, reducing external driver components.

Clock Signal Inversion

Use it to generate complementary clock signals for dual-edge sampling circuits in data acquisition systems.
