Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
The 74HCT368 is a hex inverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs in a 16-pin SO package. It features independent output enable controls for each pair of channels, allowing high-impedance OFF-state operation. Ideal for bus interfaces, signal conditioning, and TTL-level logic applications requiring inverted buffering with tri-state capability.
Package: SOIC-16 (3.9×9.9mm) · 16 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
The 1.27mm pin pitch on this 16-pin package makes hand-soldering impractical and breadboard mounting impossible. A breakout board brings the pins to standard 2.54mm spacing, enabling quick prototyping of RS-232/RS-485 transceivers, ADCs, and line drivers without requiring surface-mount soldering skills or PCB fabrication.
