Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
Inverting octal buffer and line driver with TTL-compatible inputs accepting 4.5V to 5.5V logic levels. Provides high-speed signal buffering with independent output enables for bus control applications. Commonly used in digital systems for signal isolation and fanout expansion on microprocessor address and data buses.
Package: SOIC-20W (7.5mm wide) · 20 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
The 1.27mm pin pitch makes hand-soldering this 20-pin SOIC challenging and error-prone. A breakout board brings all pins to standard 0.1" spacing, enabling reliable breadboard prototyping and simplifying development of USB-to-UART interfaces without requiring reflow soldering or specialized equipment.
