The SN74LS365AN is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74LS family of logic devices. It is a hex bus driver with three-state outputs, meaning it can control bus lines with multiple signals.
One of the key features of the SN74LS365AN is its hex or six-inverter buffers, which can be used to control data transmission on bus lines. These inverters receive input signals and produce complementary outputs, enabling bidirectional communication.
The IC has three-state outputs, allowing the bus lines to be disconnected from the rest of the system when not in use. This feature helps prevent bus contention, where two or more devices try to drive the bus simultaneously, causing signal interference.
Another notable feature of the SN74LS365AN is its ability to handle TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) level signals. It is compatible with standard TTL logic levels, making it suitable for use in various digital systems.
The IC operates on a wide voltage range, typically from 4.75V to 5.25V, and it can withstand a broader input voltage from 2V to 7V. This flexibility makes it compatible with different power supply ranges and provides tolerance against voltage variations
