Key Features
- Octal (8-bit) bidirectional bus transceiver with 3-state outputs for high-impedance bus sharing
- Advanced Low-power Schottky (ALS) TTL technology offering improved speed and lower power than standard TTL
- 3-state output control enables multiple devices to share a common data bus without conflict
- Compatible with TTL logic levels, ensuring easy integration into standard digital logic designs
- Available in DIP package (N suffix) for through-hole PCB assembly and prototyping
Applications
The SN74ALS760N is well-suited for bidirectional data bus applications in microprocessor systems, memory interfaces, and backplane interconnects where multiple bus masters must share a common data path. Its 3-state outputs allow the device to be disabled and effectively removed from the bus, making it ideal for multi-board communication and bus arbitration circuits. Typical uses include data buffering between CPU and peripheral buses, address/data multiplexing in embedded systems, and industrial control equipment requiring TTL-level logic interfacing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SN74ALS760N and what does it do?
The SN74ALS760N is an octal (8-bit) bidirectional bus transceiver with 3-state outputs from Texas Instruments, part of the Advanced Low-power Schottky (ALS) TTL logic family. It allows bidirectional data transfer between two buses and can be placed in a high-impedance state, enabling multiple devices to share a single data bus without electrical conflicts.
What are the key electrical specifications of the SN74ALS760N?
The SN74ALS760N operates on a 5V VCC supply and features ALS-series TTL logic levels (VIH ≥ 2V, VIL ≤ 0.8V). It provides 3-state outputs for bus sharing, supports propagation delays typical of ALS logic (around 8-12 ns), and offers improved power consumption over standard TTL while maintaining full TTL compatibility.
What are typical applications for the SN74ALS760N?
The SN74ALS760N is commonly used in microprocessor data bus buffering, memory interface circuits, backplane bus drivers, and bidirectional data path applications in industrial control systems. Its 3-state capability makes it ideal for multi-master bus architectures where bus isolation and direction control are required.
What package does the SN74ALS760N come in and how can I buy it?
The SN74ALS760N is available in a 20-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package) through-hole package, suitable for breadboard prototyping and through-hole PCB assembly. It is priced from approximately $1.94 per unit and is available through FindMyChip with worldwide shipping. Submit a quote request for volume pricing and availability.
What are suitable alternatives or replacements for the SN74ALS760N?
Compatible alternatives for the SN74ALS760N include the SN74LS760N (low-power Schottky version), SN74F760N (fast logic variant), and the SN74ABT245 or SN74HC245 for more modern CMOS-compatible designs. When selecting a replacement, verify the logic family compatibility, output drive strength, propagation delay, and supply voltage requirements of your target circuit.
