These hex buffers and line drivers are designed specifically to improve both the performance and density of 3-state memory address drivers, clock drivers, and bus-oriented receivers and transmitters. The HC368 devices are organized as dual 4-line and 2-line buffers/drivers with active-low output-enable (1OE\ and 2OE\) inputs. When OE\ is low, the device passes inverted data from the A inputs to the Y outputs. When OE\ is high, the outputs are in the high-impedance state.
