The 74LVX240MTC is an octal buffer/line driver with TRI-STATE outputs manufactured by Fairchild/ON Semiconductor. This device is part of the Low-Voltage Extended (LVX) family of logic devices, which are designed for high-speed performance and low power consumption. It is commonly used to buffer signals, drive high-capacitance loads, and isolate sections of a digital system.

Applications

• Data Buffering
• Line Driving
• Memory Interfacing
• Address Decoding
• Bus Driving
• Signal Isolation

Features

• Octal buffer/line driver: Contains eight independent buffer/driver circuits in a single package.
• TRI-STATE outputs: Allows the outputs to be disabled, effectively disconnecting the device from the bus.
• High-speed operation: Provides fast switching speeds for high-performance applications.
• Low power consumption: Minimizes power dissipation, making it suitable for battery-powered devices.
• TTL compatible inputs: Interfaces easily with TTL logic circuits.
• Package Type: SOIC-20

Benefits

• Enhanced Signal Integrity: Buffers signals to improve signal strength and reduce noise.
• Increased Driving Capability: Drives high-capacitance loads, enabling longer transmission distances.
• Bus Isolation: TRI-STATE outputs allow for easy bus isolation, preventing conflicts and improving system reliability.
• High Performance: Fast switching speeds enable high-speed operation in demanding applications.
• Energy Efficiency: Low power consumption reduces heat generation and extends battery life.

Additional Details

The 74LVX240MTC operates from a supply voltage of 3.3V or 5V. It features a propagation delay of approximately 6 ns. The TRI-STATE outputs are controlled by two Output Enable (OE) inputs. When both OE inputs are low, the outputs are enabled, and when either OE input is high, the outputs are in a high-impedance state. It is commonly used in memory systems to buffer address lines or data lines.
