SN74LVC240ADBRG4 - Texas Instruments Octal Buffer/Line Driver

The SN74LVC240ADBRG4 is a high-performance, octal buffer and line driver designed to provide bidirectional drive currents of up to 24 mA at voltages from 2.7 V to 3.6 V. Manufactured by Texas Instruments, this integrated circuit is part of their 74LVC family, known for its low-voltage operation and high-speed interface technology.

Encased in a SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 20 pins, the SN74LVC240ADBRG4 offers a compact solution for applications requiring high-speed data transfer and buffering, while also maintaining a low power consumption profile. Its design is optimized for 3.3 V systems but is also 5 V tolerant on input, ensuring compatibility with legacy systems and providing a versatile solution for mixed-voltage environments.

Key features of the SN74LVC240ADBRG4 include:

• Logic Family: LVC - Low-Voltage CMOS
• Logic Type: Octal Buffer/Line Driver with 3-State Outputs
• Operating Voltage Range: 2.7 V to 3.6 V
• Drive Current: ±24 mA Output Drive at 3.3 V
• Input Compatibility: 5 V Tolerant
• Package: 20-Pin SSOP (DBR)

The device features eight inverted buffers with three-state outputs, which can be used as line drivers for data bus applications. Its three-state outputs ensure that multiple outputs can be connected together for bus-organized systems without the risk of damaging the device or the bus structure.

Thanks to its low on-state resistance, the SN74LVC240ADBRG4 can transmit signals with minimal signal distortion, making it an excellent choice for interfacing with high-speed microprocessors or memory units. The device also incorporates bus-hold on data inputs, which eliminates the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors and simplifies circuit design.
