SN74LVT16240DLRG4 - Texas Instruments 3.3-V ABT 16-Bit Buffers/Drivers with 3-State Outputs

The SN74LVT16240DLRG4 is a high-performance, 16-bit buffer and driver designed by Texas Instruments to provide the ideal balance between speed and power consumption. This integrated circuit is part of the LVT family, which operates at a lower voltage to ensure energy efficiency, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including telecommunications, computing, and industrial systems.

Constructed with BiCMOS technology, the SN74LVT16240DLRG4 is capable of interfacing with 3.3-V logic levels, ensuring compatibility with modern microprocessors and digital systems. The device features two separate 8-bit sections, which can be used independently or combined to form a single 16-bit bus. Each section is equipped with its own output-enable (OE) input, which controls the state of the outputs and allows the device to be used in bus-oriented applications.

The outputs of the SN74LVT16240DLRG4 are 3-state, meaning they can be in a high, low, or high-impedance state. This feature is particularly useful when multiple devices need to share a common data or address bus, as it allows the outputs to be effectively disconnected, preventing bus contention. The 3-state outputs also facilitate the creation of bidirectional interfaces between buses of different sizes.

Key features of the SN74LVT16240DLRG4 include:

• Support for mixed-mode signal operation, with the capability to handle 5-V inputs safely in a 3.3-V environment.
• High-drive outputs (-32 mA IOH, 64 mA IOL) to drive demanding loads with ease.
• Low-voltage operation and reduced power consumption, which is critical for battery-powered and energy-saving systems.
• Bus hold on data inputs to eliminate the need for external pull-up/pull-down resistors, simplifying board design and reducing component count.

The device is offered in a 48-pin SSOP (DL) package, which is designed to occupy minimal space on printed circuit boards (PCBs), making it an excellent choice for compact and high-density applications. With its robust design and compatibility with JEDEC standard no. 7A requirements, the SN74LVT16240DLRG4 is a reliable and versatile component that enhances the performance of digital systems requiring high-speed data transfer and low power consumption.
