description

These octal buffers and line drivers are designed specifically for low-voltage (3.3-V) V_CC operation, but with the capability to provide a TTL interface to a 5-V system environment.

These devices are organized as two 4-bit buffer/line drivers with separate output-enable () inputs. When is low, the devices pass data from the A inputs to the Y outputs. When is high, the outputs are in the high-impedance state.

When V_CC is between 0 and 1.5 V, the device is in the high-impedance state during power up or power down. However, to ensure the high-impedance state above 1.5 V, should be tied to V_CC through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.

The SN74LVT240A is available in TI's shrink small-outline package (DB), which provides the same I/O pin count and functionality of standard small-outline packages in less than half the printed circuit board area.

The SN54LVT240A is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The SN74LVT240A is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C.
