74VHCT240A Rev. 1.3

74VHCT240A

Octal Buffer/Line Driver with 3-STATE Outputs

Features

outputs

General Description

The VHCT240A is an advanced high speed CMOS octal

bus transceiver fabricated with silicon gate CMOS

technology. It achieves high speed operation similar to

equivalent Bipolar Schottky TTL while maintaining the

CMOS low power dissipation. The VHCT240A is an

inverting 3-STATE buffer having two active-LOW output

enables. This device is designed to be used as 3-STATE

memory address drivers, clock drivers, and bus oriented

transmitter/ receivers.

Protection circuits ensure that 0V to 7V can be applied to

voltage. These circuits prevent device destruction due to

mismatched supply and input/output voltages. This

device can be used to interface 5V to 3V systems and

two supply systems such as battery back up.

Note:

1. Outputs in OFF-State

Ordering Information

Surface mount packages are also available on Tape and Reel. Specify by appending the suffix letter “X” to the

ordering number. Pb-Free package per JEDEC J-STD-020B.
