The SN74ACT240PWG4 is a high-performance, octal buffer/line driver designed by Texas Instruments to deliver both high-speed and high-drive capabilities. This device is equipped with two separate enables for each set of four buffers, allowing for greater flexibility in a variety of applications. The SN74ACT240PWG4 is part of the 74ACT family, known for its improved speed performance over standard logic while maintaining the ability to interface with 5V logic levels.

Key Features

• Logic Type: Octal Buffer/Line Driver with 3-state outputs
• Number of Channels: 8
• Output Current: -24mA / 24mA
• Operating Voltage: 4.5V to 5.5V
• Logic Level - Low: 0.8V
• Logic Level - High: 2V
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: TSSOP-20

The device's octal nature means it contains eight invertible buffers, making it ideal for driving bus lines or buffer memory address registers. Its 3-state outputs can be used in bus-organized systems and they ensure that the outputs effectively disconnect from the bus during power down or when not enabled, thereby preventing system conflicts.

Applications

The SN74ACT240PWG4 is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

• Bus Interface/Buffering
• Memory Address Driving
• Driving Heavily Loaded Bus Lines
• Data Communication and Telecommunication Systems

Designed with the quality and reliability that Texas Instruments is known for, the SN74ACT240PWG4 is a versatile component that enhances the functionality and performance of your digital systems. Its TSSOP-20 package allows for a compact footprint on PCBs, making it a great choice for space-constrained applications while providing robust buffering capabilities.
