Product Overview: SN74LVC240ANSR from Texas Instruments
The SN74LVC240ANSR is a high-performance, octal buffer/line driver from Texas Instruments designed to operate from 2.7 V to 3.6 V, making it ideal for interfacing with 3.3 V logic in a wide range of applications. This device is part of the LVC family, which is known for its low-voltage operation and high-speed interfacing capabilities.
The SN74LVC240ANSR features eight inverting buffers and line drivers with 3-state outputs, which can be used to drive bus lines or buffer memory address registers. The 3-state outputs ensure that the device can be connected directly to a bus-structured system. When the output-enable (OE) input is high, the outputs are in the high-impedance state, which allows for bidirectional data flow with external pull-up resistors.
This device is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C, ensuring reliable performance in a wide range of environmental conditions. The SN74LVC240ANSR comes in a compact SOP (Small Outline Package) NS package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications.
Key Features:
- Operates from 2.7 V to 3.6 V
- Max tpd of 3.9 ns at 3.3 V
- Octal bus interface
- -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range
- Low power consumption
- Edge-rate control circuitry for significantly improved noise characteristics
- IOFF and power-up 3-state support hot insertion
- ESD protection exceeds JESD 22
The device's low power consumption and edge-rate control features make it suitable for battery-operated equipment, and its enhanced ESD protection allows for improved system robustness. The IOFF circuitry prevents damaging current backflow through the device when it is powered down. Texas Instruments' SN74LVC240ANSR is a versatile component that can be used in telecommunications, computing, networking, and many other digital applications where high-speed, low-power operation is essential.
