The SN74LVTH16240DL is a high-performance, 16-bit buffer and line driver designed for use in 3.3V systems. Manufactured by Texas Instruments, this integrated circuit is part of the LVTH family, which stands for Low-Voltage BiCMOS technology with TTL-compatible inputs. The device is specifically engineered to support low-voltage applications where signal integrity is critical.

Key Features

• 3.3V Operating Voltage: Optimized for low-voltage operation, reducing power consumption and allowing for integration with modern microcontrollers and processors that operate at lower voltages.
• High Drive: Capable of driving -32 mA in the high state and 64 mA in the low state, making it suitable for driving heavy loads.
• Bus Hold Data Inputs: Eliminates the need for external pull-up/pull-down resistors, simplifying design and reducing component count.
• Flow-Through Architecture: Facilitates easy PCB layout by enhancing signal integrity and reducing noise.
• Support for Live Insertion and Withdrawal: Can be inserted or removed from a live backplane without corrupting the data bus.

Applications

The SN74LVTH16240DL is ideal for a wide range of applications, including:

• Memory Drivers
• Buffer Drivers
• Input/Output Ports
• Backplane Drivers
• Data Communication Systems

Package and Quality

It comes in a 48-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) that offers a compact footprint for space-constrained applications. The device also meets or exceeds the specifications of the standard specifications for LVTH devices, ensuring reliable performance in a variety of conditions.

Environmental and Regulatory Compliance

The SN74LVTH16240DL complies with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) standards, ensuring that it is free from environmentally harmful substances. Additionally, it is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for industrial temperature ranges.
