SN74LVTH16240DLG4 - 3.3-V ABT 16-Bit Buffers/Drivers With 3-State Outputs

The SN74LVTH16240DLG4 is a high-performance, 16-bit buffer/driver designed by Texas Instruments, which is part of their LVTH (Low-Voltage BiCMOS Technology with TTL-Compatible Inputs) family. This integrated circuit is engineered to provide high-speed operation while maintaining the low power dissipation of CMOS technology. The device operates at a 3.3V V_CC but has 5V tolerant inputs, which makes it suitable for interfacing with 5V systems, thus providing a bridge between different voltage domains.

Featuring 16-bit non-inverting buffers/drivers with 3-state outputs, the SN74LVTH16240DLG4 can be employed in a wide range of applications, including driving bus lines or buffer memory address registers. Its 3-state outputs allow for connection to a bus-oriented system without the need for external pull-up resistors, as they can be placed in a high impedance state. This is particularly useful in multiplexed bus applications where output contention may occur.

The device's outputs, which are designed to sink significant current and drive capacitive loads, are optimized for low-voltage operation, making the SN74LVTH16240DLG4 an excellent choice for power-sensitive applications. The balanced output drive with current limiting resistors makes it ideal for transmission lines, as it reduces the effects of signal reflection on high-speed data paths.

With its wide operating temperature range, the SN74LVTH16240DLG4 is suitable for industrial applications. The device comes in a 48-pin plastic thin small-outline package (DL package), which is designed for surface mounting, saving precious board space in dense circuit designs.

Key features of the SN74LVTH16240DLG4 include:

• 16-bit non-inverting bus transceiver with 3-state outputs
• 3.3V operation with 5V tolerant inputs
• Support for mixed-mode signal operation
• Output sink capability of 64 mA, source capability of 32 mA
• Low power consumption
• Control inputs VIH/VIL levels are out of the VCC range for TTL compatibility
• Robust design for high-speed data transmission
• Wide operating temperature range

The SN74LVTH16240DLG4 is a versatile and reliable component for designers looking to create high-speed digital systems that require low power and the ability to interface with various logic levels.
