SN74HC240N

The SN74HC240N is a high-speed octal inverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, manufactured by a leading semiconductor company. This device is designed to provide signal buffering and line driving capabilities, with the ability to invert the logic state of the input signals.

The SN74HC240N features eight independent buffers, each capable of driving high and low logic levels. The 3-state outputs are controlled by two output enable inputs (1OE and 2OE), allowing the outputs to be placed in a high-impedance off-state when not in use. This feature helps to prevent bus contention and allows for multiple devices to share the same bus without interference.

The SN74HC240N is pin-compatible with other devices in the 74HC series, making it easy to integrate into existing circuits. It operates with a low power consumption and is suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including digital systems, microprocessors, and memory interfaces.

The device is specified in compliance with JEDEC standard no. 7A and offers fast propagation delays, making it suitable for high-speed digital circuits. It also features ESD protection to help protect the IC from damage due to static discharge.

In summary, the SN74HC240N is a versatile octal inverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs that offers high-speed operation, low power consumption, and easy integration into existing circuits. Its ability to invert input signals and control the output state makes it a suitable choice for a wide range of digital applications.
