Texas Instruments SN54F240 Octal Buffers/Drivers With 3-State Outputs 5962-9758501QRA

The SN54F240 is an octal buffer/driver with 3-state outputs designed for high-performance applications, particularly in memory address driving and bus-oriented systems. It features two 4-bit buffers with separate output enable (OE) inputs, allowing for flexible data management. When the OE input is low, data from the A inputs is passed to the Y outputs; when high, the outputs enter a high-impedance state. This device operates over a military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, making it suitable for demanding environments. The SN54F240 is available in various package options, including a 20-pin Ceramic Dual In-line Package (CDIP), which is ideal for applications requiring robust performance and reliability. The device supports a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and can drive significant output currents, with a maximum of 96 mA in the low state. Engineers considering this product should note its compatibility with other Texas Instruments buffers/drivers, such as the SN54F241 and SN54F244, for applications requiring a combination of inverting and non-inverting outputs.
