The MM74HCT240N is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the HCT series of logic gates. It is an octal inverting buffer with 3-state outputs, meaning it can provide a high voltage signal as its output and also has the ability to float its output by turning off the output drivers.
The key features of the MM74HCT240N IC component are as follows:
1. Octal Buffer: The IC has 8 buffer gates, making it suitable for applications where multiple inputs and outputs need to be controlled.
2. Inverting Function: The IC performs the logic function of inverting the input signal at each buffer output. A high input results in a low output, and vice versa.
3. 3-State Outputs: The IC has 3-state outputs, which means that the buffer outputs can be actively driven high or low or can be left floating (disconnected from the output). This feature enables the component to be used in bus-oriented systems, where multiple devices can share the same data bus without interference.
4. High-Speed Operation: The MM74HCT240N operates at high-speed, making it suitable for applications that require fast switching.
5. TTL-Compatible: The IC is designed to be TTL-compatible, which means it can be directly interfaced with TTL logic circuits without the need for additional level shifting.
6. Wide Operating Voltage: The component operates with a wide voltage range, typically from 4
