The CD74ACT240E is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the ACT family of devices. It is an octal buffer/line driver designed to provide high-speed, noninverting buffer functionality. The IC is widely used in various digital applications where data buffering or line driving is required. Here is an overview and key features of the CD74ACT240E:
1. Octal Buffer/Line Driver: The CD74ACT240E consists of eight separate noninverting buffer gates with three-state outputs. It can be used to buffer and drive eight lines in a digital system.
2. High-Speed Operation: This IC is designed to operate at high speeds, making it suitable for applications that require fast data transfer. The CD74ACT240E has a typical propagation delay of 6 ns, enabling quick data processing.
3. Three-State Outputs: The IC features three-state outputs, allowing the user to control the output state. This feature is useful when multiple devices need to share the same bus or line, as it enables the isolation of one device's output from others.
4. Wide Operating Voltage Range: The CD74ACT240E operates over a wide voltage range, from 4.5V to 5.5V. This flexibility in operating voltage makes it compatible with a variety of digital systems.
5. TTL-Compatible Inputs: The inputs of the IC are TTL-compatible, which means they can directly interface with TTL logic circuits
