The SN74AHCT240PWE4 is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the SN74AHCT series of high-speed CMOS logic devices manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is an octal buffer and line driver, which is widely used in various digital applications.
Key Features:
1. High-Speed Operation: The SN74AHCT240PWE4 is specifically designed for high-performance applications, providing fast propagation delays and output transition times. It operates at a maximum speed of 4.5 nanoseconds (ns) tpd (typical) and 9 nanoseconds (ns) tpd (maximum).
2. 3-State Outputs: This IC supports 3-state outputs, which allow the individual outputs to be in one of three possible states: high (logic 1), low (logic 0), or high impedance. This feature enables multiple devices to be connected to a common data bus, improving system efficiency and reducing conflicts.
3. Octal Buffer/Line Driver: The SN74AHCT240PWE4 contains eight independent buffer and line driver channels. Each channel has an input and output, making it suitable for applications where multiple signals need to be buffered or transmitted.
4. Wide Voltage Compatibility: It is designed to operate with a wide range of supply voltages from 4.5V to 5.5V, making it compatible with most digital systems and power sources
