The SN74LVTH16240DLG4 is an advanced high-speed 16-bit buffer and line driver integrated circuit (IC) component. It is part of the SN74LVTH series developed by Texas Instruments, designed for high-performance applications that require high-speed data transmission and buffering capabilities. Here are some key features and functions of the SN74LVTH16240DLG4:
1. 16-Bit Buffer and Line Driver: The IC provides 16 bidirectional buffers with three-state outputs, capable of driving highly capacitive loads with low output impedance. It acts as a voltage-level translator, ensuring efficient signal propagation between different voltage domains.
2. Voltage-Level Translation: The SN74LVTH16240DLG4 supports both a 5V signal input/output level and a 3.3V input/output level. This voltage-level translation functionality allows seamless interfacing between circuits operating at different voltage levels, eliminating the need for external level-shifting components.
3. High-Speed Operation: With a maximum propagation delay of 3.8 ns, the SN74LVTH16240DLG4 is engineered for high-speed data transmission applications. It can handle clock frequencies exceeding 200 MHz, making it suitable for modern digital systems requiring rapid data transfer.
4. 3-State Outputs: The IC features three-state outputs that allow individual output buffering control. This capability enables the connection of multiple devices to a common bus, with each device being selectively enabled or disabled to prevent bus contention
