What are the key features of HD74LS240P?
- Octal 3-state inverting outputs drive 8 data lines simultaneously, ideal for bus expansion circuits
- Two independent 4-bit output-enable controls allow flexible multiplexing of 74LS logic buses
- TTL-compatible 5 V operation with 24 mA sink current supports direct backplane bus driving
What is HD74LS240P used for?
HD74LS240P is widely used as a bus driver and address demultiplexer in legacy 5 V TTL digital systems, including memory interfaces, microprocessor data buses, and industrial controller backplanes. Its inverted 3-state outputs make it suitable for driving long PCB traces where signal reflection must be minimized with matched termination. The 20-pin DIP format simplifies prototyping and through-hole board assembly in retrofit or repair projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many output channels does the HD74LS240P provide, and what is the maximum sink current per output?
HD74LS240P provides 8 inverting 3-state output channels organized as two 4-bit groups. Each output can sink up to 24 mA in the LOW state, making it capable of driving TTL and LSTTL loads directly on a 5 V bus without external buffers.
How does the dual output-enable structure of HD74LS240P simplify bidirectional bus designs?
HD74LS240P has two separate active-LOW output-enable pins, each controlling a 4-bit group of outputs. This lets a designer independently enable or tri-state each nibble, so a 74LS240 and a 74LS244 can share the same 8-bit bus with minimal glue logic, reducing component count by at least 1 extra gate IC.
In what legacy system scenarios is the 20-pin DIP package of HD74LS240P still the preferred choice over SOIC variants?
The 20-pin DIP package is preferred for through-hole prototyping boards, ZIF-socket test fixtures, and field repair of older industrial PLCs or S-100 bus systems. DIP parts can be inserted and removed without soldering, saving significant rework time when debugging address decode logic running at 5 V TTL levels.
What propagation delay and supply voltage does the HD74LS240P require, and how does that compare to AHCT240 alternatives?
HD74LS240P operates from a 5 V supply with a typical propagation delay of approximately 9 ns. The AHCT240 alternative operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V and achieves roughly 5 ns propagation delay, so AHCT240 is faster, but HD74LS240P fits directly in existing 74LS footprints without redesign when timing margins exceed 9 ns.
