Frequently Asked Questions
How many channels does the SN74AHC240NSRE4 provide, and what is the output sink current per channel?
The SN74AHC240NSRE4 provides 8 buffered output channels, each capable of sinking 8 mA at a load capacitance of 50 pF. This drive strength makes it suitable for bus driving applications in 2 V to 5.5 V systems including automotive and industrial designs.
Can SN74AHC240NSRE4 be used in a 3.3 V microcontroller system interfacing with 5 V bus logic?
Yes, the AHC family input thresholds accept signals from 2 V to 5.5 V supplies, so SN74AHC240NSRE4 can buffer 3.3 V controller outputs onto a 5 V bus. The 3-state outputs allow bus sharing with other drivers through the active-low enable pin.
What package does SN74AHC240NSRE4 use, and how many pins does it have?
The device is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (Small Outline IC) surface-mount package with a standard 1.27 mm pitch, suitable for automated PCB assembly. Its compact form factor fits tight board layouts in automotive modules and industrial controllers.
When would a designer select SN74AHC240NSRE4 over a non-inverting buffer like SN74AHC244?
A designer selects SN74AHC240NSRE4 when signal polarity inversion is needed alongside 3-state bus control, for example in address decoding paths where active-low chip-select signals must drive 8 lines simultaneously at 8 mA per output without loading the microcontroller.
Is SN74AHC240NSRE4 qualified for automotive use, and what operating temperature range does it support?
Yes, the E4 suffix indicates AEC-Q100 automotive grade qualification with a -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. This makes it reliable for under-dash wiring harness controllers, body control modules, and other automotive environments with thermal variation.
