Frequently Asked Questions
How many channels does the SN74AHCT240DBRE4 buffer, and what supply voltage does it require?
The SN74AHCT240DBRE4 provides 8 independent buffered output channels (octal) and operates from a supply voltage of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Its active-low enable inputs allow the outputs to be placed in a high-impedance 3-state mode for bus sharing across multiple drivers.
Which bus architectures benefit from using the SN74AHCT240DBRE4 as a line driver?
The SN74AHCT240DBRE4 is well suited for address and data bus buffering in 8-bit microcontroller systems, memory modules, and FPGA I/O expansion boards. Its 8 mA sink current and 3-state outputs support up to 8 devices sharing the same bus without contention at 5 V logic levels.
Is the SN74AHCT240DBRE4 compatible with CMOS and TTL input logic levels?
Yes, the AHCT logic family in the SN74AHCT240DBRE4 accepts CMOS-level inputs (VIH ≥ 3.15 V) while outputting standard TTL-compatible voltage levels at 5 V supply. This makes it a bridge device in mixed-logic designs combining 3.3 V CMOS outputs driving 5 V TTL buses, supporting signal translation across 8 lines.
What package does the SN74AHCT240DBRE4 use and how many pins does it have?
The SN74AHCT240DBRE4 is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, measuring approximately 12.8 mm × 7.5 mm. The SOIC-20 footprint is standard across AHCT-family octal buffers, allowing easy drop-in replacement with compatible 74AHCT240 devices.
