Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SN74LS640NE4 and what does it do?
The SN74LS640NE4 is an 8-channel inverting bidirectional bus transceiver from Texas Instruments. It transfers data between two buses in either direction using a direction control pin, with three-state outputs that allow multiple devices to share a common data bus without signal contention.
What package does the SN74LS640NE4 come in?
The SN74LS640NE4 is housed in a 20-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-Line Package) through-hole package, which is well suited for prototyping, repair work, and industrial applications where through-hole soldering is preferred over surface-mount assembly.
What is the maximum output sink current of the SN74LS640NE4?
The SN74LS640NE4 has a maximum output low current (IOL) of 24mA per channel, providing sufficient sink capability to drive standard TTL loads and moderate capacitive bus lines in backplane and embedded system designs.
Is the SN74LS640NE4 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the SN74LS640NE4 carries the JESD-609 e4 code indicating it is a lead-free, RoHS-compliant device, making it suitable for use in modern electronics manufacturing environments that require halogen-free and environmentally responsible components.
Can the SN74LS640NE4 replace other octal bus transceiver ICs?
The SN74LS640NE4 is functionally equivalent to the industry-standard 74LS640 octal inverting transceiver and can be used as a drop-in replacement for compatible parts from other LS-family manufacturers, provided the voltage supply and logic level specifications match the application requirements.
