What are the key features of SN74LVC240ANSRG4?

  • 8-channel inverting bus buffer with dual active-low 3-state enable
  • LVC-family CMOS logic operating from 1.65 V to 3.6 V supply
  • 24 mA output sink current with 50 pF load capacitance rating
  • 5 V tolerant inputs enable mixed 3.3 V and 5 V system interfacing
  • Two independent 4-channel enable groups for bus partitioning
  • 20-pin SOP tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly

What is SN74LVC240ANSRG4 used for?

The SN74LVC240ANSRG4 is used in low-voltage microprocessor and FPGA systems to drive and invert 8-bit data or address bus signals, providing electrical isolation between subsystems operating at 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V. Its 5 V-tolerant inputs allow direct connection to legacy 5 V TTL outputs without additional clamping, making it common in mixed-voltage board designs. It also serves in bus isolation, signal conditioning, and output port expansion in handheld consumer electronics and industrial controllers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the SN74LVC240ANSRG4 invert its outputs, and how are the two enable groups organized?

Yes, each of the 8 channels inverts its input, so a logic HIGH input produces a LOW output. The 8 channels are split into two groups of 4, each controlled by an independent active-low output enable pin. Both groups occupy the same 20-pin SOP package operating from 1.65 V to 3.6 V supply, allowing partial bus enable in systems where only half the channels need to be active simultaneously.

Can the SN74LVC240ANSRG4 interface 5 V TTL outputs into a 3.3 V logic system?

Yes, the device's inputs are 5 V tolerant, meaning they safely accept input voltages up to 5.5 V while the device itself operates from a 1.65 V to 3.6 V supply. This makes it a practical solution for mixed-voltage PCBs where legacy 5 V TTL or CMOS outputs must drive a 3.3 V bus without external clamping diodes or dedicated level translators.

What output drive current does each channel deliver and what is the maximum rated load capacitance?

Each output can sink 24 mA of current and drive bus loads with capacitances up to 50 pF while maintaining valid LVC-family logic levels. This performance allows the SN74LVC240ANSRG4 to drive multiple parallel gate inputs or long PCB traces at 3.3 V without additional buffering, covering typical fanout requirements in microprocessor address and data bus applications.

How does the SN74LVC240ANSRG4 compare to the SN74LVC244A for designs that do not require signal inversion?

The SN74LVC244A is a non-inverting equivalent in the same 20-pin package operating over the same 1.65 V to 3.6 V supply range with identical 24 mA drive and 50 pF load ratings. When the application requires signal inversion as part of the bus interface — for example, driving active-low chip-select lines — the SN74LVC240ANSRG4 integrates the inversion function, eliminating a separate inverter stage and reducing component count.
