74LVC240APW,118

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The Nexperia 74LVC240APW,118 is an octal buffer and line driver featuring inverting logic with three-state outputs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.2 V to 3.6 V and supports inputs up to 5.5 V. The device includes IOFF circuitry for partial power-down protection. It utilizes a TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1) and functions across temperatures from -40 °C to +125 °C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Provides five-volt tolerant inputs and outputs for mixed voltage environments
• Includes IOFF circuitry to prevent damaging backflow current during partial power-down
• Features Schmitt-trigger action at all inputs to tolerate slower rise and fall times

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Translating signals between 3.3 V and 5 V logic levels
• Driving high-capacitance or transmission-line loads
• Clock distribution and buffering in general-purpose digital systems

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required package variant. Confirm that the intended application environment falls within the specified temperature and voltage limits. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed due to ESD sensitivity specifications. Review the latest datasheet revision for any updates to electrical characteristics before finalizing designs.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal inverting buffer with three-state capability is required. It is suitable for applications needing direct interface with TTL levels and wide supply voltage flexibility. Consider the TSSOP20 package constraints regarding thermal dissipation and board space requirements.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LVC240A family of octal buffers. The APW suffix specifically denotes the TSSOP20 plastic thin shrink small outline package with a body width of 4.4 mm. Other variants in the family include SO20 and DHVQFN20 packages.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same family include the 74LVC240AD (SO20 package) and 74LVC240ABQ (DHVQFN20 package). Verify package dimensions and thermal characteristics when substituting.
