74LVT16240MEAX

Overview

The onsemi 74LVT16240MEAX is a low-voltage 16-bit inverting buffer and line driver featuring 3-STATE outputs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V, supporting TTL interface compatibility with 5V systems. The device utilizes advanced BiCMOS technology for high-speed operation while maintaining low power dissipation. Key electrical parameters include a propagation delay of up to 4.2ns at 2.7V and 3.5ns at 3.3V. Output drive capabilities reach 64mA in the low state and -32mA in the high state. It is housed in a 48-lead Small Shrink Outline Package (SSOP) and functions as a memory, address, or clock driver.

Feature Summary

• Nibble-controlled architecture allowing independent 4-bit control or combined 16-bit operation via shorted enable pins
• Power-up/down high-impedance state ensures glitch-free bus loading during system transitions
• Live insertion and extraction permitted without damaging the device or connected circuitry
• ESD protection rated at 2000V human-body model and 1000V charged-device model

Applications

• Memory and address drivers
• Clock signal distribution
• Bus-oriented transmitter/receiver circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix against the manufacturer's current documentation to confirm package type and tape-and-reel availability. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material composition details through official datasheets or compliance documents before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-bit inverting buffer with 3-STATE outputs is required for low-voltage logic applications. Ensure the design accommodates the 2.7V to 3.6V operating range and requires nibble-level control granularity. Verify that the SSOP-48 package dimensions fit the target PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the LVT logic family, designed for low-voltage digital systems. It serves as a functional equivalent to standard 5V logic buffers but optimized for 3.3V environments. The device provides high drive strength suitable for driving multiple loads or long traces in bus architectures.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives such as the LVTH16240 variant if bushold input functionality is required instead of standard inputs.
