74LVTH16240MEAX

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The onsemi 74LVTH16240MEAX is a low-voltage 16-bit inverting buffer and line driver featuring 3-STATE outputs. It utilizes advanced BiCMOS technology for high-speed operation with low power dissipation, supporting a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V. The device provides TTL interface capability to 5V environments and includes bushold data inputs to eliminate external pull-up resistors for unused lines. Packaged in a 48-lead SSOP (MS48A), it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Bushold data inputs prevent floating states without external components
• Compatible with 5V systems despite low-voltage operation
• Glitch-free bus loading during power transitions
• Nibble-controlled 3-STATE output enable

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

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

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'X' indicates tape and reel packaging configuration. Confirm the manufacturer origin as Fairchild Semiconductor or onsemi depending on current corporate status. Ensure the SSOP package matches the MS48A designation for physical compatibility.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing 3.3V logic with 5V systems requiring inverting buffering. The bushold feature simplifies design by removing pull-up requirements. Verify that the 48-lead SSOP footprint fits the target PCB layout constraints.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LVT/LVTH logic family, designed for low-voltage applications. It functions similarly to standard 5V ABT series devices but maintains lower power consumption. The LVTH variant specifically adds bushold functionality compared to the standard LVT version.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The 74LVT16240MEA serves as a functional substitute lacking bushold inputs. Other nibble-controlled 16-bit buffers from compatible logic families may be considered if pinout and electrical characteristics align.
