74LVTH240MSAX

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74LVTH240MSAX is an octal buffer and line driver featuring three-state outputs. Designed for low-voltage applications, it operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V. The device incorporates bushold data inputs, which eliminate the need for external pull-up resistors to maintain unused input states. It provides interface capability to systems operating at 5V VCC while maintaining compatibility with LVTTL logic levels.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Octal buffer and line driver configuration with three-state outputs
• Bushold data inputs prevent floating states without external components
• Compatible with 5V VCC system interfaces despite low-voltage operation
• Supports live insertion and extraction with glitch-free bus loading

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Memory address drivers
• Clock drivers
• Bus oriented transmitters or receivers

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'X' against official datasheets to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors. Ensure the component matches the exact manufacturer part number to avoid functional discrepancies in low-voltage logic designs.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring octal buffering with high-density PCB layouts. It is suitable for applications needing direct interfacing between 3.3V logic and 5V tolerant environments. Consider the bushold feature if minimizing external passive components is a priority for the circuit design.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LVTH series, representing low-voltage CMOS technology with TTL-compatible inputs. It is functionally similar to other octal buffers like the 74LVTH244 but includes bushhold capabilities. The MSAX designation indicates a surface-mount package variant manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The 74LVTH244MSA is a functionally compatible alternative from the same manufacturer family. Verify that the replacement supports the required bushold feature if present in the original design.
