CD74HC240M96

Overview

The CD74HC240M96 is a high-speed CMOS octal buffer and line driver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features three-state outputs and operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V. The device is housed in a surface-mount SOIC package with 20 pins. It supports an operating temperature range from -55 °C to +125 °C. The logic series is HC, providing non-inverting functionality for signal buffering and driving applications.

Feature Summary

• Octal buffer configuration with three-state outputs
• High-speed CMOS technology for efficient operation
• Wide supply voltage compatibility from 2 V to 6 V
• Extended industrial temperature range support

Applications

• Signal buffering in digital systems
• Line driving for data transmission
• Interface between different logic families
• Memory address and data bus drivers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix M96 against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package dimensions and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required moisture sensitivity level and RoHS compliance status for your manufacturing process. Cross-reference the distributor's stock status with the official lead time provided by Texas Instruments to avoid production delays.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal buffer with three-state control is required for high-speed digital interfaces. The HC series offers compatibility with standard CMOS logic levels. Consider the 20-pin SOIC package constraints for PCB layout. Verify that the input voltage levels match the system's logic thresholds and that the output drive capability meets the load requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments CD74HCxx family of high-speed CMOS logic devices. It is functionally similar to other octal buffers like the CD74HC244 but may differ in pinout or specific electrical characteristics. The M96 suffix typically denotes a specific tape-and-reel packaging option for automated assembly.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct replacements such as CD74HC244 if pinout compatibility allows. Verify functional equivalence with other octal three-state buffers from the same logic family. Ensure any substitute maintains the same voltage range and package type.
