SN64BCT240N

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN64BCT240N is an octal buffer and line driver belonging to the BCT logic series, manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features eight input lines and three-state outputs with inverting polarity. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports a propagation delay of 5 ns at 5 V. It utilizes a PDIP-20 package for through-hole mounting and functions reliably across an operating temperature range from 0°C to +70°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' corresponds to the PDIP-20 through-hole package variant when sourcing. Confirm that the BCT series designation aligns with required drive strength and speed specifications for the target application. Ensure compatibility with standard 5V logic levels and check RoHS compliance status via official documentation before procurement.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-speed octal buffering with inverting functionality. The BCT series offers improved performance over standard TTL while maintaining pin compatibility. Consider the PDIP-20 package constraints for PCB layout and thermal management within the specified industrial temperature range.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the SNx4BCT240 family of octal buffers and drivers. It shares functional similarities with other BCT series components but is distinct due to its inverting nature and specific packaging. It serves as a key interface component in digital systems requiring signal isolation and drive enhancement on bidirectional buses.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

SN64BCT244N is a non-inverting alternative within the same series. SN74BCT240DW offers the same function in a surface-mount SOIC-20 package. Verify logical polarity requirements before substituting with non-inverting variants.
