SN74LVT240APWG4

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74LVT240APWG4 is an octal buffer and line driver from the Texas Instruments LVT logic series. It features eight inputs and eight outputs with three-state capability, housed in a TSSOP-20 package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V. It provides high drive strength with a low-level output current of 64 mA and a high-level output current of -32 mA. Propagation delay is specified at 2.6 ns at 3.3 V. The component supports surface-mount installation and functions across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PWG4' corresponds to the TSSOP-20 package and lead-free RoHS compliance status required for your assembly process. Confirm that the operating voltage requirements align with your system's 3.3V logic levels. Ensure thermal management strategies are adequate for the TSSOP-20 form factor under maximum load conditions.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal buffer with three-state control is needed for 3.3V applications. It serves as a direct replacement for standard LVT240 devices in TSSOP packages. Consider the 64 mA sink capability for driving heavy capacitive loads or long traces on PCBs.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74LVT240A family of octal buffers and line drivers. The 'P' indicates the TSSOP package style, while 'W' denotes tape and reel packaging. The 'G4' suffix signifies lead-free construction and compliance with RoHS directives, distinguishing it from older non-compliant variants.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers FAQ

What is the propagation delay of the SN74LVT240APWG4?

The propagation delay is typically 2.6 ns when operating at a 3.3 V supply voltage.

Does this device support bidirectional data transfer?

No, the SN74LVT240A is a unidirectional buffer. Bidirectional transfer requires a different component such as the SN74LVC245.
