description
The CD74FCT240 is an octal buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, using a small-geometry BiCMOS
technology. The output stages are a combination of bipolar and CMOS transistors that limit the output high level
to two diode drops below V
CC
. This resultant lowering of output swing (0 V to 3.7 V) reduces power-bus ringing
[a source of electromagnetic interference (EMI)] and minimizes V
CC
bounce and ground bounce and their
effects during simultaneous output switching. The output configuration also enhances switching speed and is
capable of sinking 64 mA.
The CD74FCT240 is organized as two 4-bit buffers/line drivers with separate active-low output-enable (OE
)
inputs. When OE
is low, the device passes data from the A inputs to the Y outputs. When OE is high, the outputs
are in the high-impedance state.
To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, OE
should be tied to V
CC
through a pullup
resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.
The CD74FCT240 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.
