Supplier Device Package 20-SOIC

The 74FCT240SC from National Semiconductor is an inverting buffer in the 74FCT logic family. It features 2 channels with 3-State outputs, operating from 4.75V to 5.25V. With a sink current of 64mA and source current of 15mA, it is ideal for high-current applications. The 20-SOIC package is suitable for standard PCB layouts. Common uses include bus buffering, LED driving, and memory isolation.

  • High Sink Current (64mA): Drives heavy loads like LEDs and long cables.
  • Inverting Function: Provides signal inversion without additional logic gates.
  • 3-State Outputs: Enables bus sharing and multiplexing.
  • 74FCT Speed: Fast propagation delay for high-performance systems.

High-Current LED Driving

Drive LED arrays directly with the 64mA sink capability. The inverting function allows active-low control, simplifying logic design.

Bus Line Buffering

Buffer bidirectional bus lines in 5V systems. The 3-State outputs enable multiple devices to connect without signal conflicts.

Memory Data Bus Isolation

Isolate memory data buses during read/write cycles. The high sink current ensures fast discharge of capacitive loads.

Peripheral Device Control

Control peripheral devices with inverted logic signals. The 74FCT family provides low propagation delay for time-critical applications.

Telecom Line Interface

Interface telecom lines requiring inverted signal buffering. The robust output stage handles line capacitance effectively.

Industrial Sensor Interfacing

Buffer sensor signals in industrial environments. The 3-State output allows multiplexing multiple sensors to a single ADC.
