The CD74HCT242E is an inverting transceiver from Harris Corporation, designed for 5V systems. It features 3-state outputs and operates from 4.5V to 5.5V. The 14-DIP package is ideal for through-hole assembly and prototyping. This IC is suitable for bus interfacing, TTL-to-CMOS conversion, and industrial control applications where signal inversion is required.

  • Inverting Function: Eliminates the need for external inverters in bus designs.
  • 3-State Outputs: Allows multiple devices to share a bus safely.
  • TTL-Compatible: Directly interfaces with 5V TTL logic.
  • DIP Package: Easy to use in breadboards and through-hole PCBs.

Inverting Bus Transceiver

Use the CD74HCT242E when signal inversion is required between two 5V buses, such as in legacy microprocessor systems.

TTL-to-CMOS Interfacing

Convert TTL logic levels to CMOS levels while inverting the signal, useful in mixed-logic designs.

Industrial Control Panels

In PLCs, this transceiver buffers and inverts control signals between a 5V controller and peripheral modules.

Prototyping and Breadboarding

The DIP package is ideal for through-hole prototyping, allowing easy insertion and removal in test circuits.

Memory Address Decoding

Use the inverting transceiver to generate active-low address lines for memory chips.

Audio Signal Routing

In vintage audio equipment, this IC can invert and buffer control signals for analog switches.
