The SN74ACT240PWLE is an octal inverting buffer/line driver from Texas Instruments, part of the 74ACT logic family. It operates from 4.5V to 5.5V, delivering 24mA output current per channel. The device features two groups of four inverting buffers with independent enable pins and 3-State outputs. Housed in a compact 20-pin TSSOP package, it is ideal for 5V TTL systems requiring high drive strength, such as microprocessor bus buffering, memory decoding, and industrial control. Its small footprint is perfect for space-constrained PCBs.

  • Compact TSSOP-20 Package: Saves PCB space compared to SOIC alternatives.
  • TTL-Compatible Inputs: Simplifies interfacing with 5V logic.
  • High 24mA Output Drive: Ensures reliable operation in high-load conditions.
  • 3-State Outputs: Enables bus sharing in multi-device systems.
  • Inverting Function: Reduces need for external inverters.

5V Microprocessor Bus Buffering

Buffer address/data lines between a 5V CPU and memory. The 24mA drive ensures signal integrity across the bus.

Inverting Line Drivers for Communication

Use in RS-232 or CAN transceiver interfaces where inverted signals are needed. The 3-State outputs allow multiple nodes.

Industrial Control Systems

Drive control signals in factory automation. The TTL-compatible inputs interface directly with 5V PLCs.

Memory Bank Selection

Generate active-low chip select signals using the inverting buffers. The high drive current can enable multiple memory chips.

Backplane Data Transmission

Drive data across a backplane in telecom equipment. The TSSOP package saves board space in dense designs.

Test and Measurement

Buffer and invert trigger signals in oscilloscopes. The fast propagation delay of 74ACT logic preserves timing accuracy.
