Supplier Device Package 20-SSOP

The SN74LS640DB is an 8-bit inverting transceiver from the 74LS family, featuring 3-state outputs. It operates from 4.75V to 5.25V, with 15mA sink and 24mA source current. This device is designed for bidirectional bus communication in 5V TTL systems, offering reliable signal buffering. The 20-SSOP package is compact for various applications. Typical uses include microprocessor buffering, industrial controls, and memory expansion.

  • Low-Power Schottky (74LS): Consumes less power than standard TTL, reducing heat.
  • 3-State Outputs: Enables bus multiplexing and safe disconnection.
  • TTL-Compatible: Works directly with 5V TTL logic without level shifting.
  • Inverting Function: Provides signal inversion where required, saving external gates.
