Overview
Description
The SN74LVC240APWR is an 8‑bit, non‑inverting buffer/line driver with two 4‑bit banks and 3‑state outputs. Inputs A0–A7 feed outputs Y0–Y7; each bank is enabled by its own output-enable pin (OE1 for Y0–Y3, OE2 for Y4–Y7). When an OE is asserted, the corresponding outputs follow inputs; when deasserted, those outputs are high impedance, allowing bus sharing. It’s part of TI’s LVC family and operates from a single 1.65–3.6 V supply with CMOS/TTL-compatible inputs. Typical uses include buffering and level-shifting signals between microcontrollers, memories, and peripherals, or isolating buses in multi-device systems. Packaging is the Pb‑free, RoHS-compliant 20‑pin version (APWR suffix) in standard TI small-outline packages. For exact drive strength, propagation delay, and available packages, see the data sheet.

Pinout
Pin count: 20 pins.
Function: SN74LVC240APWR is an octal buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs. It provides eight non-inverting buffers (A1–A8 to Y1–Y8) with two active-low output-enable inputs (OE1 and OE2). When enables are low, outputs follow inputs; when high, outputs are high-impedance. Suitable for low-voltage CMOS operation (Vcc 1.65–3.6 V).

Application
SN74LVC240APWR is an 8-bit buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs (OE). Typical applications:
- Buffering/busing between microprocessors/MCUs, memory, and peripherals.
- Bus sharing with tri-state control to prevent contention.
- Level shifting/interface between different logic-voltage domains (e.g., 1.65–3.3 V).
- Signal integrity and fan-out reduction on data/address lines and backplanes.
- High-speed I/O buffering where clean edges and controlled drive are needed.
It’s suited for general-purpose data buffering and bus-driving in mixed-voltage digital systems.
