74F540SCX

The 74F540SCX chip is a member of the F540SC series devices manufactured by ON Semiconductor. It is a low-power versatile and high-speed CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) logic device. It is designed to be general-purpose logic buffer with a logic level converter, providing multiple ports between two logic families. The output level of the 74F540SCX is LVCMOS and the input is either LVTTL or LVCMOS.

Application Field of 74F540SCX

This chip is widely used in telecommunication, personal computer, instruments and other fields. For example, it can be used for interface cards, bus repeaters for networks, personal data assistants, and time-stamp and delay logic modules, etc.

Working Principle of 74F540SCX

The main circuit of the chip is Retaining type logic level converter, which consists of an inverter, a transmission gate and a resistor. The transmission gate allows the signal outputs and inputs to pass through to form an inverted output at the output port. The resistor functions as a pull-up device for the output port. The inverter also serves as the output of the transistor drive. The 74F540SCX chip works by enabling the transmission gate to pass the input signal through the logic level converter and transmitting a signal of the corresponding logic level at the output. The signal is inverted by the inverter and amplified by the transistor drive.
