Operating Voltage Range

The 74FCT240CTSOG device can operate from 2.3V to 5.5V. All inputs and outputs must have the same logic level to ensure optimum noise immunity from the system.

Working Principle

The 74FCT240CTSOG is an eight-bit buffer circuit with a non-inverting output. The device is configured either as a two-state device or as a three-state device. When configured as a two-state device, the outputs are active and depending on the level of the inputs, the outputs are either enabled or disabled. When configured as a three-state device, the output is in a high-impedance state depending on the level of the enable input. The high impedance input allows multiple devices to be interconnected using a single logic signal. When the enable input is low, all outputs are in the active state depending on the level of the inputs.
