74VHCT240AFT

The 74VHCT240AFT is a member of a series of advanced high-speed BiCMOS integrated circuit device known as a /D-type Flip-Flops with an advanced provision of buffers or drivers. It belongs to the family of Logic Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, and Transceivers, providing advanced features that enable the device to be efficiently used in a variety of applications.

The 74VHCT240AFT is mainly used for free-running clock applications and can also provide clock synchronization for bus applications dependent on timing conditions. It is ideal for use when driving relatively low-impedance output devices or when providing additional hold time for high speed designs. It is particularly suited for driving moderate capacitive loads such as LCD panels, CRTs, and memory arrays.

The 74VHCT240AFT incorporates an RST signal along with eight synchronous data inputs and eight data outputs. The eight data inputs and outputs are connected internally to the outputs of an 8-bit shift register using the data signal as a control signal. Thus, the device can be used to perform various operations with the inputs delivered to the outputs after being processed by the circuit.

The 74VHCT240AFT includes all of the features of a typical 8-bit bi-directional D flip-flop comprising of an edge-triggered D-type flip-flop, an 8-bit register, and a RST input, which controls the outputs of the flip-flop and the register. The device also has a latch enable (LE) which keeps the data in the register while data is being shifted in. This helps increase the speed of operation as data can be shifted without the need to wait for the LE signal to be enabled.

In addition to its data input/output capabilities the 74VHCT240AFT can be used to control the logic levels at the outputs by using the /OE (output enable) pin. When /OE is high the output pins are held LOW and when /OE is Low the output pins are set HIGH and the data at the output is determined by the data signals.

The 74VHCT240AFT also features a clock enable (CE) input which, when active, forces the entire device to be reset and the outputs of the flip-flop and register to go to the logic level specified by the CE pin. This is useful in applications that require the outputs to be enabled or disabled periodically.

The 74VHCT240AFT worls on the same principle as any type of 8-bit bi-directional D flip-flop, which are designed to accept data in a specific order and then output the same data in the same order. The 74VHCT240AFT is capable of shifting data in both directions and can be used to provide additional hold time for high-speed designs, whereas other devices only allow the data to be shifted in one direction.

In conclusion the 74VHCT240AFT is an advanced high-speed BiCMOS integrated circuit device that is designed to provide clock synchronizations, hold times and data paths in applications that require fast data manipulation. This integrated circuit device is classified under the group of Logic Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, and Transceivers and includes several features that enable it to be efficiently used in a wide range of applications.
