The SN74F240N is a high-speed octal buffer and line driver integrated circuit. It is a member of the F series of TTL logic ICs, manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is available in PDIP, SOIC, SSOP, and TSSOP packages.

The SN74F240N is a versatile integrated circuit that can be used as a buffer, line driver, receiver, or transceiver. It has an 8-bit wide data bus with two separate sets of control inputs, enabling the device to function as a two-way bus buffer. The SN74F240N is used in a wide variety of applications, including communications, data acquisition, and control systems.

Application Field

The SN74F240N is a high-speed octal buffer and line driver, designed to drive and buffer 8-bit data or address buses. It can also be used as a transceiver to receive and transmit asynchronous serial data. It is used primarily in computers and peripherals, digital and audio/video equipment, and process control device. A few example applications include:

• Computer memory controller and data buses
• Serial data transmission and recovery
• Bus interface lines in process control and factory automation systems
• High-speed data communications systems
• Digital audio/video systems
• Industrial test equipment and medical instrumentation

Working Principle

The SN74F240N is an 8-bit Line Driver, Receiver and Transceiver. It has two separate sets of input/output connections, one set for data and the other set for control. Each set is buffered independently. The data bus has a total of sixteen pins; eight for input and eight for output. The control bus has four pin pairs; two for input and two for output. Each of the data pins has an associated output enable (OE) pin. When the OE is high, the input is passed through to the corresponding output. When it is low, the output is set to since the output is disabled.

The SN74F240N functions as a logical AND gate. The output of the AND gate is determined by the logical states of its inputs. When both inputs of the AND gate are high, the output is high. When either or both inputs are low, the output is low. This allows data to be passed through to the outputs only when certain control signals are present. The line driver portion of the SN74F240N provides a higher output current than other line receiver ICs, which allows it to drive multiple TTL loads in addition to long cables and bus lines.

The receiver portion of the SN74F240N allows signals to be received into one set of pins while being transmitted out of the other. This allows complex logic to be built up around the SN74F240N. It can be used as a bidirectional switch, allowing data to be transmitted from one source to multiple destinations. This scheme can also be used for multiplexing data over a single bus.

The transceiver portion of the SN74F240N is used for serial data transmission and recovery. Two sets of pins are used for serial input/output. The SN74F240N can operate as either a transmission or a receiver, depending on the logic level of the enable pin. When the enable pin is high, the device is in transreceive mode, allowing 8-bit data to be both sent and received. When the enable pin is low, the device is in receive-only mode, or tristate mode. The SN74F240N is ideal for applications that require the transfer of data over a long distance, as it can provide just the right amount of current to preserve the signal integrity of the data.

The SN74F240N is an incredibly versatile integrated circuit, finding use in a wide variety of applications. Its ability to function as a line driver, receiver, and transceiver makes it an invaluable tool in the design of communications and control systems. By working in tandem with other logic devices, the SN74F240N can be used to build complex logic circuits that require fewer devices and less wiring.
