8-ch, 4.5V to 5.5V inverters with TTL-compatible CMOS inputs and 3-state outputs

These octal buffers

and line drivers are designed specifically to improve both

the performance and density of 3-state memory address

drivers, clock drivers, and bus-oriented receivers and

transmitters. The ’HCT240 devices are organized as two 4-bit

buffers/drivers with separate output-enable

(OE) inputs. When

OE is low, the device passes

inverted data from the A inputs to the Y outputs. When

OE is high, the outputs are

in the high-impedance state.
