DM74S240 DM74S241 DM74S244
Octal 3-STATE Buffer/Line Driver/Line Receiver
General Description
These buffers/line drivers are designed to improve both the
performance and PC board density of 3-STATE buffers/
drivers employed as memory-address drivers, clock driv-
ers, and bus-oriented transmitters/receivers. Featuring 400
mV of hysteresis at each low current PNP data line input,
they provi de improve d nois e re jection and h igh fanout out-
puts, and can be used to drive terminated lines down to
133.
Features
3-STATE outputs drive bus lines directly
PNP inputs redu ce DC loading on bus l ines
Hysteresis at data inputs improves noise margins
Typical IOL (sink current) 64 mA
Typical IOH (source current) 15 mA
Typical propagation delay times
Inverting 4.5 ns
Noninverting 6 ns
Typical enable/disable times 9 ns
Typical power dissipation (enabled)
Inverting 450 mW
Noninverting 538 mW
