description/ordering information
These octal buffers/drivers are designed
specifically for low-voltage (3.3-V) VCC operation,
but with the capability to provide a TTL interface
to a 5-V system environment.
The ’LVTH540 devices are ideal for driving bus
lines or buffer-memory address registers. These
devices feature inputs and outputs on opposite
sides of the package that facilitate printed circuit
board layout.

description/ordering information (continued)
The 3-state control gate is a 2-input AND gate with active-low inputs so that, if either output-enable (OE1 or OE2)
input is high, all outputs are in the high-impedance state.
Active bus-hold circuitry holds unused or undriven inputs at a valid logic state. Use of pullup or pulldown resistors
with the bus-hold circuitry is not recommended.
When V CC is between 0 and 1.5 V, the devices are in the high-impedance state during power up or power down.
However, to ensure the high-impedance state above 1.5 V, OE should be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor;
the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.
These devices are fully specified for hot-insertion applications using Ioff and power-up 3-state. The Ioff circuitry
disables the outputs, preventing damaging current backflow through the devices when they are powered down.
The power-up 3-state circuitry places the outputs in the high-impedance state during power up and power down,
which prevents driver conflict.

†Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTES: 1. The input and output negative-voltage ratings may be exceeded if the input and output clamp-current ratings are observed.
2. This current flows only when the output is in the high state and VO > VCC.
3. The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51-7.
