Product details
Overview
74AHC240D,118 from NXP Semiconductors is an 8-bit inverting buffer/line driver with dual 3-state outputs and CMOS-level input compatibility. It operates across 2.0 V to 5.5 V supply, supports −40 °C to +125 °C ambient range, features Schmitt-trigger inputs, overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 7.0 V, and delivers propagation delays as low as 2.8 ns (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, CL = 15 pF). It is used in bidirectional bus interfacing and voltage-level translation between mixed-supply subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHC240D,118 datasheet, 74AHC240D,118 pinout, 74AHC240D,118 application, or 74AHC240D,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual independent output-enable control (1OE/2OE), 20-pin SO20 package with 7.5 mm body width, guaranteed operation at extended temperature, and compatibility with both 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level-shifting circuitry.
Technical Context
The 74AHC240D,118 implements two independent 4-bit inverting buffer sections, each controlled by a dedicated active-low output enable (1OE for Y0–Y3, 2OE for Y0'–Y3'). Its Schmitt-trigger inputs provide noise immunity on slow-rising signals, while overvoltage tolerance (VI up to 7.0 V) enables safe interfacing with higher-voltage buses. The device uses standard CMOS input thresholds (VIH = 3.85 V min at VCC = 5.5 V).
It exhibits balanced propagation delays (tpd ≤ 7.5 ns at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V, CL = 15 pF), fast enable/disable timing (ten ≤ 12.5 ns, tdis ≤ 18.1 ns under same conditions), and low static current (ICC ≤ 80 µA at VCC = 5.5 V, −40 °C to +125 °C). All inputs and outputs are ESD-protected per HBM (>2000 V) and CDM (>1000 V) standards.
Key Specifications

The 74AHC240D,118 supports an absolute maximum input voltage of +7.0 V, independent of VCC. This overvoltage tolerance allows safe connection to 5 V buses even when the device is powered from 3.3 V, eliminating the need for external clamping diodes or level shifters in mixed-voltage interfaces.
Does 74AHC240D,118 support operation at 3.3 V supply?
Yes, 74AHC240D,118 is fully specified for operation at 3.3 V (VCC = 3.0–3.6 V). At this supply, it delivers typical propagation delay of 3.9 ns (CL = 15 pF), VOH ≥ 2.9 V, VOL ≤ 0.1 V, and supports input thresholds compatible with 3.3 V CMOS logic, making it ideal for modern low-voltage embedded systems.
How does the dual output-enable feature of 74AHC240D,118 improve system design?
The 74AHC240D,118 provides two independent active-low output enables (1OE and 2OE), each controlling four outputs. This allows selective disabling of one 4-bit buffer group while keeping the other active-enabling time-multiplexed bus access, reduced power during idle periods, and simplified arbitration logic without requiring additional control ICs.
What package type is used for 74AHC240D,118?
The 74AHC240D,118 is supplied in a plastic small outline package (SO20) with 20 leads and 7.5 mm body width (SOT163-1).
