Product details
Overview
74HCT240PW,112 from Nexperia is an octal inverting 3-state buffer/line driver in TSSOP20 package, operating from 4.5 V to 5.5 V with TTL-compatible inputs, 11 ns typical propagation delay at 4.5 V, and ±6 mA output drive-used for bidirectional bus isolation and address/data buffering in industrial microcontroller interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT240PW,112 datasheet, 74HCT240PW,112 pinout, 74HCT240PW,112 application, or 74HCT240PW,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-level input compatibility, dual independent 4-bit 3-state control (1OE/2OE), guaranteed operation from −40 °C to +125 °C, and low dynamic power dissipation (CPD = 30 pF per buffer).
Technical Context
The 74HCT240PW,112 implements two independent 4-bit inverting buffer sections, each controlled by a dedicated active-low output enable (1OE, 2OE). Its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 5 V) ensure seamless interfacing with legacy 5 V logic families.
Each output delivers rail-to-rail switching with defined VOH ≥ 3.98 V and VOL ≤ 0.26 V at IO = ±6 mA, and transitions into high-impedance state within 13 ns (ten) and out of it within 13 ns (tdis) under 4.5 V supply-enabling fast, glitch-free bus sharing in multiplexed memory or peripheral interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - supports standard 5 V TTL systems without level-shifting. |
| Input Logic Type | TTL-compatible - VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 5 V; eliminates need for external voltage translation. |
| Propagation Delay | 9 ns (typ) at VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF - enables reliable operation in 50 MHz+ address/data strobe timing windows. |
| Output Drive | ±6 mA - sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines or 10 LSTTL loads directly. |
| 3-State Enable/Disable | ten = 13 ns, tdis = 13 ns (max) at VCC = 4.5 V - ensures clean bus arbitration with minimal contention window. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended industrial and under-hood automotive auxiliary applications. |
| Power Dissipation Cap | CPD = 30 pF per buffer - allows accurate dynamic power estimation: PD = 30 × VCC² × fi × 8 + Σ(CL × VCC² × fo). |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1): 20-pin thin shrink small outline, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad not electrically connected - optimized for high-density PCB layouts with moderate thermal dissipation (Ptot = 500 mW, derates 10.0 mW/K above 100 °C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output enables - independently disable Group 1 (pins 12,14,16,18) or Group 2 (pins 3,5,7,9) outputs. |
| 2,4,6,8 | 1A0–1A3 | Inverting data inputs for first 4-bit section - drive corresponding 1Yn outputs with polarity inversion. |
| 18,16,14,12 | 1Y0–1Y3 | Inverting 3-state outputs for first group - high-impedance when 1OE = HIGH; otherwise Yn = NOT(An). |
| 17,15,13,11 | 2A0–2A3 | Inverting data inputs for second 4-bit section - functionally identical to 1A0–1A3 but controlled by 2OE. |
| 3,5,7,9 | 2Y0–2Y3 | Inverting 3-state outputs for second group - isolated bus segment control with independent enable timing. |
| 10 | GND | Digital ground reference - must be low-impedance connection to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply - bypass with 100 nF ceramic capacitor near pin to suppress supply transients. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 5 V - interoperable with 74LS, 74F, and microcontroller GPIOs without pull-ups or translators. |
| Dual independent 3-state control | Separate 1OE and 2OE pins - enables time-multiplexed access to two distinct 4-bit buses (e.g., address vs. data) on shared traces. |
| High noise immunity | Typical HNM = 0.8 V at VCC = 5 V - rejects >400 mV of coupled noise on input lines in noisy industrial environments. |
| ESD robustness | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - withstands handling and board-level ESD events without latch-up or parameter shift. |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from −40 °C to +125 °C - validated for use in motor drives, PLC I/O modules, and power supply monitoring circuits. |
Applications
| Industrial Bus Isolation | Microcontroller Address Buffering |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal inverting 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT240N | DIP-20 package; wider 6.35 mm lead pitch; higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 70 °C/W vs. 100 °C/W for TSSOP). | Suitable for prototyping and through-hole assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT production. | Select for breadboard evaluation or legacy DIP-based designs where reflow compatibility is not required. |
| 74LVC240APW | 3.3 V only (1.65–3.6 V); lower VOH (≥2.4 V @ 24 mA); faster tpd (5.2 ns typ @ 3.3 V). | Optimized for low-voltage portable systems; incompatible with 5 V buses without level shifting. | Choose when system operates exclusively at 3.3 V and speed >40 MHz is critical; avoid for mixed-voltage 5 V domains. |
Compared with SN74HCT240N and 74LVC240APW, the 74HCT240PW,112 uniquely balances 5 V TTL compatibility, TSSOP20 space efficiency, and −40 °C to +125 °C operation - making it optimal for industrial-grade SMT designs requiring direct legacy logic interfacing without voltage translation.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74HCT240PW,112 in a bus-driving role?
The 74HCT240PW,112 does not operate as a clocked device but as a combinatorial buffer. Its 9 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V and 15 pF load supports reliable data/address transfer up to approximately 55 MHz in synchronous bus applications, assuming setup/hold margins exceed 3 ns. Maximum usable frequency depends on total trace capacitance and driver strength in the specific layout.
Can 74HCT240PW,112 be used with a 3.3 V supply?
No - the 74HCT240PW,112 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. At 3.3 V, input thresholds become undefined, VOH drops below 2.4 V, and output drive falls below specification. For 3.3 V systems, use the pin-compatible 74LVC240APW instead, which is characterized from 1.65 V to 3.6 V.
How should unused inputs and outputs be handled?
Unused inputs must be tied HIGH or LOW (not left floating) to prevent increased ICC and noise susceptibility; unused outputs may be left unconnected when their associated OE is held HIGH (disabled state). For best EMI performance, tie unused 1A/2A inputs to GND or VCC via 10 kΩ resistors, and avoid routing unused Y pins near sensitive analog traces.
Does the exposed pad on the TSSOP20 package require soldering or grounding?
No - the exposed pad on SOT360-1 is non-functional and electrically isolated. Per Nexperia documentation, it has no electrical or mechanical requirement to be soldered. If soldered, the land must remain floating or be connected to GND; connecting it to any other net risks internal shorting or thermal stress-induced delamination.
