Product details
Overview
74LVQ240SJX from Fairchild Semiconductor is an inverting octal buffer/line driver with 3-STATE outputs, designed for memory address and clock distribution in 3.3V systems. It operates from 2.0V to 3.6V, delivers ±12mA output drive, guarantees 75Ω incident-wave switching, and features 4kV ESD immunity.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVQ240SJX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include simultaneous switching noise control, dynamic threshold performance at 3.3V, guaranteed tPLH/tPHL ≤10.5ns, and EIAJ TYPE II SOP (M20D) package compatibility.
Technical Context
The 74LVQ240SJX implements dual independent 3-STATE enable logic (OE1/OE2), each controlling four inverting outputs (O0–O3 and O4–O7). Its patented EMI reduction circuitry suppresses simultaneous switching noise, and it guarantees incident-wave switching into 75Ω transmission lines across −40°C to +85°C.
It meets strict dynamic input voltage thresholds (VIHD ≤2.0V, VILD ≤0.8V at VCC = 3.3V) and exhibits low dynamic VOLP (≤0.8V) and VOLV (≥−0.8V) under load, ensuring signal integrity in high-density bus applications.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal buffer/line driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC240PW,118 | Non-inverting outputs; identical VCC range and 3-STATE timing; slightly lower tPLH (8.5ns typ) | Requires logic inversion upstream or downstream to match 74LVQ240SJX's inverting behavior | Select when non-inverting polarity aligns with system-level signal flow and lower typical delay is prioritized |
| SN74LV240APWR | Same inverting function and pinout; higher ICC (20µA max vs. 4µA typ); no guaranteed 75Ω incident-wave switching | Lacks documented transmission-line drive assurance; may require external termination in high-speed routing | Select when pin compatibility and TI's long-term supply assurance outweigh guaranteed 75Ω drive capability |
Compared with 74LVC240PW,118 and SN74LV240APWR, the 74LVQ240SJX uniquely provides guaranteed 75Ω incident-wave switching and patented EMI reduction-critical for noise-sensitive, high-density 3.3V bus designs where layout space limits termination options.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the 74LVQ240SJX?
The 74LVQ240SJX operates from 2.0V to 3.6V, with full functionality and guaranteed AC/DC specifications across this range. At VCC = 3.3V ±0.3V, it achieves optimal timing performance (tPLH/tPHL ≤10.5ns) and meets all dynamic threshold and noise immunity specs. Operation below 2.0V or above 3.6V violates recommended conditions and may cause functional failure or accelerated wear.
Does the 74LVQ240SJX support true 3-STATE output control?
Yes, the 74LVQ240SJX provides two independent active-low 3-STATE enable inputs: OE1 controls outputs O4–O7, and OE2 controls O0–O3. When either OE is HIGH, its associated outputs enter high-impedance state with leakage ≤±2.5µA. This allows flexible bus partitioning and avoids contention in multi-driver systems without requiring external logic.
Is the 74LVQ240SJX pin-compatible with standard 74-series octal buffers?
No-the 74LVQ240SJX uses a proprietary pinout optimized for EIAJ TYPE II SOP (M20D), differing from JEDEC-standard SOIC packages like the 74LV240. Pin assignments for OE1/OE2 and I/O grouping are unique to the LVQ family. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign; verify against the official connection diagram before integration.
What does "guaranteed incident wave switching into 75Ω" mean for the 74LVQ240SJX?
This specification means the 74LVQ240SJX can cleanly launch signals onto 75Ω transmission lines without external series termination resistors, even under worst-case process/voltage/temperature conditions. It ensures minimal reflection and overshoot during the first edge transit, directly supporting point-to-point clock or address routing in compact PCBs where layout space is constrained.
How does the patented EMI reduction circuitry in the 74LVQ240SJX work?
The 74LVQ240SJX employs internal slew-rate control and output-stage timing skewing to reduce peak current demand during simultaneous output transitions. This lowers high-frequency spectral content and radiated emissions-verified by Fairchild's EMI testing-without degrading propagation delay. It enables denser board layouts while easing compliance with CISPR 22 Class B emission limits.
