Product details
Overview
CD74HCT240PW from Texas Instruments is an inverting octal buffer/line driver with three-state outputs and dual active-low output enables, designed for bidirectional bus interfacing in 5-V TTL-compatible digital systems. It delivers 8ns typical propagation delay at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF, supports ±25 mA output drive, operates across –55°C to +125°C, and features buffered inputs for noise immunity in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the CD74HCT240PW datasheet, CD74HCT240PW pinout, CD74HCT240PW application, or CD74HCT240PW equivalent, this device is selected for high-reliability 5-V bus buffering where logic inversion, low-power CMOS compatibility with LSTTL inputs, and robust thermal performance are required.
Technical Context
The CD74HCT240PW implements two independent 4-bit inverting buffer sections, each controlled by its own active-low output enable (1OE, 2OE). All eight outputs enter high-impedance state when either enable is asserted, enabling shared-bus arbitration without external logic.
Its HCT logic family ensures direct compatibility with LSTTL input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V) while maintaining CMOS-level input leakage (≤1 μA) and supply current (≤160 μA over temperature), making it suitable for mixed-voltage system interfaces requiring deterministic enable timing and rail-to-rail output swing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation within standard 5-V ±5% supply rails without level-shifting. |
| Propagation Delay | 9 ns typical (tPLH/tPHL) at VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF - Enables reliable timing in 30+ MHz bus cycles. |
| Output Drive | ±25 mA per output - Sustains fanout of 15 LSTTL loads without external buffers. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V (max), VIH = 2.0 V (min) - Guarantees direct interface with legacy 5-V TTL logic families. |
| Operating Temp | –55°C to +125°C - Qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and aerospace avionics. |
| Three-State Leakage | ±5 μA max (–55°C to +125°C) - Minimizes bus contention current during high-Z state in multi-driver systems. |
| Power Dissipation Cap | CPD = 40 pF - Enables accurate dynamic power estimation (PD = VCC² × fi × (CPD + CL)) for thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 package (PW): 6.50 mm × 4.40 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, surface-mount, moisture-sensitive level 1 (MSL-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | Inputs (1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4) | Inverting data inputs for two 4-bit channels; buffered to reject noise and reduce loading on upstream drivers. |
| 9, 10 | Output Enables (1OE, 2OE) | Active-low controls: asserting either disables corresponding 4-bit output group into high-impedance state. |
| 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20 | Outputs (1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4) | Inverted buffered outputs; each sinks or sources ±25 mA, compatible with LSTTL and CMOS loads. |
| 12, 19 | GND, VCC | Power pins placed adjacent to minimize ground bounce; decoupling capacitor must be placed near Pin 12 (GND) and Pin 19 (VCC). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inverting three-state logic | Enables bidirectional bus control with polarity inversion built-in-no external inverters needed for complemented data paths. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal inverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT240PW | Identical pinout, electrical specs, and thermal ratings; manufactured by TI as second-source part with same HCT process. | No functional difference; used interchangeably in production BOMs where dual-sourcing is required. | Select SN74HCT240PW when supply chain diversification is mandated without redesign. |
| 74HCT240D,653 (Nexperia) | Same 20-pin TSSOP package, identical VCC, VIL/VIH, and output drive; tPLH/tPHL = 10 ns (typ) vs. 9 ns. | Suitable for non-critical timing paths; slightly higher propagation delay may affect margin in >25 MHz bus designs. | Choose 74HCT240D,653 for cost-sensitive industrial designs where 1 ns timing delta is acceptable. |
Compared with SN74HCT240PW and 74HCT240D,653, the CD74HCT240PW offers identical functionality and timing but is specifically qualified for extended temperature operation and widely documented in TI reference designs for harsh-environment applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum output sink/source current specification for CD74HCT240PW?
The CD74HCT240PW is rated for ±25 mA per output pin under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, TA = –55°C to +125°C). This allows direct driving of 15 LSTTL loads and ensures robust signal integrity on long PCB traces or cables. Exceeding ±25 mA risks violating absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent damage to the CD74HCT240PW.
Does CD74HCT240PW support operation at 3.3 V?
No, CD74HCT240PW is not specified for 3.3-V operation. Its HCT family requires VCC between 4.5 V and 5.5 V to meet input threshold compatibility (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V) and output drive specifications. For 3.3-V systems, consider TI's SN74LVC240A or similar LVC-family devices instead of CD74HCT240PW.
How does the dual output enable architecture of CD74HCT240PW improve bus management?
The CD74HCT240PW features two independent active-low output enables (1OE and 2OE), allowing separate control of its two 4-bit inverting buffer groups. This enables partial bus isolation-e.g., disabling only the lower byte during upper-byte memory access-reducing contention, minimizing switching noise, and simplifying timing in multiprocessor or DMA-driven architectures using the CD74HCT240PW.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of CD74HCT240PW in its TSSOP-20 package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) for CD74HCT240PW in the PW (TSSOP-20) package is 131.8°C/W, as specified in TI's SCHS167G datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions; actual thermal performance improves with PCB copper pour and thermal vias. Designers must verify junction temperature (TJ = TA + PD × RθJA) stays below 150°C for reliable CD74HCT240PW operation.
Can CD74HCT240PW be used in place of CD74HC240PW?
CD74HCT240PW and CD74HC240PW share identical pinout and package but differ in voltage compatibility: CD74HCT240PW operates only from 4.5 V to 5.5 V with LSTTL-input thresholds, while CD74HC240PW supports 2 V to 6 V with CMOS thresholds. Substituting CD74HCT240PW for CD74HC240PW is safe only if the system uses 5-V supplies and TTL-compatible inputs; otherwise, logic level mismatches may occur. Always validate with the specific CD74HCT240PW electrical characteristics before replacement.
