Product details
Overview
M74LCX16240DTR2G from onsemi is a low-voltage CMOS 16-bit inverting buffer with 3-state outputs, 5 V-tolerant I/O, and nibble-level output enable control. It operates from 2.3 V to 3.6 V, delivers ±24 mA output drive, supports live insertion, and is used for memory address driving and TTL-level bus interfacing in mixed-voltage systems.
For engineers reviewing the M74LCX16240DTR2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include 5 V tolerance, 2.3–3.6 V supply compatibility, 16-bit nibble-controlled 3-state operation, propagation delay under 5.4 ns at 3.3 V, and TSSOP-48 package suitability for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The M74LCX16240DTR2G implements four independent 4-bit inverting buffers, each controlled by a dedicated OE input (OE1–OE4), enabling flexible partial-bus gating. Its 5.5 V absolute maximum input voltage rating allows safe interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL logic without level shifters.
Each output provides balanced ±24 mA sink/source capability at VCC ≥ 3.0 V, with near-zero static ICC (10 µA) across all logic states. The device features IOFF protection ensuring high-impedance outputs when VCC = 0 V, supporting hot-swap applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - enables direct use in 2.5 V and 3.3 V systems without regulators |
| Input Voltage Range | −0.5 V to +5.5 V - guarantees safe 5 V TTL signal acceptance with no external clamping |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at VCC ≥ 3.0 V - drives standard TTL loads and multiple LVTTL inputs |
| Propagation Delay | ≤ 5.4 ns at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 50 pF - supports >100 MHz bus operation with timing margin |
| Quiescent Current | 10 µA max - minimizes standby power in battery-backed or low-power embedded systems |
| IOFF Leakage | 10 µA at VCC = 0 V - maintains bus isolation during power sequencing or hot-plug events |
| ESD Rating | HBM > 2000 V - meets industrial handling requirements without additional protection circuitry |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 (Case 1201), Pb-free, RoHS-compliant surface-mount package with 0.5 mm pitch, 12.5 mm × 6.1 mm footprint, and exposed thermal pad not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OE1–OE4 | Output Enable Inputs | Active-low controls for four independent 4-bit nibbles; tying together enables full 16-bit operation |
| D0–D15 | Data Inputs | Inverting inputs - logic HIGH produces LOW output; TTL/LVTTL/LVCMOS compatible |
| O0–O15 | 3-State Outputs | Inverting buffered outputs with 5 V-tolerant structure; high-Z when corresponding OE is HIGH |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 30) | Power Supply | Single 2.3–3.6 V rail shared across all buffers; three pins reduce IR drop and noise coupling |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 33, 44) | Ground | Six ground pins minimize ground bounce and improve AC noise immunity in high-speed switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5 V–tolerant I/O | Enables seamless interface between 3.3 V logic domains and legacy 5 V peripherals without level translators |
| Nibble-selectable 3-state control | Four OE inputs allow dynamic partitioning of 16-bit buses - e.g., isolate address vs. data segments |
| Live insertion support | IOFF and high-impedance state at VCC = 0 V permit safe board replacement in powered-backplane systems |
| Low dynamic switching noise | 20 pF power dissipation capacitance and balanced drive reduce simultaneous switching output (SSO) noise |
| Pb-free / RoHS compliance | Meets global environmental regulations and reflow soldering profiles up to 260 °C peak temperature |
Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | Backplane Bus Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 16-bit address lines from a low-voltage microcontroller to SRAM or Flash memory operating at 5 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverting 3-state buffer providing voltage translation, fanout expansion, and bus contention control. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete level shifters while maintaining <5.4 ns propagation delay for synchronous memory access timing. | Use Scenario: Interfacing a 3.3 V FPGA I/O bank to a 5 V TTL backplane carrying control/status signals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional-capable (via OE control) voltage-tolerant buffer isolating logic domains and suppressing ground bounce.

| Hot-Swappable Module Control | Industrial PLC I/O Expansion |
Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling communication lines to a field-replaceable module in a powered rack system. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Nibble-gated buffer asserting high-Z state during insertion/removal to prevent bus conflicts. Use Value: IOFF specification guarantees outputs remain high-Z even when VCC is disconnected - critical for hot-swap safety. | Use Scenario: Expanding digital input/output capacity of a 24 V PLC controller using 3.3 V logic and 5 V sensor/actuator interfaces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-shifting buffer translating between isolated 3.3 V logic and non-isolated 5 V field-side signals. Use Value: 2000 V HBM ESD rating withstands industrial EMI environments; 10 µA quiescent current reduces heat in sealed enclosures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit inverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16240ADGGR | Same 16-bit inverting 3-state function, but only 3.6 V max VCC and 3.6 V max VI - no 5 V tolerance | Requires external clamping or level shifting for 5 V inputs; unsuitable for direct 5 V TTL interfacing | Select only if system uses exclusively 3.3 V or lower logic and no 5 V signals are present |
| 74ALVC16240PW | Higher speed (tPD ≤ 3.5 ns), same 5 V tolerance, but rated only down to 2.7 V VCC - not specified below 2.7 V | Cannot operate at 2.5 V supply; incompatible with 2.3–2.5 V ultra-low-power designs | Prefer when speed is critical and supply is stable ≥2.7 V; avoid for battery-powered 2.5 V systems |
Compared with SN74LVC16240ADGGR and 74ALVC16240PW, the M74LCX16240DTR2G uniquely supports full 5 V tolerance *and* operation down to 2.3 V, making it the only option for mixed-voltage bus buffering where both legacy compatibility and low-voltage efficiency are required.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage for reliable operation of the M74LCX16240DTR2G?
The M74LCX16240DTR2G is fully specified from 2.3 V to 3.6 V. At 2.3 V, it guarantees −8 mA output source/sink capability and meets all DC and AC timing specifications per the datasheet. Operation below 2.3 V is not characterized and may result in undefined logic behavior or timing violations in the M74LCX16240DTR2G.
Can the M74LCX16240DTR2G safely interface with 5 V microcontrollers without external components?
Yes - the M74LCX16240DTR2G accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, and its outputs tolerate 5 V when in high-impedance state. This allows direct connection to 5 V MCU GPIOs or peripherals without resistors, diodes, or level shifters, preserving signal integrity and reducing BOM count for the M74LCX16240DTR2G.
How does the nibble-control architecture of the M74LCX16240DTR2G improve system design flexibility?
The M74LCX16240DTR2G provides four independent OE inputs (OE1–OE4), each controlling a 4-bit segment. This allows selective gating of address/data nibbles, dynamic bus partitioning, or staggered enable timing - e.g., enabling upper/lower memory banks separately. That architectural feature is intrinsic to the M74LCX16240DTR2G and not available in standard 16-bit buffers.
Does the M74LCX16240DTR2G support hot-swap applications, and what feature enables this?
Yes - the M74LCX16240DTR2G supports hot-swap via its IOFF specification: when VCC = 0 V, all outputs remain in high-impedance state even with 5.5 V applied to inputs. This prevents back-driving powered subsystems during insertion, a core requirement for modular systems using the M74LCX16240DTR2G in backplane or carrier-board roles.
What is the maximum capacitive load the M74LCX16240DTR2G can drive while maintaining guaranteed timing performance?
The M74LCX16240DTR2G AC specifications are guaranteed with CL = 50 pF at VCC = 3.3 V and CL = 30 pF at VCC = 2.5 V. Driving heavier loads increases propagation delay and output transition time; for example, at 100 pF and 3.3 V, tPLH/tPHL may exceed 8 ns. Designers should verify timing margins in their actual layout when using the M74LCX16240DTR2G with >50 pF loads.
