Product details
Overview
MC74HC240ADTR2G-Q from onsemi is an octal 3-state inverting buffer/line driver with two active-low output enables, designed for memory address and clock distribution in automotive-grade systems. It operates from 2.0 V to 6.0 V, delivers ±7.8 mA output drive at 6.0 V, supports –55 °C to +125 °C operation, and is AEC-Q100 qualified for under-hood control modules.
For engineers reviewing the MC74HC240ADTR2G-Q datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its dual enable architecture, TSSOP-20 package footprint, 14 ns max propagation delay at 6.0 V, high-noise-immunity CMOS inputs, and automotive qualification status.
Technical Context
The MC74HC240ADTR2G-Q implements eight independent inverting buffers grouped into two 4-bit banks (A and B), each controlled by a dedicated active-low output enable (OE). Its silicon-gate CMOS process ensures compatibility with LSTTL and standard CMOS logic families when used with pull-up resistors.
Each output transitions between true inversion and high-impedance states based solely on its bank's OE signal-no internal latching or direction control is present. Propagation delays are asymmetric: tPLH/tPHL ≤ 14 ns and tPLZ/tPHZ ≤ 19 ns at VCC = 6.0 V and TA = 25 °C, enabling precise timing in synchronous bus interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - supports single-supply operation across 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±7.8 mA at VCC = 6.0 V - drives 15 LSTTL loads directly, eliminating need for external buffer stages. |
| Propagation Delay | 14 ns max (A→YA/B→YB) at 6.0 V - enables reliable operation in 35 MHz address/data strobe timing windows. |
| Operating Temperature | –55 °C to +125 °C - validated for engine control units, transmission controllers, and ADAS sensor hubs. |
| Input Leakage Current | ±1.0 μA max at 125 °C - ensures stable logic levels in low-power sleep modes without unintended toggling. |
| ESD Withstand | >2000 V HBM - meets automotive board-level ESD robustness requirements per ISO 10605. |
| Quiescent ICC | 160 μA max at 125 °C - minimizes standby current in always-on vehicle networks. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 package (Case 948E), 0.65 mm pitch, 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm body, 1.2 mm max height, lead-free (Pb-free) and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | Enable A / Enable B | Active-low enables for Bank A (YA1–YA4) and Bank B (YB1–YB4); independent control allows time-multiplexed bus sharing. |
| 2, 4, 6, 8 | A1–A4 Inputs | Inverted data inputs for Bank A; tied to microcontroller address lines or FPGA I/O banks requiring polarity inversion. |
| 11, 13, 15, 17 | B1–B4 Inputs | Inverted data inputs for Bank B; supports dual-bus architectures such as separate read/write paths or mirrored control signals. |
| 18, 16, 14, 12 | YA1–YA4 Outputs | Inverting outputs for Bank A; high-impedance when Enable A = high, enabling bidirectional bus arbitration. |
| 9, 7, 5, 3 | YB1–YB4 Outputs | Inverting outputs for Bank B; electrically isolated from YA outputs-no crosstalk between banks. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and power domains; requires low-inductance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply input; decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) required within 5 mm of pin for noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 4-bit banks | Enables concurrent control of two separate buses (e.g., address vs. control) without inter-bank timing skew. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive applications requiring operation up to +125 °C ambient and PPAP compliance. |
| CMOS input compatibility | Accepts standard CMOS logic levels directly; LSTTL compatibility achieved with external pull-ups-no level-shifter needed. |
| High noise immunity | Typical noise margin > 1.0 V at 5 V supply-rejects coupled transients from ignition systems or motor drivers. |
| Low dynamic power consumption | CPD = 32 pF per channel-reduces switching current in high-frequency clock distribution networks. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal inverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC240QPWRQ1 | TI AEC-Q100 Grade 1 part in TSSOP-20; identical pinout but higher ICC (200 μA max at 125 °C) and slower tPLH (18 ns at 6 V). | Same dual-bank enable architecture and voltage range; slightly lower noise margin (0.9 V typical at 5 V). | Preferred where TI ecosystem alignment or existing TI design reuse is prioritized over minimal propagation delay. |
| 74HC240D,653 | Nexperia TSSOP-20 variant; no AEC-Q100 qualification; wider operating temp (–40 to +125 °C); same AC specs except tPLZ/tPHZ = 22 ns. | Limited to non-safety-critical cabin modules; lacks PPAP documentation support and automotive traceability. | Select for cost-sensitive infotainment or lighting control where full automotive qualification is not mandated. |
Compared with SN74HC240QPWRQ1 and 74HC240D,653, the MC74HC240ADTR2G-Q offers the lowest propagation delay (14 ns), tightest thermal specification (–55 °C start), and full PPAP support-making it optimal for safety-critical powertrain and chassis control designs requiring deterministic timing and audit-ready compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the MC74HC240ADTR2G-Q?
The MC74HC240ADTR2G-Q is rated for operation from –55 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature, meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements. This specification is validated across all electrical parameters including propagation delay, output drive, and leakage current-ensuring reliable function in under-hood environments where ambient temperatures exceed 105 °C during peak load conditions. The MC74HC240ADTR2G-Q maintains full functionality without derating across this full range.
Does the MC74HC240ADTR2G-Q support 3.3 V logic systems?
Yes, the MC74HC240ADTR2G-Q operates reliably at 3.3 V supply (within its 2.0–6.0 V range) and interfaces directly with 3.3 V CMOS outputs. Its VIH threshold is 2.1 V min at VCC = 3.0 V, providing 1.2 V noise margin above typical 3.3 V logic high (2.4 V). Input leakage remains below ±1.0 μA at 125 °C, preventing false triggering in low-power 3.3 V microcontroller interfaces. The MC74HC240ADTR2G-Q requires no level-shifting circuitry in mixed-voltage systems.
How does the dual-output-enable architecture of the MC74HC240ADTR2G-Q improve system design?
The MC74HC240ADTR2G-Q features two independent active-low output enables (Enable A and Enable B), allowing separate control of its two 4-bit banks. This enables time-multiplexed bus sharing-e.g., using Bank A for address lines and Bank B for control signals-without adding external logic. It reduces MCU GPIO count by half versus single-enable alternatives and eliminates timing skew between banks. The MC74HC240ADTR2G-Q thus simplifies routing and improves signal integrity in space-constrained automotive ECUs.
Is the MC74HC240ADTR2G-Q pin-compatible with legacy LS240 devices?
Yes, the MC74HC240ADTR2G-Q is pinout-identical to the 74LS240, as confirmed in the onsemi datasheet. All 20 pins-including VCC (20), GND (10), input groups (A1–A4, B1–B4), output groups (YA1–YA4, YB1–YB4), and enables (1, 19)-match LS240 assignments. However, the MC74HC240ADTR2G-Q uses CMOS technology with higher noise immunity, lower power, and wider voltage range-requiring no changes to PCB layout but enabling direct upgrade from bipolar TTL in automotive retrofits.
What packaging and compliance certifications apply to the MC74HC240ADTR2G-Q?
The MC74HC240ADTR2G-Q is supplied in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant TSSOP-20 package (Case 948E) with moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1. It carries AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use and PPAP documentation capability. The "–Q" suffix denotes unique site and control change requirements, ensuring full traceability for Tier 1 suppliers. The MC74HC240ADTR2G-Q also meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and has oxygen index 28–34, supporting compliance with automotive interior material standards.
