Product details
Overview
SN74AHCT16240DGVR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit inverting buffer/driver with 3-state outputs, designed for high-density bus interfacing in memory address, clock distribution, and data bus applications. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supports TTL-level inputs, delivers ±8 mA output drive, and features symmetrical active-low OE controls per 4-bit section. Its TVSOP-48 package enables compact PCB layout in industrial control and embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AHCT16240DGVR datasheet, SN74AHCT16240DGVR pinout, SN74AHCT16240DGVR application, or SN74AHCT16240DGVR equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state timing (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 12 ns at 50 pF), thermal performance (θJA = 58°C/W), input compatibility with TTL logic, flow-through pin architecture, and guaranteed operation from –40°C to 85°C.
Technical Context
The SN74AHCT16240DGVR implements four independent 4-bit inverting buffers, each with dedicated active-low output-enable (OE) inputs. Its EPIC™ CMOS process ensures TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) while maintaining 5-V CMOS output swing and rail-to-rail drive capability.
It uses distributed VCC/GND pins and flow-through pinout to minimize switching noise and simplify PCB routing. Latch-up immunity exceeds 250 mA per JESD17, and ESD protection exceeds 2000 V per MIL-STD-883 Method 3015 - critical for robust industrial bus interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V logic rails and tolerant of supply ripple. |
| Input Voltage Compatibility | TTL-level (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) - interoperable with legacy 74LS/TTL sources without level shifters. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8 mA at VOH/VOL - sufficient to drive 50-pF loads with <12 ns enable/disable times and <10.5 ns propagation delay. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and automation equipment. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 58°C/W (TVSOP) - enables higher sustained switching activity vs. TSSOP/SSOP variants under natural convection. |
| 3-State Leakage | IOZ ≤ ±2.5 µA at VCC = 5.5 V - ensures minimal bus contention current during high-impedance state. |
| Power Dissipation Capacitance | Cpd = 10 pF - predicts dynamic power consumption in high-frequency bus toggling scenarios. |
Pinout & Package
SN74AHCT16240DGVR is housed in a 48-pin Thin Very Small-Outline Package (TVSOP, DGV), measuring 12.6 mm × 6.1 mm × 1.2 mm (max height), JEDEC MO-153 compliant, with 0.4-mm pitch leads and Q1 pin-1 orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low output-enable control | Each enables/disables one 4-bit buffer section; tied to VCC via pullup for power-up high-Z safety. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4, 3A1–3A4, 4A1–4A4 | Input terminals (16 total) | Inverting inputs - logic HIGH yields LOW output; all inputs must be terminated to VCC/GND for stable operation. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4, 3Y1–3Y4, 4Y1–4Y4 | Inverting 3-state outputs (16 total) | Drive external buses; enter high-impedance when corresponding OE is HIGH. |
| VCC (pins 7, 21, 34, 48) | Power supply | Distributed VCC pins reduce simultaneous switching noise and improve decoupling effectiveness. |
| GND (pins 4, 10, 15, 27, 32, 37, 43) | Ground reference | Seven GND pins provide low-inductance return paths and enhance signal integrity on high-speed buses. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inverting 3-state buffers | Four independent 4-bit sections allow flexible partitioning (e.g., 1×16-bit, 2×8-bit, or 4×4-bit bus isolation). |
| Flow-through pin architecture | Input and output pins aligned on opposite sides - eliminates layer jumps and reduces trace length in dense PCB layouts. |
| Distributed power/ground pins | Four VCC and seven GND pins minimize ground bounce and supply droop during 16-bit parallel switching. |
| TTL-compatible inputs | Accepts standard 74LS/ALS logic levels directly - eliminates need for external level-shifting circuitry. |
| Latch-up and ESD robustness | Exceeds 250 mA latch-up immunity (JESD17) and 2000 V HBM ESD (MIL-STD-883) - suitable for noisy industrial environments. |
Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | Clock Distribution Network |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 16-bit address lines from a microcontroller to multiple SRAM or Flash devices sharing a common data bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverting 3-state buffer isolating address space; enables time-multiplexed access by enabling only one device's OE at a time. Use Value: Prevents bus contention during multi-chip select cycles; ±8 mA drive ensures fast edge rates into 50-pF load per line. | Use Scenario: Distributing a system clock to multiple synchronous peripherals (e.g., ADCs, DACs, FPGAs) with matched skew. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-skew, inverting fanout buffer; OE controls enable/disable of clock domains during sleep or reconfiguration. Use Value: tsk(o) ≤ 1 ns ensures tight inter-output skew; flow-through layout minimizes trace-length mismatch across 16 outputs. |
| Industrial I/O Expansion | Legacy Bus Interface Bridge |
Use Scenario: Interfacing a modern 3.3-V MCU GPIO bank to legacy 5-V industrial sensors or actuators via optocoupler-isolated lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-tolerant 5-V buffer translating MCU logic to 5-V bus; 3-state allows bidirectional shared-line arbitration. Use Value: TTL-compatible inputs accept 3.3-V logic highs reliably; 58°C/W θJA supports continuous operation in enclosed enclosures. | Use Scenario: Connecting ISA or PCI-104 peripheral cards to newer host controllers where native 5-V signaling is required. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus transceiver replacement - used as unidirectional driver/receiver pair with OE-controlled directionality. Use Value: Guaranteed 4.5–5.5 V operation meets legacy spec requirements; 250 mA latch-up rating withstands transient bus faults. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit inverting 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AHCT16244DGVR | Non-inverting output logic; identical pinout, timing, and electrical specs otherwise. | Required where bus polarity must be preserved (e.g., direct replacement for non-inverting drivers). | Select when system logic requires true (not inverted) signal replication without external inversion. |
| SN74LVC16244ADGVR | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); 3.3-V optimized; higher speed (tPD ≈ 4.2 ns), but not 5-V tolerant. | Suitable only in pure 3.3-V systems; cannot interface directly to 5-V buses or TTL inputs. | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-power 3.3-V designs where 5-V compatibility is unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74AHCT16244DGVR and SN74LVC16244ADGVR, the SN74AHCT16240DGVR uniquely provides inverting logic with full 5-V TTL compatibility and industrial temperature support - making it the sole option for legacy 5-V bus buffering requiring polarity inversion and robust noise immunity.

FAQ
What is the recommended power-up sequence for SN74AHCT16240DGVR to ensure safe 3-state behavior?
TI recommends tying all OE inputs to VCC through a pullup resistor (minimum value determined by driver sink capability) during power-up and power-down. This guarantees the outputs remain in high-impedance until valid logic levels stabilize. The SN74AHCT16240DGVR does not incorporate internal power-on reset circuitry, so external OE biasing is mandatory for glitch-free initialization.
Can SN74AHCT16240DGVR safely interface with 3.3-V microcontrollers?
Yes - the SN74AHCT16240DGVR accepts TTL-compatible inputs (VIH ≥ 2.0 V), making it fully compatible with 3.3-V CMOS logic outputs. Its 5-V supply ensures robust noise margins and full-swing 5-V outputs, but note that outputs are not 3.3-V tolerant; external clamping or level translation is required if driving 3.3-V inputs.
How does the flow-through pinout of SN74AHCT16240DGVR improve PCB layout compared to traditional packages?
The flow-through architecture places inputs on one side and corresponding outputs on the opposite side (e.g., A1→Y1 aligned vertically), eliminating cross-layer routing and minimizing trace length and crosstalk. For the SN74AHCT16240DGVR in TVSOP-48, this enables single-layer fanout in dense 16-bit bus designs - reducing layer count, cost, and signal integrity risk.
What is the maximum capacitive load the SN74AHCT16240DGVR can drive while maintaining specified timing?
The SN74AHCT16240DGVR is characterized up to 50 pF load capacitance, with tPLH/tPHL ≤ 10.5 ns and tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 13 ns at VCC = 5 V. Driving >50 pF increases propagation and enable/disable delays nonlinearly and may violate setup/hold timing in synchronous systems - use series termination or buffer staging for heavier loads.
Is SN74AHCT16240DGVR pin-compatible with other members of the AHCT16240 family?
Yes - SN74AHCT16240DGVR shares identical pinout and functionality with SN74AHCT16240DGGR (TSSOP) and SN74AHCT16240DLR (SSOP). All three use the same 48-pin footprint with matching signal, power, and ground assignments, enabling drop-in substitution based on board space and thermal requirements.
