Product details
Overview
SN74LVC1G240 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel inverting buffer/driver with 3-state output, designed for signal conditioning and bus isolation in low-voltage digital systems. It operates from 1.65V to 5.5V, delivers ±24mA output drive at 3.3V, achieves 3.7ns max propagation delay, and supports 5.5V-tolerant inputs - enabling level translation in mixed-supply applications such as microcontroller I/O expansion and sensor interface buffering.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC1G240 datasheet, SN74LVC1G240 pinout, SN74LVC1G240 application, or SN74LVC1G240 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state control timing (enable/disable), Ioff support for live insertion, input overvoltage tolerance, thermal performance in SC70-5, and compatibility with 15pF/30pF load conditions across –40°C to 125°C.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC1G240 implements a CMOS-based inverting logic function with active-low 3-state control: when OE is low, A is inverted and driven to Y; when OE is high, Y enters high-impedance state. Its balanced CMOS output stage provides symmetrical sourcing/sinking capability up to ±24mA at 3.3V, while Ioff circuitry ensures zero current flow during VCC = 0V conditions.
Input structure includes overvoltage-tolerant protection without positive clamp diodes, allowing VI up to 5.5V independent of VCC. The device complies with JESD78 Class II latch-up immunity (>100mA), supports down-translation (e.g., 5V input → 3.3V output), and maintains valid logic thresholds across its full 1.65V–5.5V supply range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
SN74LVC1G240DCKR uses the DCK (SC-70, 5-pin) package: 2.0mm × 2.1mm body size, 1.25mm width, ultra-small footprint suitable for space-constrained PCBs. Thermal resistance RθJA = 371°C/W confirms suitability for low-power density layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OE | Active-low 3-state enable input | Drives Y into high-Z when high; must be pulled up to VCC via resistor (e.g., 10kΩ) for power-up safety |
| 2 - A | Inverting data input | Accepts 0–5.5V signals; CMOS-compatible with fast transition requirement (≤10ns/V at 3.3V) |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for all currents; requires low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise |
| 4 - Y | Inverted, 3-state output | Provides true inversion (A→¬Y) when OE low; floats when OE high; supports bus sharing |
| 5 - VCC | Positive supply | Decoupling capacitor (0.1μF) required adjacent to pin to suppress supply transients |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NanoFree™ SC-70 package | Enables <2mm² board area usage - critical for wearables, IoT sensors, and miniaturized modules |

| 5.5V-tolerant inputs | Eliminates need for external level translators when interfacing 5V legacy peripherals to 3.3V or 1.8V controllers |
| Low 3.7ns tpd at 3.3V | Meets timing budgets for high-speed clock/data re-driving in FPGA I/O banks and MCU peripheral expansion |
| JESD78 Class II latch-up immunity | Withstands >100mA fault current - ensures robustness in noisy industrial or automotive ECU environments |
Applications
| LED Indicator Control | Digital Signal Redriving |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving discrete LEDs or LED arrays from low-current GPIO pins of microcontrollers or FPGAs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverting buffer with 3-state output acts as current-amplifying gate and polarity adjuster; OE enables dynamic on/off control. Use Value: Delivers ±24mA at 3.3V - sufficient to drive standard 20mA LEDs without external transistor; Ioff prevents reverse current during MCU reset. | Use Scenario: Restoring signal integrity on long PCB traces or between ICs with mismatched drive strength. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-channel inverter re-drives and inverts digital signals (e.g., UART TX, SPI CLK) while providing bus isolation via 3-state control. Use Value: 3.7ns max tpd preserves edge fidelity; 15pF/30pF load specs validate use in typical routing scenarios; SC70 footprint minimizes added board area. |
| Transmission Line Termination | Controller Reset Hold |
Use Scenario: Driving controlled-impedance lines (e.g., 50Ω PCB traces) in point-to-point digital links. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output driver with matched sourcing/sinking capability ensures clean rise/fall times and reduces reflections. Use Value: Balanced ±24mA drive enables fast edge rates into 50Ω loads; low Cpd (18pF @ 3.3V) limits capacitive loading on source node. | Use Scenario: Holding peripheral enable or reset lines in defined state during processor boot or brown-out recovery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverting buffer with OE tied to controller reset signal holds downstream device in reset until firmware releases OE. Use Value: High-impedance output during reset avoids contention; guaranteed VIH/VIL thresholds ensure reliable assertion across voltage corners. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar inverting buffer with 3-state output applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC1G04GW,125 (Nexperia) | No 3-state output; fixed inverter only - lacks OE control and bus isolation capability | Suitable only for permanent inversion, not shared-bus or dynamic enable scenarios | Select SN74LVC1G240DCKR when 3-state control, Ioff, or 5.5V-tolerant inputs are required. |
| SN74LVC1G125DCKR (Texas Instruments) | Non-inverting 3-state buffer; identical pinout, package, supply range, and drive strength | Used where signal polarity must be preserved (e.g., clock forwarding, address latching) | Choose SN74LVC1G240DCKR specifically for inversion + 3-state; use SN74LVC1G125DCKR for non-inverting + 3-state. |
Compared with 74LVC1G04GW,125, SN74LVC1G240DCKR adds critical 3-state control and Ioff for system-level power management; versus SN74LVC1G125DCKR, it provides functional inversion while retaining identical layout, thermal, and drive characteristics - enabling drop-in replacement in inverting signal paths.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SN74LVC1G240DCKR?
The SN74LVC1G240DCKR is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This extended range is validated per JEDEC JESD78 latch-up testing and thermal characterization, making SN74LVC1G240DCKR suitable for under-hood automotive, industrial motor control, and outdoor equipment applications where thermal stress is present.
Does SN74LVC1G240DCKR support 5V input signals when powered at 3.3V?
Yes, SN74LVC1G240DCKR supports input voltages up to 5.5V regardless of VCC level. When powered at 3.3V, its inputs remain tolerant to 5V logic levels - enabling direct interfacing with 5V peripherals without external level-shifting circuitry. This overvoltage tolerance is implemented via dedicated input protection structures, not standard clamp diodes.
What is the recommended pull-up resistor value for OE on SN74LVC1G240DCKR?
A 10kΩ pull-up resistor from OE to VCC is recommended for SN74LVC1G240DCKR to ensure high-impedance output during power-up and power-down. This value balances sufficient current sinking (per driver capability) against power consumption and noise immunity. TI specifies that the minimum resistor value depends on the current-sinking capability of the OE driver, and 10kΩ meets this across all valid VCC conditions.
Can SN74LVC1G240DCKR drive a 50pF capacitive load reliably?
Yes, SN74LVC1G240DCKR is characterized for CL = 30pF and 50pF loads per TI's switching specifications. At 3.3V and –40°C to 85°C, tpd remains ≤4.5ns with 50pF loading. For robust design, TI recommends limiting total load capacitance to ≤50pF; if exceeded, add a series damping resistor near the output to control ringing and maintain signal integrity.
Is SN74LVC1G240DCKR pin-compatible with other SC-70 logic devices?
SN74LVC1G240DCKR uses the standard 5-pin SC-70 (DCK) footprint, matching pinout and pad layout with TI's SN74LVC1G125DCKR, SN74LVC1G07DCKR, and other single-gate SC-70 logic devices. This enables layout reuse across functionally distinct but mechanically identical components - reducing PCB redesign effort when modifying signal polarity or drive type.
