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 drive at 3.3V, achieves 3.7ns max propagation delay, and supports 5.5V-tolerant inputs - enabling use in mixed-voltage interfaces such as microcontroller GPIO expansion or I²C bus buffering.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC1G240 datasheet, SN74LVC1G240 pinout, SN74LVC1G240 application, or SN74LVC1G240 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3-state control timing (enable/disable), Ioff partial-power-down capability, overvoltage-tolerant inputs, and NanoFree™ package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC1G240 implements a CMOS-based inverting logic gate with active-low 3-state enable (OE), where output Y = NOT(A) when OE is low and enters high-impedance when OE is high. Its input structure includes overvoltage-tolerant circuitry allowing VI up to 5.5V independent of VCC, and its output stage features balanced sourcing/sinking capability with Ioff protection that disables all outputs at 0V supply.
Functional behavior is defined by a truth table with three modes: active inversion (A→Y̅), disabled (high-Z), and power-down safe state (Ioff). The device complies with JEDEC JESD78 Class II latch-up immunity (>100mA) and supports operation across –40°C to 125°C ambient temperature with CL = 15–50pF load conditions.

Pinout & Package
SN74LVC1G240 is available in multiple ultra-small packages including DBV (SOT-23-5), DCK (SC70-5), YZP (DSBGA-5), DRY (SON-6), and DSF (SON-6). The YZP (DSBGA-5) variant measures 1.39mm × 0.89mm and is used in the SN74LVC1G240YEPR orderable part.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OE | Active-low 3-state enable input | Drives output Y into high-impedance when high; tie to VCC via pullup resistor for power-up safety |
| 2 - A | Inverting data input | Accepts voltages up to 5.5V regardless of VCC; CMOS-compatible with fast transition requirement |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal currents; must be low-impedance and adjacent to decoupling capacitor |
| 4 - Y | Inverting 3-state output | Provides true inverted signal when OE is low; floats to high-Z when OE is high |
| 5 - VCC | Power supply | Supplies core logic and output drivers; requires local 0.1μF bypass capacitor per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NanoFree™ packaging | YZP (DSBGA-5) footprint of 1.39mm × 0.89mm enables ultra-dense routing in portable and wearable electronics |
| 5.5V-tolerant inputs | Allows interfacing with legacy 5V peripherals while powered from 1.8V or 2.5V rails - eliminates external level translators |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Prevents current backflow and signal corruption when VCC is off but inputs remain active - critical for hot-swap systems |
| Low ICC standby current | 10μA max ICC ensures minimal battery drain in always-on sensor nodes or sleep-mode MCU peripherals |
| Fast 3-state switching | Enable/disable times ≤5.4ns (tdis/ten) support dynamic bus arbitration in multi-master digital systems |
Applications
| LED Indicator Control | Digital Signal Redriving |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving an LED from a low-current GPIO pin of an ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller operating at 3.3V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverting buffer with 3-state output acts as current-amplifying interface, converting weak logic-level signals into 24mA sink capability for visible LED illumination. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete transistor driver; built-in Ioff prevents LED glow during MCU reset or sleep states. | Use Scenario: Reconditioning degraded clock or data edges on a 10cm PCB trace connecting FPGA to ADC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single inverting buffer restores signal integrity by providing clean, low-skew, rail-to-rail output swing with controlled edge rates. Use Value: 3.7ns tpd and ±24mA drive ensure reliable timing margin at 50MHz; 3-state allows shared bus isolation during configuration. |
| Transmission Line Termination | Controller Reset Hold Function |
Use Scenario: Driving a 50Ω coaxial cable carrying UART debug data from a SoC to external test equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output driver matches line impedance and provides sufficient current to maintain signal amplitude over 1m distance. Use Value: Balanced sourcing/sinking reduces reflections; 5.5V-tolerant inputs accept TTL-level debug signals even when SoC runs at 1.8V. | Use Scenario: Holding a system reset line low during boot sequence until voltage regulators stabilize. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverter with OE tied to power-good signal holds inverted reset assertion until supply reaches regulation threshold. Use Value: Enables precise reset timing control using simple RC + comparator; 3-state avoids contention with other reset sources during power-up. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G04YEPR | No 3-state output; fixed inverting buffer only | Cannot disable output; unsuitable for bus sharing or dynamic isolation | Select only if continuous inversion is required and no bus contention risk exists |
| SN74LVC1G125YEPR | Non-inverting 3-state buffer; identical pinout and electrical specs | Preserves signal polarity instead of inverting - required for non-inverted control paths | Choose when logic polarity must be maintained; drop-in replacement except for functional inversion |
Compared with SN74LVC1G240YEPR, SN74LVC1G04YEPR lacks bus isolation capability, while SN74LVC1G125YEPR offers identical timing and drive but preserves input polarity - making it the preferred alternative when signal inversion is not desired.

FAQ
What is the function of the OE pin on the SN74LVC1G240YEPR?
The OE (Output Enable) pin on the SN74LVC1G240YEPR is an active-low control input that places the output Y in high-impedance state when driven high, and enables normal inverting operation (Y = NOT(A)) when driven low. To ensure high-Z during power-up, TI recommends tying OE to VCC through a pullup resistor - minimum value determined by the driver's current-sinking capability.
Can SN74LVC1G240YEPR operate with a 1.8V supply while accepting 3.3V input signals?
Yes, SN74LVC1G240YEPR supports 5.5V-tolerant inputs, meaning it can reliably accept 3.3V (or up to 5.5V) logic-high signals even when powered from a 1.8V VCC supply. This overvoltage tolerance eliminates the need for external level-shifting circuitry in mixed-voltage systems, simplifying design and reducing BOM cost.
What is the maximum capacitive load SN74LVC1G240YEPR can drive while maintaining specified timing?
SN74LVC1G240YEPR maintains full specification compliance with capacitive loads up to 50pF. For loads exceeding 50pF, TI recommends adding a series damping resistor near the output to limit peak current and prevent ringing. The device's ±24mA drive strength at 3.3V supports robust edge rates into typical PCB traces and small IC inputs without signal degradation.
Does SN74LVC1G240YEPR support hot-swap or live-insertion applications?
Yes, SN74LVC1G240YEPR includes Ioff circuitry that disables all outputs when VCC = 0V, preventing current backflow and signal corruption during live insertion or partial power-down. With Ioff leakage limited to ±10μA, the device safely isolates powered and unpowered sections of a backplane or modular system without requiring additional protection components.
Which package type corresponds to the SN74LVC1G240YEPR orderable part number?
The SN74LVC1G240YEPR uses the YZP package - a 5-ball, 1.39mm × 0.89mm DSBGA (Die Size Ball Grid Array) with 0.4mm ball pitch. This NanoFree™ package provides the smallest footprint among SN74LVC1G240 variants and is optimized for space-constrained applications such as wearables, medical sensors, and ultra-thin consumer devices.
