Product details
Overview
SN74LVTT240PWLE from Texas Instruments is a 3.3-V Advanced BiCMOS Technology (ABT) octal buffer/driver with dual 4-bit sections, 3-state outputs, and mixed-mode 5-V/3.3-V I/O compatibility. It delivers 64 mA sink current per output at VCC = 3 V, supports live insertion, and operates from –40°C to 85°C in a 20-pin TSSOP (PW) package for space-constrained board-level interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVTT240PWLE datasheet, SN74LVTT240PWLE pinout, SN74LVTT240PWLE application, or SN74LVTT240PWLE equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3-V ABT logic family compatibility, 5-V tolerant inputs, 3-state enable control timing (tPZH ≤ 5.6 ns), and TSSOP-20 thermal performance (0.7 W max at TA = 55°C).
Technical Context
The SN74LVTT240PWLE implements two independent 4-bit noninverting buffer/driver sections, each with dedicated active-low output-enable (OE) control. Its ABT architecture enables TTL-level signal translation between 5-V legacy subsystems and 3.3-V logic domains without level shifters.
It features robust ESD/latch-up protection (≥500 mA per JESD-17), low ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V), and supports unregulated battery operation down to 2.7 V - making it suitable for hot-swap backplane interfaces and mixed-voltage industrial controllers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Operating Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - enables direct connection to Li-ion battery rails and low-noise 3.3-V LDOs without regulation overhead |
| IOL / IOH | 64 mA / –32 mA at VCC = 3 V - drives standard TTL loads and multiple CMOS inputs without external buffers |
| tPZH / tPLZ | ≤ 5.6 ns / ≤ 5.8 ns - ensures fast output disable timing for bus arbitration and dynamic power gating |
| VIH / VIL | 2 V / 0.8 V - accepts 5-V TTL input thresholds while powered from 3.3-V supply, eliminating level translators |
| ICC (Active) | 8.6–12 mA - low static power enables use in always-on monitoring circuits with minimal thermal impact |
| IOZL / IOZH | ±5 µA - guarantees high-impedance state integrity during sleep mode or system reset sequences |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVTT240PWLE is housed in a 20-pin Thin Shrink Small-Outline Package (TSSOP, PW), 4.4 mm × 6.5 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, with exposed pad not present. Pinout matches industry-standard TSSOP-20 footprint for drop-in PCB replacement of compatible TI ABT devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output-enable controls for Section 1 (pins 2–5, 18–15) and Section 2 (pins 11–14, 7–4) |
| 2–5, 15–18 | 1A1–1A4, 2Y1–2Y4 | Section 1 inputs (A) and Section 2 outputs (Y); noninverting data path per buffer |
| 7–10, 11–14 | 2A1–2A4, 1Y1–1Y4 | Section 2 inputs (A) and Section 1 outputs (Y); cross-wired layout supports bidirectional bus buffering |
| 10, 20 | GND, VCC | Power reference and supply pins - decoupling capacitor placement adjacent to pin 20 minimizes switching noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode 5-V/3.3-V I/O | 5-V tolerant inputs and 3.3-V outputs eliminate external level-shifting components in hybrid voltage systems |
| Live insertion support | Robust input/output clamp structure (±50 mA) and controlled power-up sequencing prevent bus contention during hot-plug events |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP) | <0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V ensures signal integrity on shared ground planes with high-speed digital loads |
| High latch-up immunity | Exceeds 500 mA per JEDEC JESD-17 - critical for industrial environments with ESD-prone connectors and long cables |
| Unregulated battery operation | Functional down to 2.7 V VCC enables direct integration into portable equipment with aging or variable battery sources |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Legacy System Bus Translator |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVT240PW | No 5-V input tolerance; VIH/VIL specified only for 3.3-V logic levels; lower IOL (32 mA) | Suitable only in pure 3.3-V systems; cannot replace SN74LVTT240PWLE in mixed-voltage designs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs mixed-voltage flexibility and drive strength requirements |
| 74ALVC240PW | Lower ICC (2.5 mA active), but no 5-V input tolerance and reduced latch-up rating (200 mA) | Limited to low-power, single-supply 3.3-V applications; unsuitable for industrial backplanes or hot-swap use | Choose for battery-powered portable devices where ultra-low static current is prioritized over robustness |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the SN74LVTT240PWLE?
The SN74LVTT240PWLE is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This industrial-grade rating ensures reliable functionality in factory automation cabinets, outdoor telecom enclosures, and vehicle-mounted diagnostic tools where thermal cycling and sustained elevated temperatures occur. The device maintains full electrical specifications across this range without derating.
Does the SN74LVTT240PWLE support live insertion in backplane applications?
Yes, the SN74LVTT240PWLE supports live insertion due to its robust input/output clamp structure (±50 mA), high latch-up immunity (>500 mA per JESD-17), and controlled power-up behavior. When OE is tied to VCC via a pullup resistor, outputs remain in high-impedance until supply stabilizes - preventing bus contention during hot-plug events in modular rack systems.
Can the SN74LVTT240PWLE accept 5-V inputs while powered from a 3.3-V supply?
Yes, the SN74LVTT240PWLE accepts 5-V input signals with VCC = 3.3 V. Its input voltage range extends to 7 V, and VIH is specified at 2 V - enabling direct connection to 5-V TTL logic without external level shifters. This mixed-mode capability is explicitly validated in the SCES005 datasheet under recommended operating conditions.
What is the output drive strength of the SN74LVTT240PWLE at 3.3-V supply?
At VCC = 3.3 V, the SN74LVTT240PWLE delivers 64 mA sink current (IOL) and –32 mA source current (IOH) per output. These values are confirmed in the "Electrical Characteristics" table of the SCES005 datasheet and ensure compatibility with standard TTL loads and fan-out of ≥10 LS-TTL inputs without signal degradation.
Which package type does the SN74LVTT240PWLE use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The SN74LVTT240PWLE uses a 20-pin Thin Shrink Small-Outline Package (TSSOP, PW) with 0.65 mm lead pitch and 4.4 mm × 6.5 mm body dimensions. While the original SCES005 datasheet predates RoHS, TI's current manufacturing process for PW-packaged ABT logic devices complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU - verified via TI's official product change notices and material declarations.
