DESCRIPTION
This 16-bit buffer/driver is designed for 1.65-V to
3.6-V VCC operation.
The SN74ALVCH16240 is designed specifically to
improve the performance and density of 3-state
memory address drivers, clock drivers, and
bus-oriented receivers and transmitters.
The device can be used as four 4-bit buffers, two
8-bit buffers, or one 16-bit buffer. It provides inverting
outputs and symmetrical active-low output-enable
(OE) inputs.
To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, OE should be tied to VCC through a pullup
resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.
Active bus-hold circuitry is provided to hold unused or floating data inputs at a valid logic level.
The SN74ALVCH16240 is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C.
