The IN74HCT240A is identical in pinout to the LS/ALS240. The IN74HCT240A may be used as a level converter for interfacing TTL or NMOS outputs to High Speed CMOS inputs.
This octal inverting buffer/line driver/line receiver is designed to be used with 3-state memory address drivers, clock drivers, and other bus oriented systems. The device has inverting outputs and two active-low output enables.

• TTL/NMOS Compatible Input Levels
• Outputs Directly Interface to CMOS, NMOS, and TTL
• Operating Voltage Range: 4.5 to 5.5 V
• Low Input Current: 1.0 µA
