Texas Instruments SN74LV8T240/SN74LV8T240-Q1 Octal Buffers/Drivers

Texas Instruments SN74LV8T240/SN74LV8T240-Q1 Octal Inverting Buffers/Drivers contain eight independent inverting line drivers with 3-state outputs. Each channel performs the Boolean function Y = A in positive logic. The channels are grouped into four sets, with one OE pin controlling each. The outputs can be put into a hi-Z state by applying a high on the associated OE pin. 

The Texas Instruments SN74LV8T240-EP devices have gold bond wires, a temperature range of –55 to +105°C, and an SnPb lead finish.

The SN74LV8T240-Q1 is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications.
