The MC74LCX16240 is a high performance, inverting 16bit buffer operating from a 2.7 to 3.6V supply. The device is nibble controlled. Each nibble has separate Output Enable inputs which can be tied together for full 16bit operation. High impedance TTL compatible inputs significantly reduce current loading to input drivers while TTL compatible outputs offer improved switching noise performance. A VI specification of 5.5V allows MC74LCX16240 inputs to be safely driven from 5V devices. The LCX16240 is suitable for memory address driving and all TTL level bus oriented transceiver applications.
