The MC74LCX16240A 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 MC74LCX16240A inputs to be safely driven from 5V devices. The LCX16240A is suitable for memory address driving and all TTL level bus oriented transceiver applications. Current drive capability is 24mA at the outputs. The Output Enable (OEn) inputs, when HIGH, disable the outputs by placing them in a HIGH Z condition.
