1. General description

The 74LVT240 is an 8-bit inverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs. The device can be used

as two 4-bit buffers or one 8-bit buffer. The device features two output enables (1OE and 2OE),

each controlling four of the 3-state outputs. A HIGH on nOE causes the outputs to assume a

high-impedance OFF-state. Bus hold data inputs eliminate the need for external pull-up resistors to

define unused inputs.
