DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION

These 16-bit buffers/drivers are designed specifically for low-voltage (3.3-V) VCC operation, but with the

capability to provide a TTL interface to a 5-V system environment.

The devices can be used as four 4-bit buffers, two 8-bit buffers, or one 16-bit buffer. The devices provide

noninverting outputs and complementary output-enable (OE and OE) inputs.

When VCC is between 0 and 1.5 V, the devices are in the high-impedance state during power up or power down.

However, to ensure the high-impedance state above 1.5 V, OE should be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor

and OE should be tied to GND through a pulldown resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by

the current-sinking/current-sourcing capability of the driver.

Active bus-hold circuitry is provided to hold unused or floating data inputs at a valid logic level.

These devices are fully specified for hot-insertion applications using Ioff and power-up 3-state. The Ioff circuitry

disables the outputs, preventing damaging current backflow through the devices when they are powered down.

The power-up 3-state circuitry places the outputs in the high-impedance state during power up and power down,

which prevents driver conflict.

The SN54LVTH16241 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of –55°C to 125°C.

The SN74LVTH16241 is characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C.
