DM74AS240 • DM74AS244 3-STATE Bus Driver/Receiver
DM74AS240 • DM74AS244
3-STATE Bus Driver/Receiver
General Description
This family of Advance Sc hottky 3-STATE Bus circuits are
designed to provide either bidirectional or unidirectional
buffer interface in Memory, Microprocessor, and Communication Systems. The out put characteristics of the circui ts
have low impedance suffi cient to drive terminated transmission lines down to 133Ω. The input characteristics of
the circuits likewise have a high impedance s o it will not
significantly load the transmission line. The package contains eight 3-STATE buffers organized with four buffers
having a common 3-STATE enable gate. The DM74AS240
and DM74AS244 are eight w ide in a 20 pin package, and
may be used as a 4 wide bid irectional or eight wide un idirectional. The buffer sel ection includes invert ing and noninverting, with enable or disable 3-STATE control.
Features
■ Advanced oxide-isolated, ion-implanted Schottky TTL
process
■ Improved switching per formance with less power dissipation compared with Schottky counterpart
■ Functional and pin compa tible with 74LS and Schottky
counterpart
■ Switching response specified into 500Ω and 50 pF
■ Specified to interface with CMOS at V
OH
= VCC − 2V
Ordering Code:
Devices also availab le in Tape and Reel. Specify by appending th e s uffix let t er “X” to the ordering code.

Absolute Maximum Ratings(Note 1)
Note 1: The “Absolute Maximum Ratin gs” are those v alues beyon d which
the safety of the dev ice cannot be guaranteed. T he device sh ould not be
operated at these limits. The parametric values defined in the Electrical
Characteristics tables are not guaranteed at the absolute maximum ratings.
The “Recommend ed O peratin g Cond itions” t able w ill defin e the co ndition s
for actual device operation.
