the sn54act16240 and 74act16240 are 16-bit buffers or line drivers designed specifically to improve both the performance and density of 3-state memory address drivers clock drivers and bus-oriented receivers and transmitters. the devices can be used as four 4-bit buffers two 8-bit buffers or one 16-bit buffer. these devices provide inverting outputs and symmetrical active-low output-enable (oe\) inputs. the 74act16240 is packaged in ti s shrink small-outline package which provides twice the i/o pin count and functionality of standard small-outline packages in the same printed-circuit-board area. the sn54act16240 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of -55c to 125c. view all in datasheet
