1. General description

The 74ABT16240A is a 16-bit inverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs. The device can be

used as four 4-bit buffers, two 8-bit buffers or one 16-bit buffer. The device features four output

enables (1OE, 2OE, 3OE and 4OE), each controlling four of the 3-state outputs. A HIGH on nOE

causes the outputs to assume a high-impedance OFF-state. This device is fully specified for

partial power down applications using IOFF. The IOFF circuitry disables the output, preventing the

potentially damaging backflow current through the device when it is powered down.
