1. General description

The 74LVC2G240 is a dual inverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs. The 3-state outputs are

controlled by the output enable inputs 1OE and 2OE. A HIGH level at pins nOE causes the outputs

to assume a high-impedance OFF-state. Schmitt trigger action at all inputs makes the circuit highly

tolerant of slower input rise and fall times.

Inputs can be driven from either 3.3 V or 5 V devices. This feature allows the use of the

74LVC2G240 as a translator in a mixed 3.3 V and 5 V environment.

It is fully specified for partial power-down applications using IOFF. The IOFF circuitry disables the

output, preventing a damaging backflow current through the device when it is powered down.
