POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 1 SN54ALVTH16240, SN74ALVTH16240 2.5-V/3.3-V 16-BIT BUFFERS/DRIVERS WITH 3-STATE OUTPUTS SCES138A – JULY 1998 – REVISED JANUARY 1999 description (continued) The devices can be used as four 4-bit buffers, two 8-bit buffers, or one 16-bit buffer. The devices provide inverting outputs and symmetrical active-low output-enable (OE) inputs. When VCC is between 0 and 1.5 V, the device is 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; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver. Active bus-hold circuitry is provided to hold unused or floating data inputs at a valid logic level. The SN54ALVTH16240 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of –55°C to 125°C. The SN74ALVTH16240 is characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C.
