DM74AS240 • DM74AS244 3-STATE Bus Driver/Receiver
DM74AS240 • DM74AS244
3-STATE Bus Driver/Receiver
General Description
This family of Advance Schottky 3-STATE Bus circuits are
designed to provide either bidirectional or unidirectional
buffer interface in Memory, Microprocessor, and Communi-
cation Systems. The output characteristics of the circuits
have low impedance sufficient to drive terminated trans-
mission lines down to 133Ω. The input characteristics of
the circuits likewise have a high impedance so it will not
significantly load the transmission line. The package con-
tains eight 3-STATE buffers organized with four buffers
having a common 3-STATE enable gate. The DM74AS240
and DM74AS244 are eight wide in a 20 pin package, and
may be used as a 4 wide bidirectional or eight wide unidi-
rectional. The buffer selection includes inverting and non-
inverting, with enable or disable 3-STATE control.
Features

pation compared with Schottky counterpart
■ Functional and pin compatible with 74LS and Schottky
counterpart
■ Switching response specified into 500Ω and 50 pF
■ Specified to interface with CMOS at V
