74VCX16240
Low Voltage 16-Bit Inverting Buffer/Line Driver with
3.6V Tolerant Inputs and Outputs
General Description
The VCX16240 contains sixteen inverting buffers with 3-
STATE outputs to be employed as a memory and address
driver, clock driver, or bus oriented transmitter/receiver.
The device is nibble (4-bit) controlled. Each nibble has sep-
arate 3-STATE control inputs which can be shorted
together for full 16-bit operation.
The 74VCX16240 is designed for low voltage (1.65V to
3.6V) V
CC
applications with I/O capability up to 3.6V.
The 74VCX16240 is fabricated with an advanced CMOS
technology to achieve high speed operation while maintain-
ing low CMOS power dissipation.

Note 1: To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power
down, OE should be tied to V
CC
through a pull-up resistor; the minimum
value of the resistor is determined by the current-sourcing capability of the
driver.

Functional Description
The 74VCX16240 contains sixteen inverting buffers with 3-
STATE outputs. The device is nibble (4 bits) controlled with
each nibble functioning identically, but independent of each
other. The control pins may be shorted together to obtain
full 16-bit operation.The 3-STATE outputs are controlled by
an Output Enable (OE
n
) input. When OE
n
is LOW, the out-
puts are in the 2-state mode. When OE
n
is HIGH, the stan-
dard outputs are in the high impedance mode but this does
not interfere with entering new data into the inputs.

Conditions
(Note 4)
Note 2: The Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which
the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. The device should not be
operated at these limits. The parametric values defined in the Electrical
Characteristics tables are not guaranteed at the Absolute Maximum Rat-
ings. The "Recommended Operating Conditions" table will define the condi-
tions for actual device operation.
Note 3: I

AC Electrical Characteristics

P
F, add approximately 300 ps to the AC maximum specification.
Note 9: Skew is defined as the absolute value of the difference between the actual propagation delay for any two separate outputs of the same device. The
specification applies to any outputs switching in the same direction, either HIGH-to-LOW (t
OSHL
) or LOW-to-HIGH (t
OSLH
).
