HLF 74HC240 Octal Buffer/Line Driver; 3-State; Inverting – DIP20 | High-Speed CMOS Logic | 2V–6V, –40°C to +85°C | Through-Hole Package

The HLF 74HC240 is a high-speed CMOS octal buffer/line driver with 3-state inverting outputs, designed for efficient data transmission and bus interfacing in digital systems. It features two groups of four buffers, each with its own enable input, providing flexible control and high drive capability for wide bus lines.

Built using High-Speed CMOS (HC) technology, the device delivers low power consumption, fast switching performance, and superior noise immunity. Its three-state outputs allow easy bus-oriented communication by enabling or disabling individual data lines. The DIP20 through-hole package makes it ideal for prototyping, educational setups, and robust industrial circuits.
