DM74ALS1240A Octal 3-STATE Bus Driver
September 1986
Revised February 2000
DM74ALS1240A
Octal 3-STATE Bus Driver
General Description
These octal 3-STATE bus drivers are designed to provide
the designer with flexibility in implementing a bus interface
with memory, microprocessor, or communication systems,
and are low power dissipation versions of the
DM74ALS240A and DM74ALS241A. The output 3-STATE
gating control is organized into two separate groups of four
buffers. The DM74ALS1240A control inputs symmetrically
enable the respective outputs when set logic LOW. The 3-
STATE circuitry contains a feature that maintains the buffer
outputs in 3-STATE (high impedance state) during power
supply ramp-up or ramp-down. This eliminates bus glitch-
ing problems that arise during power-up and power-down.

Note 1:
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 ratings.
The “Recommended Operating Conditions” table will define the conditions
for actual device operation.
