Description
74LS242 – Octal Buffers and Line Drivers With 3-State Outputs
Description
The SNx4LS24x, SNx4S24x octal buffers and line drivers are designed specifically to improve both the performance and density of three-state memory address drivers, clock drivers, and bus-oriented
receivers and transmitters. The designer has a choice of selected combinations of inverting and noninverting outputs, symmetrical, active-low output control (G) inputs, and complementary output-control
(G and G) inputs. These devices feature high fan-out, improved fan-in, and 400-mV noise margin. The SN74LS24x and SN74S24x devices can be used to drive terminated lines down to 133 Ω.
Features

3.3-V or 2.5-V Logic Inputs
• Maximum tpd of 15 ns at 5 V
• 3-State Outputs Drive Bus Lines or Buffer Memory
Address Registers
• PNP Inputs Reduce DC Loading
• Hysteresis at Inputs Improves Noise Margins
