Texas Instruments 20-SOIC SN74BCT240DW

The SN74BCT240DW is a buffer/inverter IC manufactured by Texas Instruments (TI) from their 74BCT series. It operates at a voltage range of typically 5V, and comes in a 20-pin SOIC package. This device functions as an octal buffer with three-state outputs, suitable for driving or isolating digital signals. It can be used to interface between devices with different output drive requirements or for bus-oriented applications where high fanout capability and controlled signal transmission are necessary.
