Texas Instruments 20-SOIC SN74HC240IDWRCT

The part number SN74HC240IDWRCT refers to a Texas Instruments-manufactured octal buffer/line driver from the 74HC logic family. This device has eight non-inverting channels with three-state outputs and is housed in an SOIC package. It functions as a high-speed buffer, enabling the transfer of data from its A inputs to Y outputs when the Output Enable (OE) pin is low, and tri-states the outputs when OE is high, effectively isolating the driven circuitry. The "IDWRCT" suffix indicates a specific package type and temperature range suitable for various applications such as bus interfacing, address driving, and clock distribution.
