Low level drive current: 74ALS
=
24mA
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 communi-
cation systems. The output 3-STATE gating control is
organized into two separate groups of four buffers.
The DM74ALS240A control inputs symmetrically enable
the respective outputs when set logic LOW, while the
DM74ALS241A has complementary enable gating.
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 elimi-
nates bus glitching problems that arise during power-up
and power-down.
Ordering Information
Devices also available in Tape and Reel. Specify by appending the suffix letter “X” to the ordering code.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be
operable above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended.
In addition, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability.
The absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only.
Recommended Operating Conditions
The Recommended Operating Conditions table defines the conditions for actual device operation. Recommended
operating conditions are specified to ensure optimal performance to the datasheet specifications. Fairchild does not
recommend exceeding them or designing to absolute maximum ratings.
