It's the kind of part you'd find sprinkled across a dense PCB as a signal conditioner or a bus-isolation gate — one channel, one bit, doing one job. The 1.65V to 5.5V supply range means it can sit on a 1.8V FPGA bank or a 5V legacy bus without a level translator, and the 32mA symmetric output drive is enough to light a small LED or drive a short backplane trace. But the real story here is the package: a 5-bump DSBGA measuring 1.4x0.9mm, which is tiny enough that rework requires a hot-air station with a fine nozzle and steady hands. The lifecycle record marks this part obsolete. Procurement now relies on surplus and broker channels. ## Sourcing reality: quoted to order, not on the shelf Because the SN74LVC1G240YEPR is obsolete, you won't find it in regular distribution stock. It's sourced through independent channels — broker inventory, surplus lots, or NOS (new old stock) from contract manufacturers who overbought. Every lot needs a quick authenticity check: the DSBGA package is easy to counterfeit with a re-marked die, so verify the top-mark laser etch and compare against TI's known good units. No stock promises, no lead-time numbers — just a real-world sourcing picture for a part that's no longer in production.","metaTitle":"SN74LVC1G240YEPR 74LVC Buffer, Inverting, 3-State","metaDescription":"Texas Instruments SN74LVC1G240YEPR single-gate inverting buffer with 3-state output, 32mA drive, 1.65V-5.5V supply, 5-DSBGA package.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Interface & Transceivers"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Texas Instruments","Series":"74LVC","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","Input Type":"-","Logic Type":"Buffer, Inverting","Output Type":"3-State","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"5-XFBGA, DSBGA","Product Status":"Obsolete","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Voltage - Supply":"1.65V ~ 5.5V","Number of Elements":"1","Base Product Number":"74LVC1G240","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~85°C(TA)","Supplier Device Package":"5-DSBGA (1.4x0.9)","Current - Output High, Low":"32mA, 32mA","Number of Bits per Element":"1"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.1900","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/193862ed40841a5ad1228a09077964bf.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icboms.com/api/mcp/products/SN74LVC1G240YEPR/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is SN74LVC1G240YEPR obsolete?","answer":"Yes, the SN74LVC1G240YEPR is listed as obsolete.

However, the base function — a single-gate inverting buffer with 3-state output in the 74LVC family — is a standard logic cell. A pin-compatible active alternative may exist from TI or another vendor in a similar DSBGA-5 package. You would need to verify the bump layout against the 5-DSBGA (1.4x0.9mm) footprint of this part."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/SN74LVC1G240YEPR","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/SN74LVC1G240YEPR when reusing this data.
