Automotive-grade octal buffer with inverted 3-state outputs
The 74HCT240D-Q100,118: Each of the two 4-bit elements provides inverted buffering with independent output-enable controls, and the 3-state outputs allow bus-oriented designs where multiple drivers share a common line. The 6mA sink and source capability at both high and low output levels is typical for HCT logic and interfaces cleanly with standard CMOS or TTL inputs on the same 5V rail.
Package and mounting — wide-body SOIC for 5V bus buffering
The wide-body footprint is common for octal buffer/driver ICs and provides adequate creepage for 5V rails in automotive environments. The 20-SO package code confirms the standard JEDEC outline; no exposed pad or thermal slug is present, so power dissipation is limited to the package's inherent capability — stay within the 6mA per-output limit for continuous operation.
