It operates from 1.65V to 5.5V, making it suitable for mixed-voltage systems where a 3.3V core interfaces with a 5V peripheral. The output can sink or source 32mA, enough to drive an LED indicator or a small relay coil directly without an external transistor.
Supply voltage flexibility and temperature range
The 1.65V to 5.5V supply range covers common logic rails: 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V.
Output drive and 3-state control
With 32mA output drive in both high and low states, this buffer can switch capacitive loads on a short PCB trace without excessive edge-rate degradation. The 3-state output allows multiple buffers to share a common data line — the output goes high-impedance when the output-enable pin is asserted, preventing bus contention in multiplexed address or data buses.
The SC-70-5 (SOT-353) package has a 2.0mm x 2.1mm body with 0.65mm pin pitch. It is a surface-mount package suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. The small footprint is ideal for dense PCBs where every square millimeter counts, such as in handheld instruments or sensor modules.
There is no single-source risk — the 74LVC1G240 is a standard logic part available from multiple distributors.
