Bus transceiver for 5 V legacy buses
The Fairchild MM74HCT640WM is a bus transceiver from the 74HCT logic family, designed for bidirectional asynchronous data transfer between two buses. It accepts TTL input levels while operating at a standard 5 V supply, making it a direct drop-in for 5 V legacy systems that need to interface with CMOS logic.
That means no last-time-buy scramble, no forced redesign for a replacement.
Sourcing and fit for production BOMs
For a production BOM that already carries this 74HCT bus transceiver, the active status means supply continuity without redesign.
