Buffer, inverting, 3-state — 32 mA / 64 mA drive in a 48-SSOP
The Texas Instruments SN74LVTH16240DLR is a 74LVTH-series 16-bit buffer with inverting logic and 3-state outputs, packaged in a 48-SSOP (7.50 mm wide body). It operates from a 2.7 V to 3.6 V supply, making it a direct fit for 3.3 V digital buses in industrial control, telecom line cards, and motor-drive interface boards. The four-element, four-bit-per-element architecture gives you independent nibble-wide control over each bank of the bus. Output drive is rated 32 mA source, 64 mA sink — enough to drive a heavily loaded backplane or a bank of optocoupler inputs without external line drivers.
The supply range is specified from 2.7 V to 3.6 V, so the part runs comfortably on a 3.3 V rail with margin for ripple and regulation tolerance. This is the operating envelope that answers the compatibility question: yes, it is designed for 3.3 V systems. The 3-state outputs let you share a data bus across multiple cards or peripherals without contention.
Active lifecycle — no obsolescence concern for new designs
The 74LVTH family is a mature, broadly second-sourced logic series, which helps with multi-source procurement strategy.
