Octal 3-State Inverting Bus Transceiver
High-Performance Silicon-Gate CMOS

The SL74HC640 is identical in pinout to the LS/ALS640. The device inputs are compatible with standard CMOS outputs; with pullup resistors, they are compatible with LS/ALSTTL outputs.
The SL74HC640 is a 3-state transceiver that is used for 2-way asynchronous communication between data buses. The device has an active-low Output Enable pin, which is used to place the I/O ports into high-impedance states. The Direction control determines whether data flows from A to B or from B to A.

 • Outputs Directly Interface to CMOS, NMOS, and TTL
 • Operating Voltage Range: 2.0 to 6.0 V
 • Low Input Current: 1.0 μA
 • High Noise Immunity Characteristic of CMOS Devices
