General Description
The VHC240 is an advanced high speed CMOS octal
bus buffer fabricated with silicon gate CMOS technology.
It achieves high speed operation similar to equivalent
Bipolar Schottky TTL while maintaining the CMOS low
power dissipation. The VHC240 is an inverting 3-STATE
buffer having two active-LOW output enables. This
device is designed to drive buslines or buffer memory
address registers.
An input protection circuit ensures that 0V to 7V can be
applied to the input pins without regard to the supply
voltage. This device can be used to interface 5V to 3V
systems and two supply systems such as battery
backup. This circuit prevents device destruction due to
mismatched supply and input voltages.
Ordering Information
Surface mount packages are also available on Tape and Reel. Specify by appending the suffix letter “X” to the
ordering number. Pb-Free package per JEDEC J-STD-020B.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be
operable above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended.
In addition, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability.
The absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only.
Recommended Operating Conditions
(1)
The Recommended Operating Conditions table defines the conditions for actual device operation. Recommended
operating conditions are specified to ensure optimal performance to the datasheet specifications. Fairchild does not
recommend exceeding them or designing to absolute maximum ratings.
Note:
1. Unused inputs must be held HIGH or LOW. They may not float.

AC Electrical Characteristics
Notes:
3. Parameter guaranteed by design. tOSLH = |tPLHmax – tPLHmin|; tOSHL = |tPHLmax – tPHLmin|
4. CPD is defined as the value of the internal equivalent capacitance which is calculated from the operating
current consumption without load. Average operating current can be obtained by the equation:
ICC (opr.) = CPD • VCC • fIN + ICC / 8 (per bit).
