SCLS871B July 2021 – August 2024 SN74HCS240
PRODUCTION DATA
The SN74HCS240 can be used to drive signals over relatively long traces or transmission lines. A series damping resistor placed in series with the transmitter’s output can be used to reduce ringing caused by impedance mismatches between the driver, transmission line, and receiver. The figure in the Application Curve section shows the received signal with three separate resistor values. Just a small amount of resistance can make a significant impact on signal integrity in this type of application.
