9 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

9.1 Application Information

The SNx4LS24x, SNx4S24x octal buffers and line drivers are designed to be used for a multitude of bus interface type applications where output drive or PCB trace length is a concern.

9.2.1 Design Requirements

This device uses Schottky transistor logic technology. Take care to avoid bus contention because it can drive currents that would exceed maximum limits. The high drive creates fast edges into light loads, so routing and load conditions must be considered to prevent ringing.

9.3 System Examples

The SNx4LS240 and SNx4S240 devices can be used to buffer signals along a memory bus. The increased output drive helps data transmission reliability. Figure 24 shows a schematic of this example.

The SNx4LS240 and SNx4S240 devices have two independently controlled 4-bit drivers, and can be used to buffer signals in a bidirectional manner along a data bus. Figure 25 shows the SNx4LS240 or SNx4S240 used in this manner.

The enable pins on the SNx4LS241 and SNx4S241 devices can be used to help direct signals along a shared party-line bus. Figure 26 shows a general configuration of how to implement this structure. Take care to ensure that bus contention does not occur.
