7.1 Overview

The SN74LVC540A contains 8 individual inverting buffers and 3-state outputs.

Each inverter performs the boolean logic function xYn = xAn, with x being the bank number and n being the channel number.

Both output enables (xOE) control all eight inverters. Both xOE pins must be in the low state to activate the inverters. When one or both of the xOE pins are in the high state, the outputs of all inverters are disabled. All disabled outputs are placed into the high-impedance state.

To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, either xOE pin should be tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current sinking capability of the driver and the leakage of the pin as defined in the Electrical Characteristics table.
