|---|---|---|---|---|
| FFF Compatibility | Both parts use the 20-pin PDIP (0.300", 7.62mm) footprint with identical pin assignments (only differing in indexing nomenclature of 0-3 vs 1-4).Both devices share the same physical 20-PDIP dimensions and plastic through-hole mounting.The CD74HCT240E operates on the exact same 4.5V to 5.5V supply voltage with TTL-compatible input levels and inverting 3-state output characteristics. | Both devices use the exact same 20-pin PDIP layout and signal-to-pin assignments.Both devices are standard 20-PDIP plastic packages with identical mechanical footprints.The HC series has CMOS-compatible input levels (which require higher logic high thresholds) compared to the HCT series TTL-compatible thresholds, though it supports a wider supply voltage range. | ||
 AI Summary | SN74HCT240N by Texas Instruments: Buffer, Inverting 2 Element 4 Bit per Element 3-State Output 20-PDIP. | The CD74HCT240E is a direct parametric equivalent and drop-in replacement originating from the acquired Harris Semiconductor line. It features identical logical behavior, package footprint, and pinout while expanding the operating temperature range.
| The SN74HC240N is the high-speed CMOS equivalent of the target device. It is a drop-in physical replacement, but uses CMOS logic levels instead of TTL, meaning it requires higher input voltages to register a logical HIGH.

You searched one part. Parter watches your whole BOM.
All your BOM, at once
Parter maps every line to live stock, lead time, lifecycle and compliance data across the entire market — not part by part.
Hear about problems before they hit production
Allocation, EOL and last-time-buy notices surface the moment they appear, not when your buyer's PO bounces.
Qualified replacements in minutes, not days
Every at-risk line gets form-fit-function matches like the ones above — deltas flagged, evidence attached. Review, push to your BOM, and Parter starts watching the new part too.
