The maximum operating frequency of the SN54HC240J is 50 MHz.
Yes, the SN54HC240J is compatible with 3.3V logic, but it is recommended to use a voltage regulator to ensure a stable 5V supply.
No, it's not recommended to use the SN54HC240J in a 3.3V system without level shifting, as it may not function correctly. A level shifter or voltage translator is recommended to ensure proper operation.
The power consumption of the SN54HC240J is typically around 20-30 mA, depending on the operating frequency and load conditions.
Yes, the SN54HC240J is available in a lead-free package, which is RoHS compliant.
