The 74LS series of integrated circuits (ICs) was one of the most popular logic families of transistor-transistor logic (TTL) logic chips. 74LS series is a bipolar, low-power Schottky IC. The 74LS242 is Quad Bus Transmitter/Receivers designed for 4-line asynchronous 2-way data communications between data buses
74LS242 Features
- Hysteresis at Inputs to Improve Noise Immunity
- 2-Way Asynchronous Data Bus Communication
- Input Clamp Diodes Limit High-Speed Termination Effects
