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. 74LS640 octal bus transceivers are designed for asynchronous two-way communication between data buses The devices transmit data from the A bus to the B bus or from the B bus to the A bus depending upon the level at the direction control (DIR) input

74LS640 Features
- Designed for Asynchronous two-way Communication between Data Buses
- Enable Input for Disabling the Device
- 3-State Outputs Drive Bus Lines Directly
- Operating Temperature up to 70°C
- Standard TTL Switching Voltages
