74ABT241CMTCX

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74ABT241CMTCX is an octal buffer and line driver featuring three-state outputs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The device is housed in a 20-TSSOP package with dimensions of 0.173 inches (4.40mm) width. It consists of two non-inverting elements, each handling four bits, designed for memory and address driving applications.

• Address bus buffering
• Clock signal distribution

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as ON Semiconductor acquired Fairchild's logic business. Confirm the datasheet corresponds to the ABT series specifications rather than HC or other variants. Ensure the TSSOP-20 package matches the design footprint requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by assembly standards.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal, non-inverting buffer with three-state capability is required at 5V logic levels. The ABT series offers faster switching speeds compared to standard 74HC devices. Ensure the application does not require higher voltage tolerance or different pinout configurations found in similar 74xx series parts.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the 74ABT family of high-speed CMOS logic devices. It serves as a buffer/driver variant within the broader 74xx logic ecosystem. Similar parts include the 74ABT240 (inverting) and 74ABT244 (octal, different control). The CMTCX suffix indicates the TSSOP package and tape-and-reel packaging format.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 74ABT241 from other manufacturers such as NXP or TI, provided they offer identical pinouts and electrical characteristics. Verify that alternative sources maintain the same 4.5V-5.5V supply range and TSSOP-20 package dimensions.
