74ABT241N,602

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The NXP 74ABT241N,602 is an octal buffer and line driver manufactured using high-performance BiCMOS technology. It features two independent output enables (1OE, 2OE), each controlling four of the 3-State outputs. The device operates within a DC supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports an operating free-air temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Propagation delays are typically 2.6ns for low-to-high transitions and 2.7ns for high-to-low transitions at VCC = 5V with a 50pF load.
