74AC241MTC

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74AC241MTC is an octal buffer and line driver featuring three-state outputs. It operates within a voltage range of 2V to 6V and supports a supply current (ICC) reduction of 50% compared to standard AC series devices. The component provides output drive capabilities of 24mA for both sourcing and sinking currents. It is housed in a 20-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP) with a width of 4.40mm. The device functions across an operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer marking on the component body, as Fairchild Semiconductor products are now managed under ON Semiconductor following their integration. Confirm that the package designation matches the 20-TSSOP form factor and ensure the suffix indicates lead-free compliance if required by your assembly specifications. Cross-reference the ordering number against current ON Semiconductor catalogs to confirm active status and availability.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal buffer with three-state control is required for high-density PCB designs. It is suitable for applications needing TTL-compatible input levels and moderate drive strength. Consider the TSSOP package constraints regarding thermal dissipation and pin pitch. Ensure the system voltage falls within the specified 2V to 6V range for proper operation.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the 74AC family of high-speed CMOS logic devices. It shares functional similarities with other octal buffers like the 74AC244 but differs in output polarity. The MTC suffix specifically denotes the 20-lead TSSOP package variant, distinguishing it from SOIC or DIP packages available in the same logical family.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the MC74AC241MTC from ON Semiconductor. Other compatible options may include the 74ACT241MTC for TTL-level compatibility or the 74HC241MTC for lower speed requirements, provided pinouts and electrical characteristics align with the design constraints.
