74AC241PC

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The onsemi 74AC241PC is an octal buffer and line driver featuring non-inverting 3-STATE outputs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0V to 6.0V and supports an operating temperature from -40°C to +85°C. The device provides high drive capability with outputs sourcing and sinking 24mA. Propagation delay is specified at 9ns maximum at 3.3V and 7ns maximum at 5V. Quiescent supply current is typically 4µA, reduced by 50% compared to previous generations.
