74AC241SCX

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The onsemi 74AC241SCX 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 24mA output drive capability and utilizes a 20-Lead Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package. Propagation delays are specified at 9.0ns maximum for 3.3V operation and 7.5ns maximum for 5.0V operation under a 50pF load.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer origin, as the datasheet indicates Fairchild Semiconductor authorship while the model prefix suggests onsemi lineage. Confirm that the SOIC package dimensions match the M20B JEDEC standard. Ensure the component meets the required logic family specifications for your target application before procurement.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal buffer with high-density PCB requirements is needed. It is suitable for applications requiring 3-STATE control over eight independent channels. Consider the AC logic family characteristics regarding input thresholds and propagation delay relative to system timing constraints.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the 74AC logic family, which offers higher speed and wider voltage operation compared to older 74LS series devices. The 74AC241 variant specifically provides octal buffering with tri-state functionality, distinguishing it from unidirectional buffers without output enable controls.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers FAQ

What is the function of the OE1 and OE2 pins?

OE1 and OE2 are 3-STATE Output Enable inputs that operate at active HIGH levels to control the state of the outputs.

Does the 74AC241 have TTL-compatible inputs?

No, the 74AC241 does not have TTL-compatible inputs; only the 74ACT241 variant features TTL-compatible inputs.
