74ACT241SC

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74ACT241SC is an octal buffer and line driver featuring three-state outputs, housed in a 20-SOIC package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, with inputs compatible with TTL logic levels. The device provides high drive capability, sourcing and sinking up to 24mA per output. Designed for improved printed circuit board density, it functions as a memory address driver, clock driver, or bus-oriented transmitter/receiver.
