74AHC241PW,118

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The 74AHC241PW,118 is an octal buffer and line driver featuring three-state outputs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 5.5 V. The device contains two output enables (1OE and 2OE), allowing configuration as two 4-bit buffers or one 8-bit buffer. Inputs are overvoltage tolerant, accepting voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of the supply voltage. The component is specified for ambient temperatures from -40 °C to +125 °C and utilizes a TSSOP20 package.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Features balanced propagation delays for consistent signal timing across all channels.
• All inputs incorporate Schmitt-trigger action to ensure clean switching transitions.
• Inputs accept voltages higher than the supply voltage, enabling use in mixed-voltage environments.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Memory module address and data bus buffering
• Clock distribution and buffering
• Driving capacitive loads in high-speed digital circuits

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current documentation to confirm package type and temperature range. Confirm that the intended application environment falls within the specified operating conditions. Ensure input signals do not exceed the absolute maximum ratings defined in the datasheet to prevent permanent damage to the device.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal buffer with three-state capability is required. The overvoltage-tolerant inputs allow direct interfacing between different logic families without additional level shifting components. Consider the TSSOP20 package constraints regarding thermal dissipation and board space requirements during the design phase.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the 74AHC family of high-speed CMOS logic devices. It serves as an octal buffer/line driver variant within the broader standard logic portfolio. The PW suffix indicates the TSSOP20 plastic thin shrink small outline package. The device provides bidirectional data flow control suitable for system architecture designs requiring bus isolation.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The 74AHCT241PW,118 is a compatible alternative within the same series offering TTL-compatible input levels instead of CMOS levels. Both variants share identical pinouts and functional descriptions but differ in input threshold specifications.
