74AHCT241PW,118

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The 74AHCT241PW,118 is an octal buffer and line driver featuring 3-state outputs manufactured by Nexperia. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports TTL input levels. The device provides balanced propagation delays with Schmitt-trigger action on all inputs, which are over-voltage tolerant. It includes ESD protection exceeding 2000 V (HBM) and 1000 V (CDM). The component is available in a TSSOP20 package and functions as two independent 4-bit buffers or one 8-bit buffer.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers FAQ

How does the 74AHCT241 handle mixed voltage environments?

The inputs are over-voltage tolerant, allowing them to accept voltages higher than VCC. This feature enables the device to function effectively as a translator between different voltage domains.

What is the configuration of the output enables?

The device has two output enables: 1OE (active LOW) and 2OE (active HIGH). Each enable controls four of the 3-state outputs independently.
