74LS241P-E

Overview

The HD74LS241P-E is a dual eight-bit buffer and line driver from the Renesas 74LS Series. It operates with a standard 5V supply voltage and features true outputs for each channel. The device includes independent active-low output enable inputs to control data flow direction. It utilizes a 20-pin plastic DIP package, providing through-hole mounting compatibility for general-purpose logic applications.

Feature Summary

• Dual eight-bit configuration for parallel data handling
• Independent active-low output enable controls
• True output polarity for direct signal transmission

Applications

• General-purpose digital logic buffering
• Line driving in 5V logic systems
• Parallel data bus interface circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E' against the official datasheet to confirm environmental compliance or package variations. Ensure the ordering code matches the exact pinout and electrical specifications required for your design. Cross-reference the document revision number to guarantee access to the most current technical parameters and mechanical drawings.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual eight-bit buffer with independent tri-state control is required in a 5V TTL-compatible environment. Consider the 20-pin DIP package constraints for PCB layout. Verify that the load capacitance and drive current requirements align with the LS series specifications before finalizing the design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the long-standing 74LS family of bipolar logic ICs. The series offers high market penetration and a proven track record for standard logic functions. It serves as a foundational component for legacy and robust industrial designs requiring reliable 5V operation.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the SN74LS241 from Texas Instruments and the MC74LS241 from ON Semiconductor. Verify pin compatibility and electrical tolerances before substitution.
