CD74HC241M96

Overview

The CD74HC241M96 is an octal buffer and line driver with three-state outputs manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the HC logic series and operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V. The device features eight non-inverting inputs and corresponding outputs, housed in a 20-pin SOIC package. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum high-level output current of -7.8 mA and a low-level output current of 7.8 mA. It maintains a static current of 8 µA and supports operating temperatures from -55 °C to +125 °C.

Feature Summary

• Provides tri-state control for eight independent data lines
• Supports wide supply voltage operation from 2 V to 6 V
• Ensures reliable performance across extended industrial temperature ranges

Applications

• Bus-oriented memory and address drivers
• Clock distribution circuits
• Data register buffering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '96' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm packaging configuration. Ensure the selected component matches the required RoHS compliance status and lead time requirements for your production schedule. Cross-reference the datasheet revision history to validate pinout compatibility before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring octal bus driving capabilities with high-impedance states. Consider the HC series speed and power consumption trade-offs relative to HCT or AHC alternatives. Verify that the SOIC-20 footprint aligns with the PCB layout constraints and thermal management strategies employed in the target application design.

Part Context

This part is part of the CD74HC family of high-speed CMOS logic devices produced by Texas Instruments. The family offers compatibility with standard TTL logic levels while providing improved switching speeds and lower power dissipation compared to older HC variants. The M96 suffix typically denotes specific tape-and-reel packaging configurations intended for automated surface-mount assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the CD74HC241M and SN74HC241N depending on package preference. Verify functional equivalence regarding propagation delay and output drive strength before swapping components.
