The device features eight channels with a maximum propagation delay of 31.0 ns. It supports a low-level output current of -1.00 mA. The component functions across a temperature range from -55°C to 125°C. It is housed in a surface-mount SOIC-20 package measuring 12.8 mm in length, 7.52 mm in width, and 2.35 mm in height.

Feature Summary

• Octal configuration providing eight independent signal paths for data transmission
• High-speed performance capability suitable for demanding digital logic applications
• Wide operating temperature range ensuring stability in extreme environmental conditions

Applications

• Bus-oriented communications systems requiring high-speed data transfer
• Clock drivers for distributing timing signals across multiple components
• Memory address decoding circuits utilizing true output polarity

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'M' corresponds to the SOIC-20 surface mount package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free certification requirements against current manufacturer specifications. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact pinout and electrical characteristics defined in the official datasheet to prevent integration errors during procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal buffer with true output polarity is required. The HCT series ensures compatibility with standard TTL logic levels while maintaining CMOS power efficiency. Verify that the 31.0 ns propagation delay meets system timing constraints. Ensure the SOIC-20 package dimensions fit the available PCB real estate and thermal management requirements.

Part Context

This device belongs to the Texas Instruments 74HCT logic family, designed for high-speed CMOS operation. It serves as a critical interface component in digital systems, facilitating signal buffering and line driving. The octal architecture allows for efficient handling of wide data buses, making it suitable for complex integrated circuit designs requiring robust signal integrity.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 74HCT241 variants from different manufacturers to ensure pin-to-pin compatibility. Verify that substitute parts maintain identical electrical parameters, specifically the 4.5V to 5.5V supply range and 31.0 ns delay. Check for equivalent packaging options if surface mount constraints differ.
