DM74ALS241AN

Overview

The DM74ALS241AN is a discontinued octal buffer manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor, belonging to the 74ALS logic family. It features two non-inverting buffer elements, each handling four bits, with three-state outputs. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports output currents of 15mA (high) and 24mA (low). It is housed in a 20-pin plastic dual-in-line package (PDIP) suitable for through-hole mounting.

Feature Summary

• Contains two independent non-inverting buffer circuits configured as four-bit elements.

Applications

Procurement Notes

This component is officially obsolete and no longer manufactured. Verification should focus on identifying parameter-equivalent replacements from other manufacturers rather than sourcing new units. Confirm that substitute devices match the original ALS series specifications and pinout compatibility before integration into existing designs.

Selection Notes

Selection is restricted due to the part's end-of-life status. Designers must evaluate alternative sources or equivalent components from different vendors. Ensure any replacement maintains the required 74ALS performance characteristics and physical footprint to avoid redesigning the host circuit board.

Part Context

Fairchild Semiconductor was acquired by onsemi. Consequently, this specific part number may be listed under onsemi catalogs or legacy distributors. The device represents standard TTL-compatible buffering technology designed for high-speed digital signal transmission in older electronic systems.
