MC74ACT241M

Overview

The MC74ACT241M is an octal buffer and line driver from the onsemi 74ACT logic family. It features three-state outputs designed for driving bus lines or buffering memory address registers. The device provides TTL-compatible inputs and supports output source/sink currents of 24 mA. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and is available in lead-free packages suitable for industrial temperature applications.

Feature Summary

• Three-state outputs facilitate connection to system buses and memory address registers
• TTL-compatible input thresholds ensure interoperability with standard logic families
• High drive capability allows direct interfacing with heavy capacitive loads

Applications

• Memory address drivers in computer systems
• Clock signal distribution networks
• Bus-oriented transmitter and receiver circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure the ordered variant matches the required operating temperature range and RoHS compliance status for the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed octal buffering with three-state control is required. The ACT series offers superior speed compared to standard HC logic while maintaining CMOS power efficiency. Verify that the 24 mA drive current meets the load requirements of the destination circuitry.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74ACT family, which bridges the performance gap between AC and ACT logic standards. It serves as a core building block for digital data transmission paths where signal integrity and bus isolation are critical design parameters.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include MC74ACT241DWG and MC74ACT241DTG. Cross-reference pinouts and electrical characteristics with official datasheets before implementation.
