MC74F241N

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MC74F241N is an octal buffer and line driver from the 74F series, manufactured by onsemi. It features dual four-bit configurations with three-state outputs, designed for memory address driving, clock distribution, and bus-oriented transmission or reception. The device utilizes a 20-pin DIP package and operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V. It supports through-hole mounting and functions across an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The component provides high-speed performance typical of the F-series logic family.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Dual four-bit configuration allows independent control of two separate data paths within a single package.
• Three-state outputs enable direct connection to system buses without additional buffering hardware.
• TTL-compatible inputs ensure seamless interface with standard TTL logic circuits.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer lot codes and date codes upon receipt to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the package matches the specified 20-pin DIP form factor. Check for any physical damage to pins or the housing before integration into the circuit design.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual four-bit buffer with three-state capability is required for bus applications. Ensure the system voltage aligns with the 4.5V to 5.5V operating range. Consider the through-hole packaging requirement if surface-mount alternatives are not suitable for the PCB layout.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the 74F series of high-speed CMOS logic devices. It is functionally similar to other octal buffers like the 74AC241 but offers different speed and power characteristics inherent to the F-series technology. It serves as a critical interface component in digital systems requiring reliable data transmission.
