SN74AC241PWR

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74AC241PWR is an octal buffer and line driver from the Texas Instruments SN74AC series, housed in a TSSOP-20 surface-mount package. It features non-inverting logic with three-state outputs, operating within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. The device provides high drive capability with low-level output currents of 24 mA and high-level output currents of -24 mA. Propagation delay is specified at 8.5 ns, supporting operation across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Octal configuration providing eight independent non-inverting signal paths
• Three-state output architecture enabling bus-oriented system designs
• High current drive capability for direct interface with loads

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Bus-oriented architectures requiring signal buffering
• Clock drivers for distributing timing signals
• Memory address and data register drivers

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PWR' corresponds to the TSSOP-20 package and reel packaging format. Confirm the manufacturer date code and lot traceability requirements against project specifications. Ensure ESD handling protocols are followed during assembly due to CMOS input sensitivity.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal buffer with three-state control is required for 5V logic systems. Compare propagation delay and drive strength against alternative AC or ACT series devices if tighter timing or different voltage compatibility is needed. Verify pinout compatibility with existing PCB footprints before finalizing the design.
