Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as Rochester Electronics is listed as a supplier for this part number variant. Confirm that the TSSOP-20 package and ACT series specifications match the design requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range and voltage limits are compatible with the target system environment before procurement.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal buffer with three-state control is required for 5V logic systems. The ACT series offers faster performance compared to standard LS or HC families. Consider the TSSOP-20 package size for space-constrained PCB layouts. Verify compatibility with existing bus protocols and voltage levels in the application circuit.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component is part of the broader SN74ACT241 family of octal buffers. Similar variants include the SN74ACT241DW (SOIC-20) and SN74ACT241PWR (TSSOP-20). The 'PWLE' suffix typically denotes specific packaging or tape-and-reel configurations within the TSSOP-20 form factor, distinguishing it from other package types in the same logical family.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include SN74ACT241PW and SN74ACT241PWR, which share identical functional specifications and pinouts. For different packages, SN74ACT241DW (SOIC-20) is electrically equivalent. Ensure any replacement maintains the 3-state output capability and ACT series speed characteristics.
