SN74ALS241CDW

Overview

The SN74ALS241CDW is an octal buffer and line driver manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the ALS logic series. It features eight non-inverting inputs and outputs with three-state capability, allowing for effective bus-oriented communication. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and is housed in a SOIC-20 surface-mount package. It supports operation across industrial temperature ranges and provides high-speed performance suitable for memory and address buffering applications.

Feature Summary

• Provides tri-state output control for efficient bus management
• Supports non-inverting signal buffering and driving
• Compatible with standard 5V CMOS logic families

Applications

• Memory address and data bus drivers
• Clock drivers and timing buffers
• Bus-oriented architectures requiring isolation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CDW' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical specifications. Ensure the component meets RoHS requirements if applicable to your assembly process. Cross-reference the date code and manufacturing origin to guarantee authenticity and traceability before integration into production lines.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require high-speed octal buffering with low power consumption characteristics typical of the ALS family. It serves as a direct replacement for older LS-series parts where speed improvements are necessary without changing the logic interface or pin configuration.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SNx4ALS24x family of octal buffers and line drivers with 3-state outputs. It shares functional similarities with other members like the SN74LS241 but offers improved switching speeds and lower power dissipation due to its Advanced Low-power Schottky technology.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the SN74ALS241DW and SN74ALS241N. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameters against the original design requirements before swapping.
