SN74ALS241CNSR

Overview

The SN74ALS241CNSR is an octal buffer and line driver from the Texas Instruments 74ALS series. It features non-inverting logic with three-state outputs in a 20-pin SOIC package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Key electrical parameters include a propagation delay of 11 ns, high-level output current of -15 mA, and low-level output current of 24 mA. It functions across a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides eight non-inverting buffer channels for signal driving applications
• Features three-state outputs to facilitate bus-oriented systems
• Utilizes advanced low-power Schottky (ALS) technology for performance

Applications

• Bus-oriented systems requiring signal buffering
• Memory address drivers
• Clock drivers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CNSR' corresponds to the commercial temperature grade and tape-and-reel packaging format. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributor datasheets before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring the speed of ALS technology combined with lower power consumption than standard LS logic. Ensure the design accommodates the 4.5 V to 5.5 V operating range and the specific drive requirements of the connected loads.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments 74ALS family of bipolar logic devices. It serves as an octal buffer variant within the broader 74-series logic ecosystem, offering a balance between switching speed and power dissipation suitable for general-purpose digital logic applications.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include SN74ALS241CN and SN74ALS241N. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure the replacement matches the required package type and temperature rating.
