Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DB' corresponds to the 20-pin plastic DIP package configuration required for your design. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated by any trailing environmental codes on the official datasheet. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with your system's thermal requirements before finalizing procurement specifications.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring high drive capability with low power dissipation compared to standard LS logic. The ALS series offers faster switching speeds than standard TTL equivalents. Verify that the 48 mA low-level sink current meets the load requirements of the destination circuitry without exceeding absolute maximum ratings.
