SN74AS241ADWR

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74AS241ADWR is an octal buffer and line driver from the Texas Instruments AS logic series, housed in a 20-pin SOIC package. It features non-inverting outputs with three-state capability. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Key electrical parameters include a propagation delay of 6.2 ns, high-level output current of -15 mA, and low-level output current of 64 mA. It supports through-hole mounting styles and functions reliably across an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Provides eight non-inverting signal paths for bus driving applications

• Memory address buffering
• Clock distribution circuits
• Bus-oriented communications

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ADWR' confirms the SOIC-20 surface-mount package variant rather than the PDIP version. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in official documentation. Ensure the ordering code matches the exact manufacturer part number to avoid pinout or speed discrepancies.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when bipolar speed is required over CMOS alternatives. Compare against SN74ALS241 variants if lower power consumption is critical, noting the difference in technology family. Verify that the 6.2 ns delay meets the timing requirements of the target digital interface.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74AS241A family of octal buffers. It serves as a high-speed alternative to standard 74-series logic. The AS designation indicates Advanced Schottky technology, offering faster switching speeds compared to LS or ALS counterparts while maintaining compatible logic levels.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

SN74AS241DW is a verified equivalent in the same SOIC-20 package. SN74ALS241ADWR offers similar functionality but utilizes ALS technology.
