SN74BCT2241DW

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74BCT2241DW is an octal buffer and line/MOS driver featuring dual non-inverting elements, each handling four bits. It utilizes a BCT logic series with CMOS technology in a 20-pin SOIC package. The device provides tri-state outputs for bus-oriented applications. Key electrical parameters include a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V, low static current of 4 uA, and output drive capabilities of -24 mA (high) and 24 mA (low). Propagation delay is typically 8.5 ns at 5 V. Operating temperature spans from -40°C to +85°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Dual-element architecture providing two independent four-bit non-inverting buffers within a single octal configuration.
• Tri-state outputs enable direct connection to bus lines without additional interface hardware.
• BCT technology ensures TTL-compatible inputs while maintaining CMOS noise immunity and low power consumption.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in official documentation. Check for obsolescence notices, as lifecycle status may affect long-term availability. Ensure packaging specifications match design requirements for surface mount assembly.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when dual independent buffering paths are required within an octal system. The BCT series offers a balance of speed and power efficiency suitable for 5V logic systems. Consider the SOIC-20 package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Verify input compatibility with driving source logic levels before integration.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

Part of the Texas Instruments SN74BCT family, designed for high-speed digital applications requiring robust signal integrity. The BCT series combines BiCMOS technology benefits with standard logic interfaces. This specific model serves as a specialized variant offering dual-channel functionality compared to single-channel octal drivers.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

SN74ACT241DW: Octal non-inverting buffer with similar pinout but ACT series characteristics. SN74BCT240DW: Octal inverting buffer; polarity differs. SN74BCT2240DW: Octal non-inverting buffer with single element structure rather than dual.
