Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers FAQ

What is the input voltage range for the SN74BCT241DWR?

The input voltage range (VI) is specified from -0.5 V to 7 V.

How does the device handle output enable signals?

The device features symmetrical active-low output-enable (OE) inputs. When OE is low, the outputs are enabled; when OE is high, the outputs enter a high-impedance state.
