SN74HC241N

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74HC241N is an octal buffer and line driver with 3-state outputs manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and features high-current outputs capable of driving up to 15 LSTTL loads. The device has a typical propagation delay of 11 ns and low power consumption with a maximum ICC of 80 μA. It provides ±6 mA output drive at 5 V and maintains low input current of 1 μA max. The component is housed in a 20-pin PDIP package.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Octal buffers and line drivers designed for 3-state memory address drivers, clock drivers, and bus-oriented receivers and transmitters.
• Organized as two 4-bit buffers/drivers with separate output-enable inputs for independent control.
• High-current outputs allow driving multiple LSTTL loads while maintaining low power consumption.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number SN74HC241N against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm current production status and package details. Ensure compatibility with required operating conditions, including voltage ranges and temperature specifications, before procurement. Check for any recent revisions or obsolescence notices from Texas Instruments.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring octal buffering with 3-state capabilities. Consider the 2 V to 6 V operating voltage range and the ability to drive LSTTL loads. Evaluate thermal performance and packaging requirements, specifically the 20-pin PDIP option, against board space and assembly constraints.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

The SN74HC241 belongs to the HC (High-speed CMOS) logic family from Texas Instruments. It is part of a series of octal buffers and line drivers that include variants like the SN74HC240. These devices are engineered to improve performance and density in digital systems requiring bus interfacing and signal buffering.
