SN74HC241NSR

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74HC241NSR 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 utilizes a 20-pin SO (SOP) package.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Organized as two independent 4-bit buffers/drivers with separate output-enable inputs for flexible bus management.
• Provides non-inverted data transmission from A inputs to Y outputs when enabled, entering a high-impedance state otherwise.
• Designed to improve performance and density in 3-state memory address drivers, clock drivers, and bus-oriented receivers.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers FAQ

How are the outputs controlled?

The device has two separate output-enable inputs (1OE and 2OE). When 1OE is low or 2OE is high, the respective buffers pass data. If 1OE is high or 2OE is low, the outputs enter a high-impedance state.

What is the input current characteristic?

The device features low input current, with a maximum value of 1 μA at 6 V supply voltage.
