SN74HC241PWR

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74HC241PWR 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 consumes low power, with a maximum ICC of 80 μA, and exhibits a typical propagation delay of 11 ns. It provides ±6 mA output drive at 5 V and maintains low input current of 1 μA maximum. Packaged in a 20-pin TSSOP, it supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type and suffix against the manufacturer's orderable addendum to ensure compatibility with your board layout. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level ratings prior to assembly. Check for any recent documentation updates or revision history changes that may affect pinout or electrical characteristics. Ensure proper handling precautions are observed due to electrostatic discharge sensitivity.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring octal buffering with tri-state control capabilities. Consider the 2 V to 6 V operating voltage range for compatibility with various logic families. Evaluate the thermal resistance values provided for the TSSOP package if high ambient temperatures are expected. Verify that the required propagation delay and output drive currents meet the system performance specifications.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the SNx4HC241 family of octal buffers and line drivers with 3-state outputs. It is part of Texas Instruments' HC series of CMOS logic devices, designed to improve performance and density in digital circuits. The 'PWR' suffix indicates a specific tape-and-reel packaging format within the TSSOP-20 family, distinct from tube-packaged variants like the PDIP or SOIC versions.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other SN74HC241 variants with different packages such as SN74HC241DW (SOIC) or SN74HC241N (PDIP), provided the pinout and electrical characteristics remain compatible. Cross-reference with the manufacturer's product folder for alternative package options or updated revisions.
