SN74LVT241DWR

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74LVT241DWR is an octal buffer and line driver manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the LVT logic series. It features eight non-inverting inputs with three-state outputs, designed for high-speed bus-oriented operations. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V. Key electrical parameters include a propagation delay of 2.6 ns at 3.3 V, a low-level output current of 64 mA, and a high-level output current of -32 mA. It utilizes BiCMOS technology and is housed in a 20-pin SOIC package.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision corresponding to the SN74LVT241DWR part number to ensure alignment with required electrical characteristics and pinout configurations. Confirm that the SOIC-20 package dimensions match the target PCB footprint. Check for any recent manufacturing changes or obsolescence notices from Texas Instruments before finalizing procurement plans.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring octal buffering with three-state outputs operating strictly within the 2.7 V to 3.6 V voltage range. It is suitable for applications demanding higher drive strength than standard CMOS logic, specifically where a 64 mA low-level output current is necessary. Ensure compatibility with the system's clock speeds given the 2.6 ns propagation delay specification.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component is part of the SN74LVTxx family of low-voltage TTL-compatible buffers and drivers. It shares functional similarities with other octal drivers like the SN74LVT240 but differs in polarity; the 241 variant provides non-inverting outputs, whereas the 240 offers inverting options. It serves as a bridge between lower voltage logic domains and standard bus interfaces.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the SN74LVT241PW (TSSOP package) or SN74LVT241DR (SOIC package). Cross-series replacements such as the SN74ACT241 require verification of voltage level compatibility, as ACT devices typically operate at 5 V.
