SN74S241DWR

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74S241DWR is an octal buffer and line driver from the Texas Instruments SN74S series, featuring three-state outputs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V. The device provides a high-level output current of -15 mA and a low-level output current of 64 mA. Typical propagation delay is 18 ns at nominal voltage. It functions in a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C and is housed in a 20-pin SOIC package.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DWR' indicates the tape-and-reel packaging format compatible with automated assembly processes. Confirm that the component meets RoHS directives if required by your manufacturing standards. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with your system's thermal environment specifications before finalizing procurement.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when driving large capacitive loads or long traces due to its high low-level sink current capability. It is suitable for systems requiring moderate speed performance with Schottky technology benefits. Consider the SN74LS241 variant if lower power consumption is prioritized over switching speed, or the SN74AS241 for faster performance requirements.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74S (Schottky) logic family, known for balanced speed and power dissipation compared to standard TTL. It complements the SN74S240 (inverting) and SN74S244 (octal, non-inverting) variants within the same series, providing designers with flexible options for bidirectional and unidirectional bus interfacing.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The SN74S241DW is the tube-packaged equivalent of the DWR variant. Cross-family replacements include the SN74LS241 for lower power applications or the SN74AS241 for higher speed requirements, though pinouts and electrical characteristics may differ.
