CD74ACT241E Octal Buffer/Line Driver from Texas Instruments

The CD74ACT241E is a high-performance, CMOS octal buffer/line driver designed to provide source or sink current capabilities for bus-oriented applications. Manufactured by Texas Instruments, this device is optimized for use in high-speed memory decoders, data transmission systems, and other applications requiring high current drive and minimal propagation delay times.

This integrated circuit features eight non-inverting buffers/line drivers with 3-state outputs. The 3-state functionality allows for connection to a bus without affecting the bus activity, making it ideal for bidirectional data flow with individual output control. This is particularly useful in applications where multiple devices share a common bus and require isolation during inactive periods.

Key Features:

• Logic Type: Octal Buffer/Line Driver with 3-state outputs.
• Bus Hold: No bus hold feature, which reduces the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors.
• Logic Family: ACT.
• Logic Series: 74ACT.
• Supply Voltage Range: 4.5V to 5.5V, compatible with TTL levels.
• Output Drive Capability: Capable of driving up to 24mA at the outputs.
• Propagation Delay Time: Fast propagation delay times minimize transition delays.
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C, suitable for industrial applications.
• Package: Standard PDIP-20 package for through-hole mounting.

The CD74ACT241E is designed with an emphasis on flexibility and performance, featuring symmetrical output impedance, high noise immunity, and low power consumption. Its robustness and reliable operation in extreme conditions make it an excellent choice for critical communication systems and high-speed interfacing requirements.

Whether you are designing a complex data system or simply need a reliable buffer for your digital signals, the CD74ACT241E from Texas Instruments is a component that offers both quality and performance, ensuring your designs are efficient, reliable, and capable of meeting the demands of modern electronic applications.
