Product Description

The SN74BCT241DW is part of the BCT family of logic devices, which are known for their high drive and low input capacitance. It features eight buffers and line drivers with 3-state outputs to ensure that multiple devices can share a common bus line without interference. Each buffer has a separate output-enable (OE) input, which controls whether the device is driving the output or whether the output is in the high-impedance state.

The device operates over a broad voltage range from 4.5V to 5.5V and provides guaranteed output current of up to 64mA, making it suitable for driving high-capacitive loads. With a propagation delay time of only 4 ns (max), the SN74BCT241DW ensures fast signal transmission, which is essential for high-speed applications.

The SN74BCT241DW is available in a surface-mount SOIC-20 package, which makes it ideal for compact PCB layouts. Its operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C ensures reliability across various environmental conditions. This device is a perfect choice for designers looking for a buffer/line driver that can provide both high-speed and high-drive capabilities in their digital systems.
