• Versatile for use in a wide range of applications due to its 3-STATE outputs and TTL compatibility

Additional Details:

The 74ACT841SC features eight transparent latches with 3-STATE outputs. When the Latch Enable (LE) input is HIGH, the Q outputs follow the data (D) inputs. When LE is LOW, the Q outputs are latched until LE returns HIGH. The Output Enable (OE) input controls the 3-STATE outputs. When OE is LOW, the outputs are enabled. When OE is HIGH, the outputs are in the high-impedance state. The device is available in a variety of packages, including SOIC and DIP. Its CMOS design ensures low power consumption and high noise immunity.
