SN74AS241ADWG4 Octal Buffer/Line Driver

The SN74AS241ADWG4 is a high-performance octal buffer and line driver designed to meet the requirements of high-speed memory drivers, clock drivers, and bus-oriented receivers and transmitters. Manufactured by Texas Instruments, this integrated circuit is part of the Advanced Schottky (AS) logic family, which is renowned for its fast switching speeds and reliable performance.

Key Features

• Logic Type: Octal Buffer/Line Driver with 3-State Outputs
• Number of Channels: 8
• Output Type: 3-State
• Operating Voltage Range: 4.5V to 5.5V
• Output Current: -15mA / 24mA
• Propagation Delay Time: 2.5ns at 5V

The SN74AS241ADWG4 is designed with two separate enable inputs which control four active-high buffers each. This allows for greater flexibility in controlling the flow of data through the device. The 3-state outputs can be placed in a high impedance state, effectively disconnecting the output from the bus or connection. This is particularly useful in bus-oriented systems where multiple drivers can share the same bus lines without interfering with each other.

With fast propagation delay and high current drive capability, this device can handle the demands of high-speed signal transmission with minimal signal degradation. The SN74AS241ADWG4 is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C, ensuring reliable performance across a wide range of environmental conditions.

The SOIC-20 packaging of the SN74AS241ADWG4 makes it compact and suitable for space-constrained applications. It is compatible with other logic families and can be used in mixed-logic environments, providing designers with a versatile solution for their digital systems.

Whether used in computing systems, data communication equipment, or high-speed instrumentation, the SN74AS241ADWG4 from Texas Instruments stands out for its speed, power efficiency, and robustness, making it an essential component for modern electronic designs.
