Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SN74AC241NE4 used for?
The SN74AC241NE4 is an 8-channel non-inverting bus driver with 3-state outputs, used to buffer and drive data bus signals in microprocessor systems, memory interfaces, and digital logic designs requiring bus isolation with active-low/high enable control.
What logic family does the SN74AC241NE4 belong to?
The SN74AC241NE4 belongs to the AC (Advanced CMOS) logic family, which offers high-speed switching performance, low quiescent power consumption, and noise immunity superior to older TTL logic families.
What is the load capacitance rating of the SN74AC241NE4?
The SN74AC241NE4 is rated for a load capacitance of 50 pF, ensuring reliable signal integrity and drive capability when connected to multiple bus loads or long PCB traces in digital logic systems.
What package does the SN74AC241NE4 come in?
The SN74AC241NE4 is available in a 20-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package) through-hole package, which is ideal for prototyping on breadboards and for wave-solder production assembly in industrial and consumer electronics.
How does the output enable work on the SN74AC241NE4?
The SN74AC241NE4 features two output enable pins: one active-low and one active-high, allowing flexible control of the 3-state outputs. When either enable is deasserted, all outputs go to high-impedance state, enabling safe bus sharing among multiple drivers.
