Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SN74BCT2241DW and what logic family does it belong to?
The SN74BCT2241DW is an octal buffer and line driver with 3-state outputs from Texas Instruments, belonging to the BCT (BiCMOS) logic family. It combines CMOS low-power inputs with bipolar output drive, supporting TTL-compatible logic levels and operating from a 4.5V to 5.5V supply.
How many channels does the SN74BCT2241DW have and what is the output configuration?
The SN74BCT2241DW features 8 independent buffer channels (octal). All outputs are 3-state (tri-state), controlled by two active-low output enable pins (1OE and 2OE), allowing the device to be disconnected from the bus when not selected, making it suitable for shared-bus designs.
What package does the SN74BCT2241DW come in?
The SN74BCT2241DW is housed in a 20-pin wide SOIC (DW) surface-mount package. This package offers a compact footprint suitable for high-density PCB layouts while providing good thermal performance for bus driver applications.
What are typical applications for the SN74BCT2241DW?
Typical applications include microprocessor data/address bus buffering, memory bus isolation, FPGA I/O expansion, and backplane signal routing. Its 3-state outputs and high drive capability make it ideal for systems where multiple devices share a common data bus, such as industrial controllers and computing peripherals.
