The 74LCX841MTC is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74LCX family, which is known for its low-voltage CMOS logic functions. It is a 10-bit buffer/driver with 3-STATE outputs, designed to provide high-speed performance while operating at a low power supply voltage. Here is a brief overview and key features of the 74LCX841MTC:
1. Low Voltage Operation: The IC is designed to operate at a low power supply voltage range of 2.3V to 3.6V, making it suitable for portable devices, battery-powered applications, and other low-power systems.
2. High-Speed Operation: The 74LCX841MTC offers fast switching speeds and propagation delays, enabling efficient data transfer in high-speed applications. It is particularly useful in data buses and address drivers that require minimal delay.
3. 10-Bit Buffer/Driver: This IC features ten buffered outputs with 3-STATE functionality, allowing the user to enable or disable the output drivers as needed. It acts as a buffer between the input and output, providing signal amplification and improved driving capabilities.
4. Schottky Diode Clamping Protection: The 74LCX841MTC incorporates internal diode clamping networks that protect the inputs and outputs from voltage spikes beyond the power supply rails. This feature safeguards the IC from potential damage caused by electromagnetic interference or transient voltage fluctuations
