The SN74ACT72241L20RJ is an IC component, specifically a quadruple bus driver with 3-state outputs. It belongs to the ACT family of devices, which offers faster speed compared to the standard TTL logic. This IC is commonly used in digital systems that require high-speed bus driving or signal amplification. Here are some key features of the SN74ACT72241L20RJ:
1. Number of drivers: This IC consists of four independent buffers, each capable of driving up to 20 mA of current. These drivers are designed to handle bidirectional data flow, making them suitable for bus-oriented applications.
2. 3-state outputs: Each driver in the SN74ACT72241L20RJ has a 3-state output with an active high enable (OE) input. This feature allows multiple drivers to share a common bus, reducing the number of bus lines required and simplifying system design.
3. Hysteresis: The IC incorporates a built-in hysteresis circuit that improves noise immunity and reduces unintended signal oscillations. This ensures reliable performance in noisy environments and minimizes signal distortion.
4. Fast switching speed: The SN74ACT72241L20RJ operates at a high-speed, with a typical propagation delay of 5.5 nanoseconds. This rapid switching capability makes it suitable for applications that demand quick signal propagation and synchronization
