These octal buffers/drivers are designed specifically to improve
the performance and density of 3-state memory address drivers, clock
drivers, and bus-oriented receivers and transmitters. The designer
has a choice of selected combinations of inverting and noninverting
outputs, symmetrical active-low output-enable () inputs, and complementary OE and
inputs. These
devices feature high fan-out and improved fan-in.
The -1 version of SN74ALS241C is identical to the standard
version, except that the recommended maximum IOL of the -1
version is 48 mA. There is no -1 version of the SN54ALS241C.
The SN54ALS241C and SN54AS241A are characterized for operation
over the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.
The SN74ALS241C and SN74AS241A are characterized for operation from
0°C to 70°C.
