The SN74HC241N is an integrated circuit (IC) component commonly used in electronic devices for signal buffering and line driving applications. This IC belongs to the 74HC family, which signifies its compatibility with 5V supply voltage.
Key Features:
1. Octal Buffer/Line Driver: The SN74HC241N acts as an octal buffer and line driver, which means it is capable of driving eight individual signals simultaneously. Each buffer in the IC has separate enable (OE) inputs, allowing independent control over each buffer.
2. 3-state Outputs: The outputs of the SN74HC241N are 3-state, meaning they can be in one of three logic states: high, low, or high impedance. The high impedance state allows multiple devices to be connected to a shared bus without causing conflicts.
3. High-Speed Operation: This IC is designed for high-speed operation, making it suitable for various applications that require quick signal transmission and processing. It has a maximum propagation delay of 15 nanoseconds, enabling efficient data transfer.
4. TTL Compatible: The SN74HC241N is TTL (transistor-transistor logic) compatible, meaning it can interface easily with other TTL logic devices. This compatibility enables seamless integration of the IC in existing circuit designs.
5. Wide Operating Voltage Range: The IC can operate with a wide range of supply voltages, from 2V to 6V
