8-ch, 4.5-V to 5.5-V bipolar buffers with 3-state outputs

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.
