Octal Buffers and Line Drivers With 3-State Outputs

Table of Contents

The 74241 provides Octal Buffers and Line Drivers With 3-State Outputs.

They are organized as two 4-bit buffers and drivers with separate output-enable (G) inputs. When G is low, the device passes data from the A inputs to the Y outputs. When G is high, the outputs are in the high impedance state. Inputs can be driven from either 3.3-V or 5-V devices. This feature allows the use of this device as a translator in a mixed 3.3-V and 5-V system environment. To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, G must be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.
