Product details

Two 4-bit buffers with 64 mA sink capability

The Texas Instruments SN74ABT241APW packs two independent non-inverting 4-bit buffers in a single 20-TSSOP package, each with 3-state outputs for bus-oriented designs. The headline number here is the asymmetric output drive: 32 mA source on the high side and 64 mA sink on the low side, which gives you enough current to drive a heavily loaded backplane or a bank of LED indicators without external line drivers.

Rework on a 20-TSSOP — pin 1 is where you expect it

The 20-TSSOP body is 4.40 mm wide with a 0.65 mm pitch — tight enough that a standard chisel tip needs steady hands, but doable with hot air at 300°C and a gentle nudge. The orientation mark is on the top-left corner looking down, pin 1 index at the chamfer. No exposed pad underneath, so you don't have to worry about a hidden thermal slug; just tack the corner pins first, flow the rest with a fine iron, and inspect under a scope. It's a surface-mount part that survives a rework cycle cleanly if you keep the dwell time under 10 seconds per side.

Industrial temperature rating and active lifecycle

RoHS3 compliant per the compliance listing.

The 20-TSSOP footprint is common enough that board layout is straightforward.

Frequently asked questions

Does SN74ABT241APW have 3-state outputs?

Yes, the outputs are 3-state, allowing the buffers to be placed in a high-impedance state for bus sharing.

What are the equivalent parts to SN74ABT241APW?

A close functional equivalent is the SN74ABT2245DW, which is an 8-bit transceiver (non-inverting) with similar 32 mA output drive and 3-state outputs, but in a wider SOIC package and with a different pinout. For a direct pin-compatible replacement, check the TI 74ABT series octal buffers; the SN74ABT241 is the specific dual 4-bit variant.

How does SN74ABT241APW compare to SN74ABT240?

The SN74ABT240 is an inverting octal buffer/line driver, while the SN74ABT241APW is a non-inverting dual 4-bit buffer. If your design needs inverted outputs, the 240 is the choice; for non-inverted, the 241 fits. Both operate on 5 V and offer similar drive strength.
