10-bit bus driver in the ABT family
The SN74ABT841NT is a 10-bit bus driver from Texas Instruments' ABT series, designed to buffer and drive heavily loaded backplane or memory-array lines where the capacitive load exceeds what a standard logic gate can handle cleanly. The 10-bit width matches a byte-plus-two control signals, so it fits a 16-bit data bus split across two devices or an 8-bit bus with two spare channels for parity or strobe.
The part is RoHS non-compliant, so it is not suitable for new designs requiring RoHS exemption-free compliance; legacy BOMs that already carry the exemption may continue using it.
Supplied in Bulk tube — the standard through-hole DIP footprint that mates with a 0.100-inch pitch socket or solders directly into a plated through-hole board. The 24-pin DIP body sits in the Analog & Data Acquisition category on the storefront, but the device itself is a pure digital bus driver — the category reflects the broader signal-chain grouping, not the logic family.
