Buffer with 3-state control — what the 24 mA drive means for your bus
The SN74AC241DWR is a 74AC-series non-inverting buffer from Texas Instruments, organized as two 4-bit elements with independent output-enable controls. The 3-state outputs let multiple buffers share a common bus — the high-impedance state disconnects the output when the element is not selected, eliminating bus contention on multiplexed address or data lines.
