Product details

What this 74ALS octal buffer does on the bus

The Texas Instruments SN74ALS241CN is a non-inverting buffer with 3-state outputs, organised as two 4-bit elements in a single 20-pin DIP. It sits between a bus and a load, providing signal buffering and the ability to disconnect the outputs (high-impedance state) when the bus is shared.

Through-hole DIP-20 — rework-friendly footprint

This is a legacy package that takes up more board area than a surface-mount SOIC or TSSOP, but it is easy to hand-solder, probe, and rework. The DIP footprint is still widely supported on prototyping boards and legacy PCB layouts.

Temperature grade: indoor equipment only

This limits the part to office equipment, appliances, indoor instrumentation, and similar environments. Not suitable for automotive under-hood, industrial motor drives, or outdoor telecom enclosures without additional thermal management.

Frequently asked questions

Does SN74ALS241CN have 3‑state outputs?

Yes. The output type is 3-State, meaning each output can be driven high, low, or placed in a high-impedance state for bus sharing.
