‡ Stresses beyond those listed under "absolute maximum ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under "recommended operating conditions" is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

These SN74ALS241C octal buffers/drivers are designed specifically to improve the performance and density of 3-state memory address drivers, clock drivers, and bus-oriented receivers and transmitters. The designer has a choice of selected combinations of inverting and noninverting outputs, symmetrical active-low output-enable (OE) inputs, and complementary OE and OE inputs. These devices feature high fan-out and improved fan-in.The -1 version of SN74ALS241C is identical to the standard version, except that the recommended maximum I_OL of the -1 version is 48 mA. There is no -1 version of the SN54ALS241C.

The SN54ALS241C and SN54AS241A are characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of 55°C to 125°C. The SN74ALS241C and SN74AS241A are characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.
