Octal Buffers/Drivers With 3-State Outputs

These octal Buffers and Line Drivers are designed specifically to improve both the performance and density of 3-state memory address drivers, Clock Drivers and bus-oriented receivers and transmitters. Together with the SN54ABT240, SN74ABT240A and ABT244A, these devices provide the choice of selected combinations of inverting and noninverting outputs, symmetrical active-low output-enable () inputs, and complementary OE and inputs.
To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, should be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver. OE should be tied to GND through a pulldown resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sourcing capability of the driver.
The SN54ABT241 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of -55?C to 125?C. The SN74ABT241A is characterized for operation from -40?C to 85?C.
