These octal buffers and line drivers are designed specifically toimprove both the performance and density of 3-state memory addressdrivers, clock drivers, and bus-oriented receivers and transmitters.Together with the SN54ABT2240, SN74ABT2240A and 'ABT2244A, thesedevices provide the choice of selected combinations of inverting andnoninverting outputs, symmetrical active-low output-enable (
inputs. Thesedevices feature high fan-out and improved fan-in.
The outputs, which are designed to sink up to 12 mA, includeequivalent 25-
seriesresistors to reduce overshoot and undershoot.
To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down,
should be tiedto VCC through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of theresistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of thedriver. OE should be tied to GND through a pulldown resistor; theminimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sourcingcapability of the driver.
The SN54ABT2241 is characterized for operation over the fullmilitary temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. TheSN74ABT2241 is characterized for operation from -40°C to85°C.
