The maximum operating frequency of the SN74AC241N is 50 MHz, but it can vary depending on the load capacitance and the output current.
To ensure signal integrity, use a low-impedance output driver, keep the output traces short, and use a termination resistor to match the impedance of the transmission line.
Yes, the SN74AC241N is compatible with 5V systems, but ensure that the input voltage does not exceed 5.5V to prevent damage to the device.
The power consumption of the SN74AC241N depends on the operating frequency, input voltage, and output current. Typically, it consumes around 20-30 mA at 5V and 10 MHz.
To handle thermal issues, ensure good airflow around the device, use a heat sink if necessary, and avoid operating the device at high temperatures (above 85°C) for extended periods.
