SN74HC241N datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN74HC241N Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum frequency of operation for the SN74HC241N?
  The maximum frequency of operation for the SN74HC241N is 50 MHz.
• Can I use the SN74HC241N in a 5V system?
  Yes, the SN74HC241N is compatible with 5V systems, but it's recommended to use a voltage regulator to ensure a stable 5V supply.
• How do I handle the output enable (OE) pin?
  The output enable (OE) pin is active-low, meaning it should be connected to GND to enable the outputs. When OE is high, the outputs are in a high-impedance state.
• What is the propagation delay of the SN74HC241N?
  The propagation delay of the SN74HC241N is typically around 10-15 ns, but this can vary depending on the operating conditions and load capacitance.
• Can I use the SN74HC241N as a level shifter?
  Yes, the SN74HC241N can be used as a level shifter, but it's not recommended as it's not designed for this purpose. Instead, use a dedicated level shifter IC for reliable operation.
