Texas Instruments 20-SOIC SN74LS241DW

The SN74LS241DW is a dual in-line package (DIP) version of the SN74LS241N, which is a 3-state octal buffer/line driver from Texas Instruments (TI). This TTL logic IC features eight independent buffers with three-state outputs that can be controlled by separate enable inputs. It's designed for interfacing between systems with different voltage levels and driving buses or multiple loads. The 'DW' in the part number denotes the SOIC wide package variant (150 mil body width), offering a compact surface-mount solution. With inputs tolerant down to 2V and compatibility with 3.3V or 2.5V logic, it's suitable for various digital circuit applications despite being an older technology compared to modern CMOS parts.
