The 74HC241 is a high-speed CMOS octal buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs. It consists of eight non-inverting buffers/drivers designed to be employed as memory address drivers, clock drivers, and bus-oriented transmitters/receivers. The device features two output enable (OE) inputs, each controlling four outputs, providing the capability to drive bus lines or buffer memory address registers. The 3-state outputs make it ideal for driving bus lines in bus-organized systems.
