Working Principles

The SN74F241N is a non-inverting buffer with tri-state outputs. It operates by amplifying and buffering the input signals, allowing them to be transmitted to the output pins. The tri-state outputs provide an additional control feature, enabling the device to be effectively disconnected from the bus when not in use. This allows multiple devices to share the same bus without interfering with each other.
