74AHC241BQ,115

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The 74AHC241BQ,115 is an octal buffer and line driver manufactured by Nexperia (formerly NXP Standard Products). It features non-inverting 3-state outputs and operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 5.5 V. The device includes two independent output enable inputs: 1OE (active LOW) and 2OE (active HIGH), allowing flexible control over the four outputs associated with each input group. Inputs are overvoltage tolerant, enabling operation in mixed-voltage environments. The component is housed in a DHVQFN20 package.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Features balanced propagation delays for consistent signal timing across all channels.
• All inputs incorporate Schmitt-trigger action to improve noise immunity against slow input transitions.
• Inputs accept voltages higher than the supply voltage (VCC), facilitating use as level translators.
• Provides ESD protection exceeding 2,000 V under Human Body Model testing.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Buffering memory address and data buses in computing systems
• Driving high-capacitance loads on communication lines
• Level translation between different voltage domains in mixed-signal circuits

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix ',115' corresponds to the specific DHVQFN20 tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Confirm the manufacturer origin, as the product was transferred from NXP to Nexperia; datasheets may retain legacy branding while the physical components are produced by Nexperia. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives applicable to your region before finalizing procurement orders.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal buffer with independent dual-group control is required. The AHC logic family offers CMOS-compatible input levels suitable for modern digital interfaces. Verify that the operating temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C meets environmental requirements. Consider the DHVQFN20 package dimensions if board space is constrained compared to standard SO or TSSOP packages.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the 74AHC241 series of octal buffers/line drivers. It shares functional similarities with the 74AHCT241 but differs in input threshold characteristics, as the AHC variant utilizes CMOS input levels rather than TTL levels. The 'BQ' designation specifically identifies the DHVQFN20 thermal-enhanced package variant within the broader product family.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The 74AHCT241BQ,115 serves as a direct functional substitute within the same package, provided the system supports TTL input thresholds instead of CMOS levels. Other 74AHC241 variants in different packages (e.g., SO20 or TSSOP20) offer identical electrical performance but require footprint adaptation.
