74AHC241D,118

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The 74AHC241D,118 is an octal buffer and line driver featuring 3-state outputs manufactured by Nexperia. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 5.5 V and supports ambient temperatures from -40 °C to +125 °C. The device provides balanced propagation delays with typical values of 8.4 ns at 3.6 V (CL=15 pF) and 5.4 ns at 5.5 V (CL=15 pF). Inputs are overvoltage tolerant, allowing operation in mixed-voltage environments.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Features two independent output enables for controlling separate groups of 3-state outputs
• Includes Schmitt-trigger action on all inputs for noise immunity
• Inputs accept voltages higher than the supply voltage for level translation
• Provides high electrostatic discharge protection exceeding specified thresholds

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Translating signals between different voltage domains
• Driving bus lines with controlled impedance
• Isolating data paths using high-impedance states

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Nexperia due to the business transition from NXP Standard Products. Confirm the package type matches the SO20 specification (SOT163-1) and ensure the temperature grade covers the required operational range up to +125 °C before finalizing procurement.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal buffer with independent control over two halves of the bus is required. Ensure the application utilizes CMOS input levels compatible with the AHC series. Verify that the load capacitance requirements align with the specified dynamic characteristics for the target operating voltage.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context
