74AHC2G241DC,125

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The Nexperia 74AHC2G241DC,125 is a dual buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs housed in an 8-lead VSSOP package (SOT765-1). 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 features CMOS input levels, overvoltage tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V, and symmetrical output impedance. Static characteristics include a maximum low-level output voltage of 0.55 V at 8.0 mA drive current and a maximum high-level output voltage drop of 0.55 V under the same conditions.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Dual non-inverting buffers with independent active-low and active-high output enables for precise control
• Overvoltage tolerant inputs allow safe interfacing in mixed-voltage environments without external resistors
• High noise immunity and balanced propagation delays ensure reliable signal integrity
• ESD protection exceeds 2000 V per Human Body Model and 1000 V per Charged Device Model

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Bus interface applications requiring 3-state buffering
• Mixed-voltage translation between different logic families
• Line driving for high-speed digital signals

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type, as the DC suffix denotes the VSSOP8 variant. Confirm that the procurement channel sources directly from authorized Nexperia distributors to ensure product authenticity and traceability. Check the latest datasheet revision for any updates to marking codes or pin configurations before finalizing design integration.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact dual buffer solution is needed for 2.0 V to 5.5 V systems. The AHC series offers faster switching speeds compared to standard HC logic while maintaining CMOS power consumption. Ensure the application requires separate enable controls for each buffer channel, as the device provides distinct 1OE and 2OE pins rather than a single global enable.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the Nexperia 74AHC/AHCT family of high-speed Si-gate CMOS devices. The 'DC' suffix specifically identifies the plastic very thin shrink small outline package (VSSOP8) with a body width of 2.3 mm. It serves as a modern, space-saving alternative to larger through-hole or standard surface-mount packages for portable and dense electronic designs.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The 74AHCT2G241DC,125 is a compatible alternative if TTL input levels are required instead of CMOS levels. Both share the same VSSOP8 package and functional pinout. Verify that the system supply voltage meets the minimum 4.5 V requirement for the AHCT variant.
