74AHC2G241DC,125

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The 74AHC2G241DC,125 is a dual non-inverting buffer and line driver featuring three-state outputs, manufactured by Nexperia. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 5.5 V and supports an ambient temperature range from -40 °C to +125 °C. The device utilizes a VSSOP8 (SOT765-1) package with 8 leads. Static characteristics include a maximum input leakage current of 2.0 μA at -40 °C to +125 °C and a maximum supply current of 40 μA under specified conditions. Dynamic performance specifies a maximum propagation delay of 11.5 ns at VCC = 3.0 V to 3.6 V with a 15 pF load.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Features overvoltage tolerant inputs capable of handling up to 5.5 V, facilitating operation in mixed-voltage environments.
• Provides symmetrical output impedance and high noise immunity for reliable signal transmission.
• Includes independent active-low and active-high output enable inputs (1OE and 2OE) for precise control of the three-state outputs.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Data bus buffering and line driving applications
• Mixed voltage translation between different logic families
• Memory address and data bus drivers

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DC corresponds to the VSSOP8 package configuration required for your PCB layout. Confirm that the operating environment remains within the specified -40 °C to +125 °C temperature range. Ensure input signals do not exceed the absolute maximum ratings defined in the datasheet to prevent permanent damage. Check for any recent product change notices regarding marking or manufacturing site transfers.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel buffer with independent tri-state control is needed. The AHC series offers CMOS-level input compatibility and low power dissipation compared to older logic families. Consider the AHCT variant if TTL-level input thresholds are required instead of standard CMOS levels. The VSSOP8 package is suitable for space-constrained surface-mount designs.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This device belongs to the Nexperia 74AHC/AHCT2Gxx series of small-signal logic ICs. These components are designed for portable and battery-operated applications due to their wide supply voltage range and low power consumption. The 74AHC2G241 specifically provides dual buffering capabilities within a compact footprint, serving as a fundamental building block for digital signal routing.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The 74AHCT2G241DC,125 is a compatible alternative within the same family, differing primarily in input threshold requirements (TTL vs. CMOS). Other packages such as TSSOP8 (DP suffix) offer pin-compatible physical alternatives if the VSSOP8 footprint is unsuitable for the assembly process.
