74LV241DB,112

Overview

The 74LV241DB,112 is an octal non-inverting buffer and line driver featuring 3-state outputs manufactured by NXP USA Inc. It utilizes low-voltage Si-gate CMOS technology and operates within a supply voltage range of 1.0 V to 3.6 V. The device accepts TTL input levels when the supply voltage is between 2.7 V and 3.6 V. It provides two independent groups of four inputs and outputs controlled by active LOW (1OE) and active HIGH (2OE) output enable inputs. The component is housed in a 20-lead SSOP package with a body width of 5.3 mm.

Feature Summary

• Optimized for low-voltage applications ranging from 1.0 V to 3.6 V
• Accepts TTL input levels between VCC = 2.7 V and VCC = 3.6 V
• Provides ESD protection exceeding 2000 V according to HBM standard
• Pin and function compatible with 74HC241 and 74HCT241

Applications

• Memory mapping control
• Clock buffering and distribution
• Bus-oriented transmissions

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code 74LV241DB,112 against the manufacturer's current documentation to ensure compatibility with the SSOP20 package variant. Confirm that the supply voltage requirements align with the system design, as the device supports operation down to 1.0 V. Check for any recent revision history updates that may affect static or dynamic characteristics before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring low-voltage operation and high-speed buffering. It is suitable for systems needing TTL level translation at higher supply voltages while maintaining CMOS efficiency. Ensure the application environment respects the recommended operating temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C. Consider the power dissipation capacitance for dynamic power calculations in high-frequency switching scenarios.

Part Context

This device belongs to the 74LV series of low-voltage CMOS logic components. It serves as a direct replacement for older 74HC and 74HCT octal buffers in modern low-power designs. The 74LV241 offers improved performance characteristics compared to standard CMOS families while maintaining pin compatibility with legacy parts.

Replacement Considerations

The 74LV241DB,112 is pin and function compatible with the 74HC241 and 74HCT241. Designers should verify voltage level compatibility when substituting these parts, particularly regarding input threshold differences at varying supply voltages.
