74LV241PW,118

Overview

The 74LV241PW,118 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 is pin and function compatible with the 74HC241 and 74HCT241 families. The component provides ESD protection exceeding 2000 V according to HBM standards and offers typical output ground bounce of 2 V at 3.3 V.

Feature Summary

• Low-voltage operation optimized for applications ranging from 1.0 V to 3.6 V
• TTL input level acceptance capability between 2.7 V and 3.6 V supply voltages
• High tolerance to slower input rise and fall times due to Schmitt trigger action
• Robust ESD protection exceeding 2000 V via Human Body Model standards

Applications

• Buffering and driving high-capacitance or long transmission lines
• Voltage translation between mixed 3.3 V and 5 V logic environments
• Isolating data buses in microcontroller systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring low-power buffering with 3-state control. Ensure the operating voltage remains within the 1.0 V to 3.6 V range. Consider the TSSOP20 package dimensions if space constraints exist. Verify compatibility with existing 74HC241 footprints if migrating from HC series devices.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LVxx series of low-voltage CMOS logic devices. It serves as a direct replacement for standard voltage buffers in modern low-power digital circuits. The PW suffix indicates the TSSOP20 plastic thin shrink small outline package variant, suitable for surface-mount assembly.

Replacement Considerations

The datasheet confirms pin and function compatibility with the 74HC241 and 74HCT241. Designers may substitute these parts directly if voltage levels and drive requirements are met.
