74LVC241APW,118

Overview

The 74LVC241APW,118 is an octal non-inverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs manufactured by NXP USA Inc. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.2 V to 3.6 V and features Schmitt trigger inputs for tolerance to slow rise/fall times. The device provides 5 V tolerant inputs and outputs, allowing direct interfacing with 5 V logic in mixed-voltage environments. It is housed in a TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1) and supports operating temperatures from -40 °C to +125 °C.

Feature Summary

• Provides 5 V tolerant inputs and outputs for safe interfacing with 5 V logic systems
• Features Schmitt trigger action at all inputs to ensure high tolerance for slower input signal transitions
• Maintains high-impedance state when powered down or disabled via dedicated output enable inputs

Applications

• Translating signals between mixed 3.3 V and 5 V logic environments
• Driving bus lines in digital communication systems
• Buffering data paths requiring high noise immunity

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '118' corresponds to the TSSOP20 package variant during procurement. Confirm that the required temperature range includes the extended upper limit of +125 °C, as this specific part number is rated for that range. Ensure design compatibility with the 1.2 V to 3.6 V supply voltage specifications before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal buffer with 3-state control is required for mixed-voltage applications. It is suitable for designs needing direct interface with 5 V devices while operating on lower supply voltages. Consider the TSSOP20 package constraints and the specified temperature range when evaluating thermal management requirements for the target application.

Part Context

This component belongs to the 74LVC series of logic integrated circuits. It functions as an octal buffer/line driver, distinct from single-bit drivers like the 74LVC2G241. The device is designed for low-power CMOS consumption and complies with JEDEC standards for various supply voltage ranges, ensuring broad compatibility in standard digital logic designs.

Replacement Considerations

The 74LVC241AD is a pin-compatible alternative available in an SO20 package. Verify package dimensions and thermal characteristics when substituting, as the body width differs between TSSOP20 and SO20 variants.
