74LVC2G240DC,125

Overview

The Nexperia 74LVC2G240DC,125 is a dual inverting buffer and line driver featuring three-state outputs housed in an 8-lead VSSOP package (SOT765-1). It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 5.5 V and supports input voltages up to 5.5 V. The device incorporates Schmitt trigger inputs for noise immunity and includes IOFF circuitry to prevent backflow current during partial power-down states.

Feature Summary

• Dual inverting buffers with independent active-low output enable controls
• Schmitt trigger inputs provide tolerance for slow signal transitions
• Integrated IOFF circuitry prevents damaging backflow currents when powered down
• Inputs accept 5 V levels while the core logic operates at lower voltages

Applications

• Translating signals between mixed 3.3 V and 5 V logic environments
• Driving high-capacitance transmission lines or buses
• Isolating data paths during partial power-down system states

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DC' corresponds to the VSSOP8 plastic very thin shrink small outline package (SOT765-1) rather than other available form factors like TSSOP or XSON. Confirm that the ordering code matches the required temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C. Ensure the component status is listed as production before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact dual inverting buffer with three-state control is required for space-constrained designs. It is suitable for applications needing direct interfacing with TTL levels or 5 V tolerant I/Os. Consider the VSSOP8 package dimensions if board real estate is limited compared to standard TSSOP options.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LVC family of low-voltage CMOS logic devices manufactured by Nexperia. The base type number is 74LVC2G240, which is available in multiple package variants including TSSOP8, XSON8, and VSSOP8. The 'DC' designation specifically identifies the VSSOP8 version within this product series.
