74LVC2G241DC,125

Overview

The Nexperia 74LVC2G241DC,125 is a dual non-inverting buffer and line driver featuring 3-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 for partial power-down applications. It complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-7, JESD8-5, and JESD8-B/JESD36.

Feature Summary

• Dual non-inverting buffer/line driver with independent 3-state outputs controlled by active LOW and active HIGH enable inputs.
• Schmitt trigger action at all inputs provides high tolerance for slower input rise and fall times.
• IOFF circuitry disables outputs to prevent damaging backflow current during partial power-down conditions.

Applications

• Mixed 3.3 V and 5 V logic environments
• Partial power-down applications
• Bus interface applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code 74LVC2G241DC,125 against the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm the SOT765-1 VSSOP8 package type. Ensure that the application requirements align with the specified operating temperature range and electrical characteristics before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact dual buffer solution with 3-state control is required. The VSSOP8 package offers a small footprint suitable for space-constrained designs. Verify compatibility with system voltage levels, as the device accepts inputs up to 5.5 V while operating from supplies as low as 1.65 V.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LVC2G241 series of dual buffers. The 'DC' suffix specifically denotes the VSSOP8 plastic very thin shrink small outline package (SOT765-1). Other variants in the series include TSSOP8, XSON8, and XSON8 packages, offering flexibility for different board layout requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 74LVC2G241 function and VSSOP8 package. Check datasheets for equivalent parts from other manufacturers to ensure pinout compatibility and identical electrical specifications, particularly regarding 3-state control logic and voltage tolerances.

FAQ

How are the 3-state outputs controlled?

Output 1Y is controlled by 1OE (active LOW), and Output 2Y is controlled by 2OE (active HIGH). A HIGH level on 1OE or a LOW level on 2OE causes the respective output to assume a high-impedance OFF-state.

What is the purpose of the IOFF circuitry?

The IOFF circuitry allows the device to be used in partial power-down applications by disabling the output to prevent damaging backflow current through the device when it is powered down.
