74LVC2G241DCTRG4

Overview

The SN74LVC2G241DCTRG4 is a dual non-inverting buffer and line driver featuring three-state outputs, manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 3.6 V. The device incorporates Schmitt trigger inputs at all ports, providing high tolerance for slow rise and fall times. Each output is independently controlled by dedicated output enable inputs (1OE and 2OE), allowing individual high-impedance OFF-state activation. The component is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP package.

Feature Summary

• Dual non-inverting buffer and line driver configuration with independent control
• Three-state outputs managed by separate active-low enable inputs
• Schmitt trigger action on all inputs for improved noise immunity
• Capable of translating signals between 3.3 V and 5 V environments

Applications

• Memory module address and data bus drivers
• Clock distribution and buffering circuits
• Signal translation between mixed 3.3 V and 5 V logic systems
• Portable consumer electronics requiring low power consumption

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including the suffix 'G4' to ensure compliance with lead-free manufacturing standards. Confirm the specific package variant matches design requirements. Check manufacturer documentation for moisture sensitivity level and recommended soldering profiles. Ensure input voltage levels remain within specified limits to prevent damage.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel buffering with tri-state capability is required in space-constrained designs. The Schmitt trigger inputs make it suitable for noisy environments or applications with slow signal transitions. Verify that the operating voltage range aligns with the system's power supply rails. Consider the VSSOP package dimensions for PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This device belongs to the SN74LVC2G series of single-supply CMOS logic integrated circuits. The LVC family is designed for low-voltage digital applications, offering performance comparable to standard 5-V CMOS devices while consuming significantly less power. The dual-buffer architecture allows efficient management of two independent signal paths within a minimal footprint.
