74LVC2G241DCURG4

Overview

The SN74LVC2G241DCURG4 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 and supports an operating temperature from -40 °C to +85 °C. The device utilizes a VSSOP-8 package with dimensions of 3.00 mm by 1.90 mm. Inputs are compatible with 3.3 V or 5 V devices, enabling translation in mixed-voltage environments. Schmitt trigger action at all inputs provides high tolerance for slower rise and fall times.

Feature Summary

• Dual non-inverting buffer and line driver configuration
• Three-state outputs controlled by independent enable inputs
• Schmitt trigger inputs for improved noise immunity
• Compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V driving devices

Applications

• Mixed 3.3 V and 5 V voltage translation
• High-speed data bus buffering
• Line driving applications requiring three-state control

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including the suffix DCURG4 to ensure correct packaging and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements against specific manufacturing standards. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure alignment with current design parameters and electrical characteristics.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual channel buffering with independent output enable functionality is required. The Schmitt trigger input characteristic makes it suitable for noisy environments or signals with slow transition times. Ensure the system voltage does not exceed the maximum rated limits for both supply and input pins to maintain reliable operation.

Part Context

This device belongs to the SN74LVC2G series of single-gate logic ICs designed for low-voltage CMOS applications. The LVC family offers performance comparable to standard CMOS while consuming significantly less power. The dual configuration allows for space-efficient designs in portable and battery-operated equipment where multiple buffer functions are needed.

Replacement Considerations

The SN74LVC2G241DCTR is a direct functional equivalent from Texas Instruments. Verify that the alternative package variant matches the physical footprint and pinout requirements of the existing PCB layout.
