74LVC2G241GN,115

Overview

The Nexperia 74LVC2G241GN,115 is a dual non-inverting buffer and line driver featuring three-state outputs housed in an XSON8 package (SOT1116). It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 5.5 V and supports input voltages up to 5 V. The device includes Schmitt trigger inputs for noise immunity and IOFF circuitry for partial power-down protection. It functions as a translator between 3.3 V and 5 V logic levels.

Feature Summary

• Dual non-inverting buffers with independent three-state output control via dedicated enable pins.
• Schmitt trigger action at all inputs provides high tolerance for slow rise and fall times.
• Integrated IOFF circuitry disables outputs to prevent damaging backflow current during power-down.
• Capable of interfacing directly with TTL levels and translating between mixed 3.3 V and 5 V environments.

Applications

• Mixed 3.3 V and 5 V logic level translation
• Partial power-down applications requiring backflow prevention
• Bus interface buffering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix GN against the required SOT1116 package dimensions. Confirm that the application environment remains within the specified -40 °C to +125 °C temperature range. Ensure supply voltage does not exceed the absolute maximum ratings defined in the datasheet limiting values section.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact dual buffer solution is needed for low-voltage systems. The XSON8 package offers space efficiency compared to larger packages. Verify compatibility with system voltage levels, specifically noting the 5 V tolerant input capability for interfacing with higher voltage logic sources.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LVC family of logic ICs manufactured by Nexperia. It is designed for low-power CMOS applications requiring wide supply voltage flexibility. The product data sheet revision 18 confirms the specifications for this dual buffer configuration.

Replacement Considerations

Other variants within the 74LVC2G241 series utilize different packages such as TSSOP8 (DP), VSSOP8 (DC), or alternative XSON8 types (GT, GS). These share identical electrical characteristics but differ in physical footprint and pinout orientation.
