SN74LVTH241NS

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74LVTH241NS is an octal buffer and line driver from the Texas Instruments LVTH series, housed in a 20-pin SOIC (NS) package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V and supports mixed-mode signal operation with 5-V input and output voltages while powered by 3.3 V. The device features non-inverting logic with two separate output-enable inputs (1OE, 2OE). Electrical characteristics include a typical propagation delay of 2.3 ns at 3.3 V, high-level output current of -32 mA, and low-level output current of 64 mA. It functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix corresponds to the NS package designation for the SOIC-20 form factor. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead finish details via the manufacturer's official documentation or package addendum. Ensure the component meets the required operating temperature range specifications for the intended environment before procurement.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal buffer with 3.3-V operation and 5-V tolerant inputs is required. The LVTH series is suitable for designs needing mixed-voltage interface capabilities. Consider the SOIC package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Verify that the drive strength and propagation delay meet the system timing requirements.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74LVTH241 family of octal buffers/drivers. It is distinct from the inverting SN74LVTH240 variant. The NS suffix specifically denotes the SOIC package type, differentiating it from SSOP (DB), TSSOP (PW), or DIP variants within the same logical family.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers FAQ

Does the SN74LVTH241NS support hot insertion?

Yes, the device includes Ioff and power-up 3-state circuitry that places outputs in a high-impedance state during power up or down, preventing damaging backflow currents.

What is the input voltage tolerance of the SN74LVTH241NS?

The device supports mixed-mode signal operation, allowing it to accept 5-V input signals even when the supply voltage (VCC) is 3.3 V.
