SN74LVTH241NSRE4

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74LVTH241NSRE4 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 tolerance. The device features non-inverting logic with two independent 4-bit sections controlled by separate output-enable inputs (1OE, 2OE). Electrical characteristics include a typical propagation delay of 2.3 ns at 3.3 V, low-level output current of 64 mA, and high-level output current of -32 mA. It incorporates active bus-hold circuitry and provides Ioff and power-up 3-state support for hot-insertion applications.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'E4' corresponds to lead-free packaging and RoHS compliance as per Texas Instruments standards. Confirm the SOIC-20 package designation matches the required PCB footprint. Ensure the tape and reel quantity aligns with manufacturing requirements. Cross-reference the specific revision level against the latest datasheet SCAS352K to confirm electrical parameter consistency.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring octal buffering with 3.3-V logic levels and 5-V input tolerance. The LVTH series is suitable for applications needing low static power consumption and high drive capability. Consider the separate output enables for managing bidirectional data flow or bus contention. Verify thermal performance within the specified operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74LVTH241 family of octal buffers/drivers. It is functionally similar to other variants like SN74LVTH241DW or SN74LVTH241PWR, differing primarily in package type and manufacturing lot specifications. The 'E4' suffix typically indicates environmental compliance and lead finish variations within the standard industrial grade product line.
