Nexperia USA Inc. 74AUP2G241GN,115

Overview

74AUP2G241GN,115 from Nexperia is a dual non-inverting 3-state buffer/line driver in XSON8 (SOT1116) package, operating from 0.8 V to 3.6 V supply. It features independent active-low and active-high output enables (1OE, 2OE), Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, IOFF circuitry for partial power-down protection, and input-disable functionality. Used in low-power I/O expansion, bus isolation, and level-translating signal routing in portable and battery-powered systems.

For engineers reviewing the 74AUP2G241GN,115 datasheet, 74AUP2G241GN,115 pinout, 74AUP2G241GN,115 application, or 74AUP2G241GN,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low ICC (≤1.4 μA max), dual asymmetric enable logic (1OE active LOW, 2OE active HIGH), guaranteed operation at −40 °C to +125 °C, and compatibility with 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic domains.

Technical Context

This device implements two independent non-inverting buffers with high-impedance 3-state outputs controlled by separate enable inputs: 1OE (active LOW) and 2OE (active HIGH). Schmitt-trigger inputs ensure robust operation across slow-rising/falling signals and full VCC range (0.8–3.6 V).

The IOFF circuit prevents backflow current during partial power-down, while input-disable behavior (1A disabled when 1OE = HIGH; 2A disabled when 2OE = LOW) eliminates floating-input leakage. All static and dynamic parameters are fully specified over −40 °C to +125 °C.

FAQ

What is the function of the asymmetric enable inputs (1OE active LOW, 2OE active HIGH)?

This configuration allows independent control of two bus segments using complementary logic levels - for example, enabling one channel with a processor's active-LOW chip select while using an active-HIGH signal from a status register to enable the second. It avoids external inverters and simplifies FPGA or MCU GPIO allocation in space-constrained designs.

Can 74AUP2G241GN,115 operate reliably at 0.8 V supply?

Yes - all specifications including propagation delay (20.6 ns max), VIH/VIL thresholds, and ICC (≤1.4 μA) are fully guaranteed at 0.8 V and −40 °C to +125 °C. The Schmitt-trigger inputs maintain ≥150 mV hysteresis at this voltage, ensuring noise immunity in ultra-low-voltage energy-harvesting systems.

How does the IOFF feature protect during partial power-down?

When VCC = 0 V, the IOFF circuit disables both outputs and isolates all I/O terminals. This prevents current from flowing backward through the device - for instance, from a live 3.3 V bus into a powered-down 1.8 V domain - eliminating latch-up risk and meeting IEC 61000-4-2 system-level ESD robustness requirements.

Is the XSON8 (SOT1116) package compatible with standard reflow profiles?

Yes - the 74AUP2G241GN,115 in SOT1116 uses standard SnAgCu solder paste and complies with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1). Its 0.35 mm height and wettable flanks support automated optical inspection (AOI) and reliable void-free reflow on fine-pitch PCBs.
