Product details
Overview
74HCT241N,652 from Nexperia is an octal non-inverting 3-state buffer/line driver with dual independent output enables (1OE active LOW, 2OE active HIGH), operating at 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply voltage, delivering ±6 mA output drive, and supporting −40 °C to +125 °C industrial temperature range - used for bidirectional bus interfacing in microcontroller peripheral expansion and memory address/data buffering.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT241N,652 datasheet, 74HCT241N,652 pinout, 74HCT241N,652 application, or 74HCT241N,652 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max), propagation delay of 11 ns typical at 5 V/15 pF, 3-state enable/disable timing (ten = 15 ns, tdis = 18 ns), and SO20 (SOT163-1) package compatibility with legacy 74-series layouts.
Technical Context
The 74HCT241N,652 implements two independent 4-bit non-inverting buffer sections, each controlled by a dedicated 3-state enable: 1OE (pin 1, active LOW) governs outputs 1Y0–1Y3 (pins 12,14,16,18), while 2OE (pin 19, active HIGH) controls 2Y0–2Y3 (pins 3,5,7,9). Inputs feature clamp diodes enabling safe interface to voltages exceeding VCC when current-limiting resistors are used.
Its TTL-level input compatibility (VIH ≤ 2.0 V, VIL ≥ 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) ensures direct connection to legacy 5 V TTL logic without level-shifting, while CMOS output structure provides rail-to-rail swing and high noise immunity (typical HNM = 0.9 V at VCC = 5 V). Static current consumption remains below 160 μA over full temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - matches standard 5 V TTL systems; avoids undervoltage lockout or overvoltage stress |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - guarantees reliable recognition of TTL logic levels without external biasing |
| Output Drive | ±6 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive 10 LSTTL loads or 15 pF capacitive bus lines |
| Propagation Delay | 11 ns typical (VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF) - supports 30+ MHz bus toggle rates in synchronous interfaces |
| Enable Timing | ten = 15 ns max, tdis = 18 ns max - ensures clean bus arbitration with minimal glitch window during state transitions |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive control modules and industrial PLC backplanes |
| ESD Robustness | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - withstands handling and board-level ESD events without latch-up or parameter shift |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT241N | TI part; identical pinout, same TTL input thresholds and 5 V operation; propagation delay 13 ns typical (vs. 11 ns) | Valid drop-in replacement where 2 ns timing margin is acceptable; same SO20 package and thermal profile | Select SN74HCT241N only if TI-sourced supply chain or dual-sourcing strategy is required; verify layout compatibility with TI's SO20 land pattern. |
| 74HCT240N,652 | Nexperia inverting variant; same pinout and specs but outputs inverted (1Yn = NOT 1An); 1OE/2OE logic unchanged | Requires logic inversion in upstream firmware or gate-level design; unsuitable for non-inverting data paths without redesign | Choose 74HCT240N,652 only when signal polarity inversion is intentionally required - e.g., active-LOW enable signaling or complementary bus driving. |
Compared with SN74HCT241N and 74HCT240N,652, the 74HCT241N,652 offers the fastest propagation delay (11 ns) among pin-compatible octal buffers and is the only non-inverting option in Nexperia's SO20-packaged HCT family, making it optimal for timing-critical data path extensions.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the 74HCT241N,652?
The 74HCT241N,652 has an absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) of +7.0 V per its limiting values table, but the recommended operating range is strictly 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Operating above 5.5 V risks violating input/output voltage limits and may cause accelerated parametric drift or latent failure; sustained use beyond 5.5 V voids warranty and violates JEDEC JESD7A compliance.
Does the 74HCT241N,652 support operation at 3.3 V supply?
No, the 74HCT241N,652 is not specified for 3.3 V operation. Its input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) and output drive characteristics are validated only within 4.5 V to 5.5 V. At 3.3 V, VIH exceeds 70% of VCC, causing unreliable HIGH recognition; use 74HC241N,652 instead for 2.0–6.0 V flexible supply operation.
How are the two output enable inputs (1OE and 2OE) logically configured on the 74HCT241N,652?
On the 74HCT241N,652, 1OE (pin 1) is active LOW - outputs 1Y0–1Y3 enter high-impedance state when 1OE = HIGH. 2OE (pin 19) is active HIGH - outputs 2Y0–2Y3 enter high-impedance state when 2OE = LOW. This asymmetry allows independent control of two 4-bit bus segments using complementary enable logic without external inverters.
Can the 74HCT241N,652 drive a 50 pF load at 25 MHz without signal degradation?
Yes, the 74HCT241N,652 maintains 11 ns typical propagation delay and <18 ns disable time into 50 pF loads per its dynamic characteristics table. With 6 mA drive strength and 3.5 pF input capacitance, it delivers clean edges (tt < 12 ns) and settles within 1.5 UI at 25 MHz, provided VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 50 pF, and proper PCB layout (short traces, ground plane, local decoupling).
Is the 74HCT241N,652 qualified for automotive applications?
The 74HCT241N,652 is rated for −40 °C to +125 °C operation and meets JEDEC JESD7A, but it is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Nexperia explicitly states in its legal disclaimers that non-automotive qualified products like the 74HCT241N,652 are not tested to automotive reliability standards and carry no warranty for use in safety-critical vehicle systems.
