Product details
Overview
74LVC2G241DCUTE4 from Texas Instruments is a dual 1-bit noninverting buffer/driver with independent 3-state outputs, designed for bus-oriented receivers and transmitters in 1.65-V to 5.5-V systems. It delivers ±24-mA output drive at 3.3 V, achieves 4.1-ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V, and supports 5.5-V-tolerant inputs - enabling use as a level translator in portable media players and embedded PCs.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC2G241DCUTE4 datasheet, 74LVC2G241DCUTE4 pinout, 74LVC2G241DCUTE4 application, or 74LVC2G241DCUTE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include Ioff-enabled live insertion support, nanosecond-scale enable/disable timing (ten/tdis ≤ 5.7 ns), 3.3-V logic compatibility with 5-V input tolerance, and VSSOP-8 package footprint constraints.
Technical Context
The device implements two independent noninverting buffers, each with dedicated active-low (1OE) and active-high (2OE) output-enable controls. Its CMOS design enables rail-to-rail output swing and supports partial-power-down operation via Ioff circuitry that disables outputs and blocks backflow current when VCC = 0 V.
Functional modes are strictly defined by OE state: when 1OE = L and 2OE = H, Gate 1 passes 1A→1Y; when 1OE = H and 2OE = L, Gate 1 output enters high-impedance state. Input overvoltage tolerance up to 5.5 V allows interfacing with higher-voltage logic without external level shifters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - supports single-supply operation across 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V logic domains |
| Max tpd | 4.1 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - enables high-speed signal redriving in clock distribution and memory address paths |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.3 V - sufficient to drive 50-pF loads with fast edge rates while maintaining signal integrity |
| Ioff Current | ±10 µA at VI/VO = 5.5 V - ensures safe live insertion and back-drive protection during partial power-down |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - allows down-translation from 5-V inputs to lower VCC levels without external components |
| ESD Rating | ±2000 V HBM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for handheld and consumer electronics |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive infotainment and industrial embedded applications |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP-8 (DCU) package: 2.30 mm × 2.00 mm body, 0.5-mm lead pitch, exposed pad not present, RoHS-compliant CU NIPDAU finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A | Input | Noninverting data input for first buffer channel |
| 1OE | Input | Active-low output enable for first buffer; low = enabled, high = high-Z |
| 1Y | Output | Noninverting buffered output of 1A, driven only when 1OE = L and 2OE = H |
| 2A | Input | Noninverting data input for second buffer channel |
| 2OE | Input | Active-high output enable for second buffer; high = enabled, low = high-Z |
| 2Y | Output | Noninverting buffered output of 2A, driven only when 2OE = H and 1OE = L |
| GND | Power | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and I/O structures |
| VCC | Power | Positive supply rail; powers both buffers and I/O cells; must be bypassed with 0.1-µF capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NanoFree™ packaging | Dies-as-packages reduce board space by >50% vs. standard SOIC-8; eliminates bond wires and mold compound |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Prevents damaging current flow during hot-swap or mixed-voltage system power sequencing |
| 5.5-V-tolerant inputs | Enables direct connection to legacy 5-V logic without level-shifting circuitry or voltage dividers |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP) | <0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V - minimizes noise coupling into shared ground planes in dense PCB layouts |
| High noise immunity | VIH/VIL thresholds scale with VCC (e.g., VIH = 0.7×VCC at 4.5–5.5 V), ensuring reliable switching across supply range |
Applications
| Portable Media Players | Digital Video Cameras (DVC) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving high-capacitance display interface lines from a low-power application processor. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal redriver buffering HDMI or MIPI D-PHY control signals between SoC and display controller. Use Value: 4.1-ns propagation delay preserves timing margins; ±24-mA drive sustains signal integrity over 10-cm flex traces. |
Use Scenario: Isolating sensor interface signals during camera power cycling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus driver enabling clean hot-plug detection and sensor reset sequencing. Use Value: Ioff protection prevents backfeed from powered sensors into unpowered SoC domains during partial shutdown. |
| Embedded PCs | Pro Audio Mixers |
Use Scenario: Translating 5-V legacy peripheral control signals (e.g., fan speed, thermal sensor alerts) to 3.3-V microcontroller GPIOs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level translator and noise-immune signal conditioner for system management buses. Use Value: 5.5-V input tolerance eliminates external resistive dividers; 0.35×VCC VIL threshold ensures robust low-level recognition at 1.65-V min VCC. |
Use Scenario: Buffering digital audio clock signals (e.g., I²S MCLK) between FPGA and codec ICs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-jitter clock driver maintaining signal edge fidelity across noisy analog sections. Use Value: <0.8 V ground bounce reduces jitter injection into adjacent ADC/DAC clock domains; 3.3-V operation matches FPGA I/O standards. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC2G240DCUTE4 | Inverting output polarity on both channels; identical timing, drive, and voltage specs | Required where signal inversion is needed in bus isolation or complementary control paths | Select when functional inversion is required; otherwise, 74LVC2G241DCUTE4 provides noninverting behavior with same footprint |
| 74LVC2G125DCUTE4 | Single OE control (active-high) for both buffers; no separate 1OE/2OE pins; identical VCC range and drive | Simpler enable control but lacks independent gating per channel - unsuitable for asymmetric bus arbitration | Choose for cost-sensitive designs needing unified enable; avoid when independent channel control is mandatory |
Compared with SN74LVC2G240DCUTE4 and 74LVC2G125DCUTE4, the 74LVC2G241DCUTE4 uniquely supports per-channel 3-state control with mixed-polarity enables - critical for dynamic bus sharing in multi-master embedded systems where one channel must remain active while the other is tri-stated.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the 74LVC2G241DCUTE4?
The 74LVC2G241DCUTE4 is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This extended range is validated per JEDEC JESD78 latch-up testing and supports deployment in under-hood automotive infotainment modules and industrial control enclosures where thermal management is constrained.
Does the 74LVC2G241DCUTE4 support live insertion in backplane applications?
Yes, the 74LVC2G241DCUTE4 supports live insertion via its Ioff circuitry, which limits off-state current to ±10 µA when VCC = 0 V and inputs/outputs are biased to 5.5 V. This prevents damaging back-current flow during hot-swap events in modular computing or telecom line cards.
Can the 74LVC2G241DCUTE4 translate 5-V signals to a 1.8-V system?
Yes - the 74LVC2G241DCUTE4 accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, and its outputs swing rail-to-rail between GND and the applied VCC. When VCC = 1.8 V, it safely translates 5-V inputs to 1.8-V-compatible outputs without external components.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for the 74LVC2G241DCUTE4 VCC pin?
A 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor placed within 2 mm of the VCC pin is recommended per TI's layout guidelines. For systems with multiple 74LVC2G241DCUTE4 devices or high-frequency noise sources, paralleling a 1-µF capacitor improves broadband decoupling effectiveness across 10 kHz–100 MHz.
How does the 74LVC2G241DCUTE4 differ from the SN74LVC2G241DCTRE4?
The 74LVC2G241DCUTE4 uses a VSSOP-8 (DCU) package (2.30 mm × 2.00 mm), while the SN74LVC2G241DCTRE4 uses SM8 (DCT, 2.95 mm × 2.80 mm). Both share identical electrical specifications, pinout, and marking "C41R", but DCU offers 30% smaller footprint and tighter lead pitch for high-density PCBs.
