Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC2G241GF,115

Overview

74LVC2G241GF,115 from NXP Semiconductors is a dual 1-bit non-inverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, operating from 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply, featuring ±24 mA output drive, 3.7 ns typical propagation delay at 3.3 V, and ESD protection per JESD22-A114 (±4 kV HBM). It is used in bidirectional data bus interfacing between low-voltage logic and mixed-supply systems.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC2G241GF,115 datasheet, 74LVC2G241GF,115 pinout, 74LVC2G241GF,115 application, or 74LVC2G241GF,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include supply voltage range compatibility, 3-state control timing, output drive strength for bus loading, and thermal performance in space-constrained PCB layouts.

Technical Context

This device integrates two independent non-inverting buffers, each with separate output-enable (OE) control. Each channel supports true 3-state operation with high-impedance output when OE is HIGH, enabling shared bus arbitration. Input thresholds are TTL-compatible across the full supply range.

The LVC family ensures rail-to-rail input switching and guaranteed monotonicity. Built-in dynamic power-down prevents current surges during state transitions, and the CMOS structure delivers low static current (max 10 µA at 25 °C).

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the 74LVC2G241GF,115?

The device does not specify a maximum clock frequency, but its 3.7 ns typical propagation delay at 3.3 V and 50 pF load supports reliable operation up to 100 MHz in point-to-point bus configurations. System-level timing depends on trace length, capacitive loading, and termination-designers should verify setup/hold margins using the published AC characteristics table in the official NXP datasheet (Rev. 11, 2022).

Can the 74LVC2G241GF,115 operate with a 1.8 V supply and interface to 5 V inputs?

No. While the device operates down to 1.65 V supply, its inputs are not 5 V tolerant. Inputs exceed absolute maximum rating (V_IN ≤ V_CC + 0.5 V) when driven by 5 V signals at 1.8 V V_CC. For 5 V-to-1.8 V interfacing, use a dedicated level translator such as the NXP NXSL1T45 or TI TXS0102.

Is the OE pin internally pulled up or down?

The OE pin has no internal pull-up or pull-down resistor. It is a high-impedance CMOS input requiring explicit biasing-typically tied to V_CC via a 10 kΩ resistor for active-LOW default disable, or directly to GND for always-enabled operation. Leaving OE floating may cause undefined output states and increased power consumption.

Does the XSON6 package support reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020?

Yes. The 74LVC2G241GF,115 in XSON6 package is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles per JEDEC J-STD-020D, including peak temperatures up to 260 °C for 30 seconds. Its wettable flank design enables reliable solder fillet formation and automated optical inspection of side-wall joints.
