Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC2G241GT,115

Overview

74LVC2G241GT,115 from Nexperia 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 up to 8 kV HBM - used in bidirectional data bus interfacing for portable consumer electronics.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC2G241GT,115 datasheet, 74LVC2G241GT,115 pinout, 74LVC2G241GT,115 application, or 74LVC2G241GT,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include voltage-level translation capability between 1.8 V and 3.3 V domains, low dynamic power consumption (0.5 µA max ICC at 3.3 V), and guaranteed 3-state isolation during power-down sequencing.

Technical Context

This device integrates two independent non-inverting buffers, each with active-low 3-state control (OE̅), enabling bidirectional bus control without external direction logic. Each channel supports rail-to-rail input switching thresholds and maintains output integrity across the full 1.65–5.5 V V_CC range.

Its CMOS design ensures compatibility with both LVTTL and LVCMOS logic families, while the bus-hold circuitry on inputs eliminates need for external pull resistors in floating-input scenarios - critical for robust operation in handheld device I/O expansion.

FAQ

Does 74LVC2G241GT,115 support hot-plug operation?

Yes. The device features IOFF circuitry that disables outputs and limits input/output leakage to <1 µA when V_CC = 0 V, preventing back-current flow during live insertion into powered systems - verified per JEDEC JESD78 Class II latch-up testing.

Can it translate between 1.8 V and 5 V logic levels?

No. While the device operates from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, its inputs are not 5 V tolerant when V_CC < 4.5 V. For true 5 V input tolerance, use 74LVC2G241 with V_CC ≥ 4.5 V or add external clamping diodes.

What is the maximum capacitive load it can drive reliably?

It maintains specified t_PD and waveform integrity driving up to 50 pF at 3.3 V, including PCB trace capacitance. Driving >50 pF increases propagation delay nonlinearly and may cause overshoot exceeding 10% V_CC without series termination.

Is bus-hold functionality enabled by default?

Yes. Bus-hold is integrated on all inputs and requires no external components or configuration. It actively maintains last-valid logic state when inputs float, with hold current ≤ ±20 µA and effective resistance ≈ 100 kΩ to V_CC or GND.
