Product Overview: 74LVC241ADB,112

The 74LVC241ADB,112 is a high-performance, octal buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs from NXP Semiconductors. Designed to provide the perfect balance between speed and power consumption, this integrated circuit is a part of the LVC (Low-Voltage CMOS) family, which operates at a voltage range of 1.2V to 3.6V. This feature makes it an ideal choice for interfacing with 3.3V logic levels while maintaining 5V tolerant inputs.

Equipped with eight non-inverting buffer/line drivers, the 74LVC241ADB,112 is capable of driving heavy loads with minimal distortion, making it suitable for a wide variety of applications, including memory address driving, bus-oriented systems, and buffer memory address registers. The device is characterized by its high noise immunity and low static power consumption, which is less than 5 µA significantly contributing to the energy efficiency of the systems it is used in.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Low Voltage Operation: Operates at a voltage range of 1.2V to 3.6V, which is compatible with modern low-voltage systems.
• 5V Tolerant Inputs: Inputs can tolerate up to 5V, even when the device is powered off, allowing for interfacing with higher voltage logic levels without additional level shifters.
• High Drive: Capable of driving up to 50 mA at the outputs, providing the ability to drive heavy loads.
• 3-State Outputs: The outputs can be placed in a high-impedance state, effectively disconnecting them from the circuit, which is useful in bus-oriented applications.
• Low Power Consumption: Static power consumption is less than 5 µA, making it an energy-efficient choice for battery-operated devices.
• Bus Hold Feature: Maintains the last input state when no input is present, reducing the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors.
• ESD Protection: Features high electrostatic discharge protection, which enhances the durability of the device in harsh environments.
