Frequently Asked Questions
What is the operating voltage range of the SN74LVC2G241DCTR?
The SN74LVC2G241DCTR operates from 1.65V to 3.6V supply voltage, making it compatible with 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V logic systems. This wide range enables use in mixed-voltage designs and modern low-power applications.
What output drive current does the SN74LVC2G241DCTR support?
The device supports a maximum output low current (I(ol)) of 32mA, which is sufficient to directly drive most logic inputs and small bus loads without additional buffering. The LVC family ensures this drive strength is maintained across the full voltage range.
What package is the SN74LVC2G241DCTR available in and what does DCTR mean?
The SN74LVC2G241DCTR comes in a SOT-23-8 (VSSOP/SC-70) small outline package. The 'DCT' suffix denotes the SC-70 package variant, and 'R' indicates tape-and-reel packaging, suitable for automated SMT assembly in high-volume production.
Can the SN74LVC2G241DCTR be used for level translation between 3.3V and 1.8V logic?
Yes, the SN74LVC2G241DCTR supports partial voltage translation when the input is driven by a 3.3V source while the output supply (VCC) is 1.8V or 2.5V. The ENABLE pins allow precise control over bus direction and tri-state behavior, making it ideal for level-shifting in mixed-voltage systems.
What are common applications for the SN74LVC2G241DCTR?
Common applications include GPIO bus expansion in microcontroller designs, address/data bus buffering in embedded systems, signal isolation in industrial control boards, and interface buffering in portable consumer electronics. Its compact size and low power consumption also make it suitable for IoT and wearable devices.
