The 3-state outputs let you connect multiple buffers to a shared bus — when the output enable is inactive, the output goes high-impedance instead of fighting the bus. With a supply range from 1.65V to 5.5V, this part bridges 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains without a level shifter. If you have this part on a legacy BOM, you are looking at the surplus and broker channel for any remaining stock. The good news is that the 74LVC2G241 function is widely second-sourced — the SN74LVC2G241 from TI (different package suffix) and equivalents from NXP, ON Semiconductor, and others are pin-compatible and electrically identical. For new designs, skip this obsolete suffix and specify the active SN74LVC2G241 variant in the package you need. ## Output drive and supply — sizing the rail That drive strength lets you directly light a standard LED, drive the base of a small-signal transistor, or fan out to several CMOS inputs without a separate buffer stage. The 1.65V minimum supply means this part works with a single Li-ion cell (3.0V-4.2V) all the way down to near-depleted (1.65V), so it is a natural fit for battery-powered portable equipment. The 5.5V maximum covers 5V TTL logic rails cleanly, with 5V-tolerant inputs that do not draw excessive current when driven above VCC. ## Package and footprint — what you are soldering The DCUTE4 suffix indicates a Tape & Reel shipping format, but the device itself is housed in an 8-VFSOP package (2.30mm width, 0.091\" body length) or the functionally identical 8-VSSOP. Both are fine-pitch surface-mount packages — about 2.3mm wide, so they fit in tight board layouts. The small body means the thermal mass is low; standard reflow profiles for lead-free solder work fine.","metaTitle":"TI 74LVC2G241DCUTE4 Dual Buffer/Line Driver, 1.65V-5.5V","metaDescription":"Texas Instruments 74LVC2G241DCUTE4 dual non-inverting buffer with 3-state outputs, 1.65V-5.5V supply, -40°C to 125°C.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Logic ICs"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Texas Instruments","Series":"74LVC","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR)","Input Type":"-","Logic Type":"Buffer, Non-Inverting","Output Type":"3-State","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"8-VFSOP (0.091\\\", 2.30mm Width)","Product Status":"Obsolete","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Voltage - Supply":"1.65V ~ 5.5V","Number of Elements":"2","Base Product Number":"74LVC2G241","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~125°C(TA)","Supplier Device Package":"8-VSSOP","Current - Output High, Low":"32mA, 32mA","Number of Bits per Element":"1"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/d6dbf11b8aef86eb66c1330314997d4b.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icboms.com/api/mcp/products/74LVC2G241DCUTE4/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is 74LVC2G241DCUTE4 obsolete?","answer":"Yes, Texas Instruments lists the 74LVC2G241DCUTE4 as Obsolete.

The SN74LVC2G241 is electrically identical and pin-compatible.
