Active dual buffer for mixed-voltage and industrial signal lines
Each of the two elements handles a single bit, and the 3-state outputs let you share a bus without contention. Outputs source and sink 32 mA each, enough to drive a modest LED or fan out to several CMOS loads.
Supply voltage range — why it matters for the BOM
It means the same buffer can serve as a level translator in a 1.8 V FPGA-to-3.3 V MCU link, or as a line driver on a 5 V backplane. There is no separate VCCIO pin — the single supply sets both the input threshold and the output swing, so the design just matches the rail to the downstream logic family.
The 74LVC2G241DCURE4 comes in an 8-VFSOP package (2.30 mm width, 0.091" pitch), with the supplier device package listed as 8-VSSOP. The two names refer to the same physical footprint — a tiny, fine-pitch surface-mount package suited for dense PCBs. The Tape & Reel (TR) shipping format is standard for automated pick-and-place assembly.
