Texas Instruments 74HCT541 Octal Buffer/Line Driver DIP

The Texas Instruments SN74HCT541N is an octal buffer and line driver featuring 3-state outputs. Engineered to deliver the performance of the popular HC240 series devices, this component offers a convenient pin out with inputs and outputs on opposite sides of the package, greatly facilitating printed circuit board layout.

Operationally, the 3-state control gate is a 2-input NOR. If either output-enable input (OE1 or OE2) is high, all eight outputs adopt a high-impedance state. The device provides true data at the outputs, ensuring straightforward signal integrity and reliable data transmission.

Key Features

• High-current 3-state outputs that interface directly with the system bus or drive up to 15 LSTTL loads
• Low power consumption
• 12ns typical propagation delay time (TPD)
• ±6mA output drive at 5V
• Data flow-through pin out

Housed in a 20-pin DIP package, the device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. Measuring 43 mm in height, 33 mm in width, and 15 mm in depth, it is well-suited for a variety of demanding electronic applications.
