The MC74HC541N/MM74HC541N is an octal buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs. This device features eight non-inverting buffers with high output drive capability and three-state outputs, making it suitable for driving bus lines, memory address drivers, and clock drivers. The three-state outputs allow multiple devices to share a common bus.

Applications

• Memory address drivers
• Bus drivers
• Clock drivers
• Data buffers
• Logic level converters
• High current drivers

Features

• High Speed Operation: tPD = 13 ns (typ) at VCC = 5V
• Low Power Dissipation: ICC = 4 μA (max) at TA = 25°C
• High Noise Immunity: VNIH = VNIL = 30 % VCC
• Operating Voltage Range: 2V to 6V
• Octal Buffer/Line Driver
• Non-Inverting Outputs
• Three-State Outputs
• High Output Drive Capability

Benefits

• Improved system performance due to fast propagation delay.

The MC74HC541N/MM74HC541N is an octal buffer/line driver fabricated using silicon-gate CMOS technology. The device features eight non-inverting buffers with three-state outputs controlled by two enable inputs (OE1 and OE2). When an enable input is high, the corresponding outputs are disabled (high impedance state). The device operates from a supply voltage of 2V to 6V and is compatible with standard TTL logic levels. It is commonly available in a through-hole DIP package.
