The MC74HCT541N is an octal buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs manufactured by Freescale Semiconductor - NXP. This device is part of the HCT family of high-speed CMOS logic and offers TTL-compatible input thresholds, low power consumption, and high noise immunity. It is typically used to amplify signals or isolate sections of a circuit.

Applications

• Bus drivers
• Line drivers
• Memory address drivers
• Clock drivers
• Data buffering

Features

• TTL Compatible Input Thresholds
• High Speed: tPD = 13 ns (typ) at VCC = 5V
• Low Power Dissipation: ICC = 8 μA (max) at TA = 25°C
• High Noise Immunity: VNIL = 0.8 V; VNIH = 2.0 V
• Output Drive Capability: 15 LSTTL Loads
• Symmetrical Output Impedance: |IOH| = IOL = 6 mA
• 3-State Outputs: Allow for connection to a bus system.
• Operating Voltage Range: 4.5V to 5.5V

Benefits

• TTL Compatibility: Simplifies interfacing with TTL logic.
• Low Power Consumption: Minimizes power consumption.
• High-Speed Operation: Enables fast data transmission.
• Octal Buffer: Buffers eight signals simultaneously.
• 3-State Outputs: Permits multiple devices to share a common bus.

Additional Details

The MC74HCT541N features eight non-inverting buffers with 3-state outputs. It has two Output Enable (OE) inputs that control all eight outputs. When OE is low, the outputs are enabled, and the output signals follow the input signals. When OE is high, the outputs are in a high-impedance state. The device is available in a 20-pin DIP package. Operating temperature is -40°C to +85°C.
