Product Overview: 74AHCT541PW by NXP Semiconductors

The 74AHCT541PW is a high-speed Si-gate CMOS device and is pin compatible with Low-power Schottky TTL (LSTTL). It is fabricated with silicon gate C2MOS technology and designed by NXP Semiconductors, a leader in high-performance mixed-signal electronics.

This particular integrated circuit is an octal non-inverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs. The device features eight buffers with high current output capability suitable for driving highly capacitive or low-impedance loads. The 3-state outputs are controlled by the output enable inputs (nOE). A HIGH on nOE causes the outputs to assume a high-impedance OFF-state. The use of 3-state outputs allows multiple devices to be connected to the same output bus, providing a highly flexible and controllable interface to the bus.
