Product Overview: MC74LCX541DWR2G from ON Semiconductor

The MC74LCX541DWR2G is a high-performance, octal buffer and line driver designed to operate with a 2.3V to 3.6V V<sub>CC supply voltage. Manufactured by ON Semiconductor, this device is part of the LCX family, which is known for its low voltage operation and low noise characteristics. The device is suitable for driving bus lines or buffer memory address registers, making it a versatile component in a wide range of applications.

Featuring inputs and outputs on opposite sides of the package, this design facilitates easier routing of PCBs. The MC74LCX541DWR2G is equipped with eight non-inverting buffers with 3-state outputs, which enable it to be used in bus-oriented applications. The 3-state outputs allow the device to be used in a shared data bus, as they can be placed in a high-impedance mode, effectively disconnecting the buffer from the bus.

The device is fabricated with an advanced CMOS technology to achieve high speed operation while maintaining CMOS low power dissipation. The 5V tolerant inputs are designed to allow interface with 5V systems, providing a high degree of flexibility in mixed-voltage environments. Furthermore, the MC74LCX541DWR2G is capable of sinking or sourcing 24 mA at outputs, ensuring a good drive capacity.

ON Semiconductor has packaged the MC74LCX541DWR2G in a 20-lead SOIC package with a wide body (7.5mm), denoted by the suffix 'DW'. The 'R2G' suffix indicates that this product is available in a tape and reel format, which is convenient for automated assembly processes. It is also compliant with JEDEC standards for defining the package outline.

Key features of the MC74LCX541DWR2G include:

• Support for 2.3V to 3.6V V<sub>CC operating range
• High-impedance 3-state outputs for bus interfacing
• 5V tolerant inputs for interfacing with 5V logic levels
• High drive capability with 24 mA outputs
• Low power consumption and high-speed operation
• SOIC-20 wide body package for ease of PCB layout

Overall, the MC74LCX541DWR2G from ON Semiconductor is a reliable and flexible solution for applications requiring high-speed data buffering and line driving capabilities.
