SN74F541N

The SN74F541N from Texas Instruments is an octal buffer/line driver designed for driving bus lines or buffering memory address registers. This device features 3-state outputs, which are essential for bus-oriented applications.

The SN74F541N operates with a supply voltage ranging from 4.5V to 5.5V and functions within an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. It provides 8 bits of data per element, with a non-inverting buffer logic type. The outputs are 3-state, allowing them to drive bus lines effectively or buffer memory address registers.

This component is available in a 20-PDIP package, suitable for through-hole mounting. The data flow-through pinout, with inputs on one side and outputs on the opposite, facilitates efficient printed-circuit-board layout. The 3-state control gate utilizes active-low inputs, meaning if either output enable (OE1 or OE2) is high, all outputs enter a high-impedance state.

Key electrical characteristics include an output current capability of 15mA and 64mA, and input current range from -30mA to 5mA. The device is designed for applications requiring reliable buffering and bus driving capabilities.
