74AC541MTC

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The onsemi 74AC541MTC is an octal buffer and line driver belonging to the AC logic family. It features eight non-inverting channels with three-state outputs housed in a TSSOP-20 package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V, drawing a maximum static current of 4 uA and a working power current of 40 uA. It provides high drive capability with output currents of -24 mA at high level and 24 mA at low level. Propagation delays are specified as 8 ns at 3.3 V and 6 ns at 5 V. The component supports surface mount installation and functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -40 C to +85 C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Octal three-state architecture enables efficient bus interfacing by isolating outputs when not active.
• Non-inverting signal path preserves input logic states for direct data transmission applications.
• Through-pin layout positions inputs and outputs on opposite sides to simplify printed circuit board routing.
