74AC541MTCX

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The onsemi 74AC541MTCX is an octal buffer and line driver featuring non-inverting logic within the AC series. It utilizes a flow-through architecture with inputs and outputs positioned on opposite sides of the TSSOP-20 package to facilitate microprocessor interface and PCB density. The device provides three-state outputs capable of sourcing and sinking 24 mA. It operates on a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 6.0 V, with propagation delays of 8 ns at 3.3 V and 6 ns at 5 V.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Flow-through pinout arrangement places inputs and outputs on opposite package sides for easier microprocessor interfacing.
• Three-state outputs allow isolation from the bus when disabled.
• High output drive capability supports source and sink currents of 24 mA.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Memory and address drivers
• Clock drivers
• Bus-oriented transmitter/receivers

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'X' corresponds to the tape and reel packaging configuration rather than tube packaging. Confirm the device variant matches the AC logic family specifications rather than the ACT family which features TTL-compatible inputs. Ensure the component meets lead-free requirements as indicated by the manufacturer's environmental standards.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a non-inverting octal buffer is required for high-density board layouts. The flow-through design simplifies routing compared to standard parallel I/O configurations. Consider the 24 mA drive strength for driving multiple loads or capacitive buses. Verify that the AC logic thresholds align with the system voltage levels, as opposed to the ACT variant if TTL compatibility is necessary.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MC74AC540/541 series of octal buffers and line drivers manufactured by onsemi. It serves as the non-inverting counterpart to the 74AC540. Functionally similar to the 74AC244, it offers distinct advantages in layout efficiency due to its specific pinout arrangement designed for microprocessor output ports.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The 74AC540 is the direct inverting equivalent within the same series. The 74ACT541 offers identical functionality but includes TTL-compatible input thresholds. Cross-referencing with the 74AC244 is possible for functional similarity, though the pinout architecture differs significantly.
