74AC541SC

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The onsemi 74AC541SC is an octal buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for memory and address drivers, clock drivers, and bus-oriented transmitter/receivers. It features a flow-through architecture with inputs and outputs on opposite sides of the package to facilitate microprocessor interface and PCB layout density. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 6.0 V and supports an operating temperature from -40°C to +85°C. It provides high output drive capability with source/sink currents of 24 mA.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'SC' corresponds to the SOIC-20 tube packaging configuration as listed in the official documentation. Confirm RoHS compliance status and Pb-free designation details directly from the manufacturer's current datasheet revision before finalizing procurement specifications.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a non-inverting octal buffer with 3-state control is required for high-density PCB layouts. The flow-through architecture distinguishes it from similar devices like the 74AC244 by positioning inputs and outputs on opposite sides. Ensure the application voltage falls within the 2.0 V to 6.0 V range and requires 24 mA output drive capability.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the 74AC logic family, utilizing advanced silicon gate CMOS technology. It is functionally similar to the 74AC244 but utilizes a distinct pinout arrangement. The 'SC' suffix specifically denotes the SOIC-20 package type, differentiating it from TSSOP or other package variants within the same logical series.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The 74AC540 serves as the inverting counterpart within the same series. For direct functional replacement in non-inverting applications, verify pin compatibility with other 74AC541 variants such as the 74AC541MTC or 74AC541SCX, noting differences in packaging and shipping quantities.
