74LCX541WMX

Overview

The onsemi 74LCX541WMX is an octal buffer and line driver utilizing advanced LCX CMOS technology. It features eight non-inverting inputs with three-state outputs, housed in a 20-pin SOIC package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 3.6 V. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum static current of 10 uA and output drive currents of ±24 mA. Propagation delays are specified at 7.5 ns at 2.7 V and 6.5 ns at 3.3 V. It supports surface mount installation and functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Octal configuration providing eight independent non-inverting signal paths for parallel data handling.
• Three-state output capability allows direct connection to system buses without additional buffering hardware.
• Advanced LCX CMOS construction ensures low power consumption while maintaining high-speed performance comparable to faster logic families.

Applications

• High-density memory buffer applications requiring low voltage operation
• Clock distribution circuits demanding precise timing and low skew
• Data bus drivers for portable battery-powered electronic devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with RoHS directives if required by your manufacturing standards. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm technical parameters match your design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require octal buffering with low voltage operation between 2 V and 3.6 V. It is suitable for applications needing moderate drive strength of ±24 mA and propagation delays under 8 ns. Consider the SOIC-20 package constraints for PCB layout and thermal management during the initial schematic capture phase.
