CD74ACT541M96G4

Overview

The CD74ACT541M96G4 is an octal buffer and line driver manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the 74ACT logic family. 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 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Key electrical specifications include a maximum high-level output current of -24 mA and a low-level output current of 24 mA. Propagation delay is specified at 8.2 ns under standard test conditions. The component supports an operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides eight non-inverting signal paths for data buffering and line driving applications.
• Integrates three-state output capability to facilitate bus-oriented communication systems.
• Utilizes advanced CMOS technology to achieve high-speed switching performance.

Applications

• Bus-oriented systems requiring high-speed data transfer
• Clock distribution circuits
• Memory address decoding

Procurement Notes

Verify the G4 suffix indicates lead-free construction compliant with RoHS standards. Confirm the M96 suffix corresponds to the tape-and-reel packaging format suitable for automated surface-mount assembly. Ensure the specific variant matches the required thermal and electrical characteristics for the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require the speed advantages of ACT logic over standard HC families while maintaining compatibility with 5 V logic levels. The wide operating temperature range makes it suitable for industrial environments. Consider the SOIC-20 package dimensions for PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part is a member of the Texas Instruments 74ACT series, which offers faster propagation delays than the standard 74HC series. It serves as an octal buffer and line driver, providing high drive capability for interfacing between different logic domains or driving long traces on a circuit board.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the CD74ACT541M96 and CD74ACT541E4. Verify pinout and electrical specifications match before substitution.
