CD74ACT541SM96

Overview

The CD74ACT541SM96 is an octal buffer and line driver manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the 74ACT logic series. It features eight non-inverting inputs with three-state outputs housed in a 20-SSOP package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. It provides high-level output current of -24 mA and low-level output current of 24 mA. Static current is specified at 8 uA, while operating supply current is 80 uA. The propagation delay is 8.2 ns at 4.5 V to 5.5 V. The component supports a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Octal configuration providing eight independent non-inverting signal paths for parallel data transmission.
• Three-state output capability allowing multiple drivers to share a common bus without electrical conflict.
• ACT logic technology ensuring fast switching speeds suitable for high-performance digital applications.

Applications

• Parallel data buffering in microprocessor-based systems
• Clock distribution networks requiring high fan-out
• Memory address and data bus drivers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix M96 corresponds to the tape and reel packaging format when ordering. Confirm that the 4.5V to 5.5V supply requirement aligns with the target system design. Ensure the SSOP-20 footprint matches the PCB layout constraints. Check RoHS3 compliance status if required by environmental regulations. Validate the operating temperature range against the intended application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal buffer with three-state outputs is required for 5V logic systems. The ACT series offers faster performance compared to standard HC or AC logic families. Consider the 20-SSOP package size for space-constrained surface-mount designs. Verify that the 24 mA drive current meets the load requirements of the connected circuitry. Ensure compatibility with existing 74ACT logic standards in the design.
