CD74HC540M96

Overview

The CD74HC540M96 is an octal buffer and line driver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the HC logic series and features a single circuit with eight bits per element. The device utilizes surface mount installation in a 20-SOIC package. It operates on a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports a wide operating temperature range from -55 °C to +125 °C.

Feature Summary

• Octal configuration providing eight independent buffer channels within a single integrated circuit
• High-speed CMOS technology ensuring efficient operation across a broad voltage spectrum
• Tri-state output capability allowing effective bus-oriented communication management

Applications

• Bus-oriented systems requiring signal buffering
• Memory address decoding applications
• Carry propagation in high-speed computing devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official Texas Instruments documentation to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the component matches the required SOIC-20 package dimensions and electrical specifications for your design. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your manufacturing process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal buffer with tri-state outputs is required for system architecture. Ensure the operating voltage aligns with the 2 V to 6 V specification. Consider the HC logic family characteristics regarding speed and power consumption relative to other available logic families.

Part Context

This component is part of the CD74HC540 series, which includes variants such as the non-inverting CD74HC541. The M96 suffix typically denotes a specific tape and reel packaging format suitable for automated surface-mount assembly processes used in modern electronics manufacturing.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the CD74HC541E and CD74HC541M96, which share similar pinouts but differ in inversion polarity. Verify functional equivalence before implementation.
