CD74HCT541M96

Overview

The CD74HCT541M96 is an octal buffer and line driver from the Texas Instruments HCT logic family, housed in a 20-pin SOIC package. It features non-inverting polarity with three-state outputs. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum propagation delay of 28 ns at 4.5 V, high-level output current of -6 mA, and low-level output current of 6 mA. It supports surface mount installation and functions reliably across an extended temperature range from -55 °C to +125 °C.

Feature Summary

• Provides eight independent non-inverting signal paths for bus-oriented communication
• Features three-state outputs to facilitate direct connection to driving lines
• Compatible with standard TTL voltage levels through HCT CMOS technology

Applications

• Bus-oriented systems requiring signal buffering
• Clock drivers for high-speed digital circuits
• Memory address drivers in computer architectures

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix M96 against official datasheets to confirm package dimensions and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the component meets RoHS requirements if applicable to your manufacturing standards. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to confirm authenticity and traceability before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require octal buffering with three-state control capabilities. It is suitable for applications needing compatibility with both 5V and 3.3V logic families due to its HCT input characteristics. Consider the wide operating temperature range for industrial or automotive environments where thermal stability is critical.

Part Context

This component belongs to the CD74HCT series, representing high-speed CMOS logic designed for performance comparable to LS-TTL. The 'M' designation indicates a plastic small-outline package, while '96' typically specifies the specific tape and reel packaging configuration used for automated assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

SN74HCT541PWRG4 offers similar functionality in a TSSOP-20 package. SN74HCT541PW provides equivalent logic in a TSSOP format. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions before substituting.
