N74F541D,602

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The N74F541D,602 is an octal buffer with 3-State outputs manufactured by NXP USA Inc. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. The device features high impedance NPN base inputs with low loading characteristics (20μA in High and Low states). Outputs are capable of sinking 64mA and sourcing up to 15mA. Typical propagation delay is 5.5ns at VCC = 5V.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current documentation to confirm package type and availability. Ensure the component meets the required commercial operating temperature range and voltage specifications for the target application environment before finalizing procurement.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal non-inverting buffer with 3-State control is required. It serves as a functional equivalent to the 74F241. Consider its high drive capability and input loading characteristics when interfacing with MOS microprocessors or managing bus loads in digital systems.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the 74F series of fast logic devices produced originally by Philips Semiconductors and now managed by NXP. The 74F541 provides eight non-inverting buffers with tri-state outputs, contrasting with the inverting 74F540 variant. It utilizes a 20-pin plastic small outline package.
