SN74F541DW

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74F541DW is an octal buffer and line driver featuring three-state outputs, manufactured by Texas Instruments in a 20-pin Small Outline (DW) package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The device provides non-inverting data flow with inputs positioned on one side of the package and outputs on the opposite side to facilitate printed-circuit-board layout. It includes two active-low output enable inputs that control the high-impedance state.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Octal buffer and line driver configuration with three-state outputs for bus driving applications
• Data flow-through pinout design with inputs and outputs located on opposite sides of the package
• Dual active-low output enable inputs controlling high-impedance states

• Driving bus lines
• Buffering memory address registers

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity and datasheet revision status before integration. Confirm that the specific DW package variant meets thermal and mechanical requirements for the target application environment. Ensure compatibility with existing logic families and power supply constraints during system design validation.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring octal buffering with three-state capabilities at standard 5V logic levels. Consider the specific package dimensions and pinout arrangement for PCB layout optimization. Evaluate propagation delay characteristics against system timing requirements to ensure signal integrity across the bus architecture.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the SN54F541/SN74F541 family of octal buffers/drivers with three-state outputs. The SN74 series represents the commercial grade version characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C, distinct from the military-grade SN54 series which supports -55°C to 125°C. The DW package denotes a plastic small-outline integrated circuit format.
