SN74HC541PWR

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74HC541PWR is an octal buffer and line driver from the Texas Instruments 74HC series, housed in a 20-pin TSSOP package. It features non-inverting logic with three-state outputs controlled by dual low-active output enable inputs (OE1 and OE2). The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V and supports a load capacitance of 50 pF. It provides symmetric output drive capabilities of 7.8mA for both high and low states. The component functions unidirectionally across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
