SN74LS541DW

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74LS541DW is an octal buffer and line driver manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the LS logic series. It features eight non-inverting channels with three-state outputs housed in a 20-pin SOIC surface-mount package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum low-level output current of 24 mA and a maximum high-level output current of -15 mA. Propagation delay is specified at 18 ns when tested with a 5 V supply and 45 pF load.
