SN74LS541DWR

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74LS541DWR is an octal buffer and line driver from the Texas Instruments SN74LS series. It features eight non-inverting channels with three-state outputs, housed in a 20-pin SOIC 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 capacitance.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DW' corresponds to the SOIC-20 surface-mount package configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation, as environmental declarations may vary by production batch. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required tape-and-reel packaging format for automated assembly processes.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal buffer with controlled output impedance is required for system buses. The three-state capability facilitates efficient data transfer between multiple devices. Verify that the LS logic family speed and power dissipation characteristics align with the target application's thermal and timing constraints.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This device belongs to the SN74LS family of bipolar logic integrated circuits. It serves as a standard interface solution for digital systems requiring signal buffering and isolation. The octal configuration consolidates multiple driver functions into a single package, reducing board space compared to individual gate implementations.
