74ACT541MTR Octal Buffer/Line Driver from STMicroelectronics

The 74ACT541MTR is a high-performance, octal buffer and line driver designed to interface with 8-bit bus systems. Manufactured by STMicroelectronics, a leader in semiconductor solutions, this IC is part of the 74ACT series, which are known for their advanced high-speed CMOS technology.

This device is capable of driving bus lines or buffer memory address registers and has the ability to drive up to 15 LSTTL loads. With bidirectional data flow via non-inverting 3-state buffers, the 74ACT541MTR ensures smooth and reliable operation in a variety of digital applications. The 3-state outputs are controlled by two output enable (OE) inputs which, when high, put the outputs in the high impedance state, allowing for line sharing in bus-organized systems.

The 74ACT541MTR operates over a broad voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for industrial and commercial temperature ranges. This octal buffer/line driver comes in a space-saving and efficient SO-20 package, which is perfect for applications where space is at a premium.

Key features of the 74ACT541MTR include:

• Non-inverting buffers
• High noise immunity characteristic of CMOS devices
• Low power dissipation
• Guaranteed output current up to 24mA
• Guaranteed input leakage current of less than ±0.1µA
• Functionally identical to the 74ALS541 and 74F541

Ideal for a wide range of applications, the 74ACT541MTR is especially useful in systems that require high drive capability, such as memory address drivers, clock drivers, and bus-oriented receivers and transmitters. With its robust design and reliable performance, this STMicroelectronics product is an excellent choice for your digital interfacing needs.
