Octal Buffer/Line Driver with 3-STATE Outputs
74AC541 • 74ACT541 Octal Buffer/Line Driver with 3-STATE Outputs
General Description
The 74AC541 and 74 ACT541 are octal buffer/l ine drivers
designed to be em ployed as mem ory a nd ad dress d rive rs,
clock drivers and bus oriented transmitter/receivers.
These devices are similar in fu nction to the 74AC244 a nd
74ACTC244 while providing flow-through architecture
(inputs on opposite side from outputs). This pinout arrangement makes these devices esp ecially useful as an outp ut
port for microprocessors, allowing ease of layout and
greater PC board density.
Features
■ ICC and IOZ reduced by 50%
■ 3-STATE outputs
■ Inputs and outputs opposite side of package, allowing
easier interface to microprocessors
■ Output source/sink 24 mA
■ 74AC541 is a non-inverting option of the 74AC540
■ 74ACT541 has TTL-compatible inputs

Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings are those values beyond which damage to the device may occu r. The databook specificati ons should be met,
without exception, t o ensure that the system design is reliab le over its
