About this manual

The NXP 74HC541 and 74HCT541 are octal non-inverting buffer/line drivers featuring 3-state outputs controlled by two output enable inputs (OE1 and OE2). The devices include input clamp diodes to allow interfacing with voltages exceeding VCC using current-limiting resistors. They comply with JEDEC standard no. 7A and are available in multiple package options including SO20, SSOP20, and TSSOP20.

Frequently asked questions

What is the function of the output enable inputs?

A HIGH on OE n causes the outputs to assume a high-impedance OFF-state.

How do the input clamp diodes benefit the device?

They enable the use of current limiting resistors to interface inputs to voltages in excess of VCC.

What are the available package options?

The device is available in SO20, SSOP20, and TSSOP20 packages.
