Product details
Overview
74ABT541DB,118 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is an octal 3-state buffer/line driver in a 20-pin SSOP package, operating from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, with 2.9 ns typical propagation delay, ±32 mA high-level and +64 mA low-level output drive, and designed for bus interface applications in industrial control and data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74ABT541DB,118 datasheet, 74ABT541DB,118 pinout, 74ABT541DB,118 application, or 74ABT541DB,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state enable timing (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 6.4 ns), input/output capacitance (CIN = 4 pF, COUT = 7 pF), power-up 3-state behavior, latch-up immunity (>500 mA), and compatibility with 5 V TTL/CMOS logic families.
Technical Context
The 74ABT541DB,118 implements dual independent 3-state enables (OE0 and OE1) controlling eight non-inverting outputs (Y0–Y7) driven by corresponding inputs (A0–A7), with inputs and outputs placed on opposite sides of the package to minimize PCB trace crosstalk and simplify routing. Its BiCMOS process delivers both low static current (ICCZ = 500 nA at VCC = 5.5 V) and high-speed switching.
It supports live insertion/extraction and meets JEDEC JC40.2 latch-up standards and MIL-STD-883 ESD requirements (2000 V HBM, 200 V MM). The device operates across –40°C to +85°C with guaranteed DC electrical performance including VOL ≤ 0.55 V at IOL = 64 mA and VOH ≥ 2.0 V at IOH = –32 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures robust operation under noisy 5 V rail conditions with ±10% tolerance. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 2.9 ns typical (CL = 50 pF, VCC = 5 V) - Enables sub-350 MHz bus timing margins in high-speed digital interfaces. |
| Output Drive Strength | Sinks 64 mA / Sources 32 mA - Drives heavy capacitive loads and multiple TTL inputs without external buffers. |
| Input Capacitance (CIN) | 4 pF - Minimizes loading on upstream drivers and preserves signal edge integrity. |
| 3-State Leakage (IOZL/IOZH) | ±50 µA max (VCC = 5.5 V) - Prevents unintended current paths during bus arbitration or power sequencing. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems and factory automation equipment. |
Pinout & Package
74ABT541DB,118 is housed in a 20-pin plastic shrink small outline package (SSOP Type II, SOT339-1), 5.3 mm body width, 0.65 mm lead pitch, surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | OE0, OE1 | Independent active-low 3-state enables - Allows selective activation of output groups for time-multiplexed bus sharing. |
| 2–9 | A0–A7 | Data inputs - Accept standard 5 V TTL/CMOS logic levels; placed on left side for orthogonal PCB layout. |
| 11–18 | Y0–Y7 | Non-inverting buffered outputs - High-drive capability supports fan-out to >20 LS-TTL loads per output. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - Dedicated ground pin minimizes ground bounce in multi-output switching events. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply - Decoupling capacitor placement adjacent to this pin is critical for noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Power-up 3-State | Outputs remain in high-impedance state until VCC stabilizes - Prevents bus contention during power ramp-up. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT244N | 8-bit dual 3-state non-inverting buffer with identical pinout but single OE control (vs. dual OE in 74ABT541DB,118) | Lacks independent group enable; requires external logic for split-bus control | Select when simplified enable architecture suffices and board space permits DIP package |
| 74LVT244PW | Lower 3.3 V supply operation (2.7–3.6 V); 3.5 ns typical tPD; 24 mA drive - not 5 V tolerant | Requires level translation for 5 V systems; unsuitable for direct 5 V bus interfacing | Choose only for mixed-voltage 3.3 V core systems with isolated I/O domains |
Compared with SN74ABT244N and 74LVT244PW, the 74ABT541DB,118 uniquely provides dual independent 3-state enables in a compact SSOP package with full 5 V drive strength and industrial temperature range - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability bus isolation where granular output control is required.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current specification for 74ABT541DB,118?
The 74ABT541DB,118 specifies a low-level output current (IOL) of 64 mA and a high-level output current (IOH) of –32 mA, measured under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V, VI = VIL/VIL). These values ensure reliable driving of multiple TTL loads or moderate PCB trace capacitance without signal degradation. Exceeding these limits risks exceeding absolute maximum ratings and may compromise reliability.
Does 74ABT541DB,118 support live insertion into powered systems?
Yes, the 74ABT541DB,118 is explicitly rated for live insertion and extraction per its product specification. This capability stems from its BiCMOS architecture, controlled power-up 3-state behavior, and robust ESD/latch-up protection (2000 V HBM, >500 mA latch-up immunity), making it suitable for hot-pluggable I/O modules and modular backplane designs where maintenance occurs without system shutdown.
What is the function of pins 1 and 19 on 74ABT541DB,118?
Pins 1 and 19 are OE0 and OE1 - independent active-low 3-state output enable inputs. When either is low, its associated four outputs (OE0 controls Y0–Y3; OE1 controls Y4–Y7) are enabled; when both are high, all eight outputs enter high-impedance state. This dual-enable architecture allows time-multiplexed or segmented bus access without external gating logic.
Is 74ABT541DB,118 compatible with 3.3 V logic inputs?
No, the 74ABT541DB,118 is a 5 V-only device with TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V). While 3.3 V logic outputs may meet VIH under nominal conditions, voltage margin erosion due to noise, temperature drift, or source impedance can cause unreliable recognition. For 3.3 V systems, use a level-translating buffer such as the 74LVT244 or dedicated translators instead of relying on 74ABT541DB,118 directly.
What package type does 74ABT541DB,118 use and what are its key mechanical features?
The 74ABT541DB,118 uses a 20-pin plastic shrink small outline package (SSOP Type II, SOT339-1), measuring 7.2 mm × 5.3 mm with 0.65 mm lead pitch. Its gull-wing leads and narrow body enable high-density PCB layouts while maintaining manufacturability with standard SMT reflow processes. The package is RoHS-compliant and qualified for industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C).
