Product details
Overview
74ABT541PW,118 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is an octal 3-state buffer/line driver in TSSOP-20 package, operating from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, with 2.9 ns typical propagation delay (An→Yn), ±32 mA high-level and 64 mA low-level output drive, and designed for bus interface and fan-out extension in 5 V TTL-compatible systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74ABT541PW,118 datasheet, 74ABT541PW,118 pinout, 74ABT541PW,118 application, or 74ABT541PW,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state enable timing (tPZH/tPHZ ≤ 6.4 ns), input/output isolation (CIN = 4 pF, COUT = 7 pF), power-up 3-state behavior, and compatibility with legacy ABT-family bus architectures.
Technical Context
The 74ABT541PW,118 implements dual independent 3-state enables (OE0 and OE1) controlling eight non-inverting outputs (Y0–Y7) driven by corresponding inputs (A0–A7). Its BiCMOS process delivers high-speed switching while maintaining TTL-compatible logic thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V) and robust DC drive capability.
It supports live insertion/extraction and meets JEDEC JC40.2 latch-up immunity (>500 mA) and MIL-STD-883 ESD protection (>2000 V HBM). The device operates across –40°C to +85°C and features power-off leakage current <100 µA at VCC = 0 V.
Key Specifications

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 | Octal buffer with single 3-state enable (not dual OE); identical AC/DC specs and pinout except enable configuration. | Requires external logic to replicate dual-OE functionality; suitable only when grouped enable suffices. | Select when board layout uses centralized enable control and space constraints favor DIP-20 package. |
| 74LVT244PW | Lower VCC range (2.7–3.6 V); 3.3 V logic family; 3.1 ns propagation delay; 24 mA output drive. | Not 5 V tolerant; incompatible with mixed-voltage 5 V bus systems without level translation. | Choose only for new 3.3 V designs where power efficiency and lower EMI outweigh legacy compatibility needs. |
Compared with SN74ABT244N and 74LVT244PW, the 74ABT541PW,118 uniquely supports independent control of two output subsets via OE0/OE1-critical for time-sliced bus arbitration-while maintaining full 5 V operation, 64 mA drive, and industrial temperature range without voltage translation.

FAQ
What is the function of pins 1 and 19 on the 74ABT541PW,118?
Pins 1 and 19 are OE0 and OE1 - independent active-low 3-state output enable inputs. When either is low, its corresponding group of four outputs (e.g., OE0 controls Y0–Y3) enters high-impedance state. Both must be low to activate all eight outputs. This dual-enable architecture enables flexible bus segmentation in the 74ABT541PW,118.
Does the 74ABT541PW,118 support live insertion?
Yes, the 74ABT541PW,118 supports live insertion and extraction per manufacturer specification. Its BiCMOS design, combined with built-in latch-up protection (>500 mA) and ESD hardening (>2000 V HBM), allows safe hot-plug operation in backplane or modular systems without disrupting adjacent devices or causing system reset.
What is the maximum output current rating for the 74ABT541PW,118?
The 74ABT541PW,118 is rated for 64 mA sink current per output (IOL) and –32 mA source current (IOH) under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, Tamb = –40°C to +85°C). These values are specified at VO = 0.55 V (low) and VO = 2.0 V (high), ensuring reliable drive into standard TTL loads.
Is the 74ABT541PW,118 pin-compatible with the 74ABT241?
No, the 74ABT541PW,118 is not pin-compatible with the 74ABT241. While both are octal buffers, the 74ABT241 uses a single 3-state enable and different pin assignment (e.g., enable on pin 1 only). The 74ABT541PW,118 has dual enables (pins 1 and 19) and distinct pinout per SOT360-1 layout - verified in Philips' 1998 datasheet Figure 1.
What is the power-up behavior of the 74ABT541PW,118 outputs?
The 74ABT541PW,118 features power-up 3-state: outputs remain in high-impedance until VCC reaches valid operating range and enable inputs stabilize. This prevents bus contention during power sequencing. The behavior is inherent to the BiCMOS design and confirmed in the "Power-up 3-State" feature list and functional description of the 74ABT541PW,118.
