Product details
Overview
74ACT16541DLG4 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit noninverting buffer/driver IC with dual 3-state output-enable control per 8-bit section, designed for high-speed TTL-compatible bus interfacing in industrial and embedded systems. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±24 mA drive strength, supports –40°C to 85°C temperature range, and features flow-through pinout in 48-pin SSOP (DL) package.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT16541DLG4 datasheet, 74ACT16541DLG4 pinout, 74ACT16541DLG4 application, or 74ACT16541DLG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual independent 3-state enable logic, 5-V ACT-family speed/power balance, distributed VCC/GND layout support, and compatibility with legacy Widebus™-based backplane and memory interface designs.
Technical Context
The 74ACT16541DLG4 implements two independent 8-bit noninverting buffer sections, each requiring both OE inputs (e.g., 1OE1 and 1OE2) low to activate outputs - enabling granular bus segment control. Its EPIC™ 1-µm CMOS process ensures 500-mA latch-up immunity at 125°C and TTL-voltage-compatible inputs (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VVIH ≥ 2 V).
Switching performance is characterized at VCC = 5 V: tPLH/tPHL ≤ 9 ns, tPZL/tPHZ ≤ 11 ns, with power dissipation capacitance of 40 pF (outputs enabled) and 9.5 pF (outputs disabled), supporting low-noise, high-density PCB layouts via distributed VCC/GND pins and flow-through architecture.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
48-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP-DL), 300-mil body width, 25-mil center-to-center pin spacing, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1 (260°C peak reflow, unlimited floor life).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 24, 25, 48 | Output Enable (1OE1, 1OE2, 2OE1, 2OE2) | Active-low dual enables per 8-bit section - both must be low for Y outputs to drive; enables bus isolation granularity |
| 2–9, 36–43 | Inputs (1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8) | TTL-compatible data inputs - accept 0.8 V / 2 V thresholds without level-shifting |
| 10–11, 13–20, 26–27, 29–34 | Outputs (1Y1–1Y8, 2Y1–2Y8) | 3-state buffered outputs - high-Z when any OE is high, reducing bus contention risk |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through pinout architecture | Input and output pins aligned on opposite sides - simplifies layer routing and reduces trace crossovers on dense PCBs |
| Dual independent 3-state control per 8-bit section | Two OE inputs per section require logical AND condition - allows selective activation of half-bus segments |
| EPIC™ 1-µm CMOS process | Enables 500-mA latch-up immunity and stable operation up to 125°C junction temperature |
| Distributed VCC/GND pin configuration | 14 dedicated power/ground terminals across 48-pin layout - lowers impedance path and suppresses ground bounce |
| TTL-input voltage compatibility | Accepts standard 74LS/74F logic levels directly - eliminates need for external level translators in mixed-logic systems |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit noninverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT16244DLR | Same 48-pin DL package, but uses single OE per 4-bit group (4 enables total); higher ICC (max 120 µA vs 80 µA) | Less granular enable control - suitable for simpler bus segmentation where per-4-bit gating suffices | Select when finer-grained 8-bit section control is unnecessary and cost-per-enable is prioritized |
| 74LVCH16244ADLGR | 3.3-V tolerant, dual-supply capable (1.65–3.6 V core, 3.6 V I/O), 48-pin DL, but not TTL-input compatible | Requires level translation for 5-V TTL systems; optimized for low-voltage portable/embedded use | Select only in new 3.3-V designs; incompatible with direct 5-V TTL input interfaces |
Compared with SN74ACT16244DLR and 74LVCH16244ADLGR, the 74ACT16541DLG4 uniquely provides dual OE per 8-bit section for precise bus partitioning, maintains full TTL input compatibility without translation, and delivers the highest latch-up immunity in its class - making it optimal for industrial backplane upgrades and legacy system sustainment.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the 74ACT16541DLG4?
The 74ACT16541DLG4 operates over a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V, with recommended nominal VCC = 5 V. It is not rated for 3.3-V operation, and applying voltages outside this range may cause permanent damage or undefined behavior. The device's TTL-compatible inputs function correctly within this 5-V window, ensuring interoperability with legacy 74LS and 74F logic families.
How does the dual output-enable logic work on the 74ACT16541DLG4?
The 74ACT16541DLG4 divides its 16-bit functionality into two independent 8-bit sections, each controlled by two active-low output-enable inputs (e.g., 1OE1 and 1OE2 for Section 1). Both enables must be low simultaneously for that section's outputs to drive; if either is high, all eight outputs enter high-impedance state. This AND-gated enable scheme enables precise bus segment isolation without external logic.
Is the 74ACT16541DLG4 pin-compatible with other 48-pin DL-package buffers?
The 74ACT16541DLG4 uses the standard 48-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (DL) footprint defined by Texas Instruments, matching mechanical dimensions and pin pitch (25-mil) of SN74ACT16244DLR and 74LVCH16244ADLGR. However, pin functions differ - especially OE and I/O assignments - so electrical compatibility requires verification against the specific function table and signal mapping of the target design.
What is the maximum output current drive capability of the 74ACT16541DLG4?
The 74ACT16541DLG4 delivers ±24 mA per output under recommended conditions (VCC = 5.5 V, TA = 25°C), supporting direct drive of multiple TTL loads or 50-Ω transmission lines. Absolute maximum ratings permit short-duration ±75 mA pulses (≤10 ms), but sustained operation above ±24 mA risks exceeding thermal limits or violating VOL/VOH specs. Total package current is limited to ±400 mA across all pins.
Does the 74ACT16541DLG4 support hot-swap or live-insertion applications?
The 74ACT16541DLG4 is not explicitly characterized for hot-swap operation. While its 3-state outputs and high latch-up immunity (500 mA at 125°C) provide inherent robustness, it lacks integrated slew-rate control, hot-swap biasing circuitry, or IEC 61000-4-2 ESD certification beyond standard HBM (≥2 kV). For live-insertion, external current-limiting resistors and sequencing controls are recommended to prevent bus contention during insertion.
