Product details
Overview
74ACT16541DLR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit noninverting buffer/driver IC with dual 3-state output-enable control per 8-bit section, TTL-compatible inputs, 5-V supply operation, ±24-mA drive strength, and 3.1–9.2-ns propagation delay. It serves as a high-speed bus interface and data isolation component in industrial backplanes and memory expansion subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT16541DLR datasheet, 74ACT16541DLR pinout, 74ACT16541DLR application, or 74ACT16541DLR equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state output timing (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 9.7 ns), latch-up immunity (500 mA at 125°C), flow-through pinout for PCB signal integrity, and SSOP-48 package compatibility with high-density routing.
Technical Context
The 74ACT16541DLR implements two independent 8-bit buffer sections, each requiring both OE1 and OE2 inputs low to enable outputs; either OE high forces that section's Y outputs into high-impedance state. Its EPIC™ 1-µm CMOS process delivers rail-to-rail output swing and TTL-level input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2 V).
Distributed VCC/GND pins across the 48-pin SSOP package minimize simultaneous switching noise, while the flow-through architecture aligns inputs on one side and outputs on the opposite side-reducing layer transitions and crosstalk in multilayer PCB layouts.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT16541DGGR | Same function, 48-pin TSSOP package (0.5-mm pitch), identical AC/DC specs, but thinner profile (1.2-mm height vs. DL's 2.0-mm) | Better suited for space-constrained designs where board height is limited; requires requalification of solder paste volume and reflow profile | Select SN74ACT16541DGGR when footprint area is constrained and vertical clearance <1.5 mm is required. |
| 74ACT16244DLR | Inverting output logic (vs. noninverting), otherwise identical pinout, timing, and drive strength; shares same EPIC process and temperature range | Required only when system-level logic polarity mandates inversion - e.g., active-low enable chains or complemented bus protocols | Choose 74ACT16244DLR only if inverting behavior matches upstream/downstream signal polarity requirements. |
Compared with SN74ACT16541DGGR and 74ACT16244DLR, the 74ACT16541DLR offers optimal PCB layout efficiency via its flow-through SSOP-DL pinout and noninverting logic-critical for minimizing trace length in high-speed backplane interconnects.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 74ACT16541DLR?
The 74ACT16541DLR is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This extended commercial temperature range supports deployment in industrial control cabinets, factory-floor instrumentation, and outdoor telecom infrastructure where ambient temperatures exceed standard commercial limits. The EPIC™ process ensures parametric stability across this full range without derating.
Does the 74ACT16541DLR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Yes - per TI's recommended operating conditions, all unused inputs on the 74ACT16541DLR must be held statically high or low to prevent floating states that could cause excessive ICC current or undefined output behavior. TI specifies this requirement explicitly in Note 3 of the SCAS208A datasheet to ensure predictable 3-state control and avoid shoot-through current paths.
Can the 74ACT16541DLR drive a 50-pF load at 10 MHz without signal degradation?
Yes - the 74ACT16541DLR delivers ±24 mA output drive and exhibits typical propagation delays of 3.1–9.2 ns at 5 V, enabling clean 10-MHz square-wave transmission into 50-pF loads. Its power dissipation capacitance (Cpd) is specified at 40 pF per buffer when enabled, confirming stable high-frequency performance without excessive dynamic power draw or edge rounding.
Is the 74ACT16541DLR pin-compatible with the 74ACT16244DLR?
No - although both are 48-pin SSOP buffers from TI's ACT family, the 74ACT16541DLR is noninverting while the 74ACT16244DLR is inverting. Their pinouts differ: 74ACT16244DLR maps inverted outputs to pins 10–17 and 26–33, whereas 74ACT16541DLR places noninverted outputs at those locations. Substitution requires logic-level verification and may necessitate PCB redesign.
What does the "DL" in 74ACT16541DLR signify?
The "DL" in 74ACT16541DLR denotes Texas Instruments' Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP) variant with 48 pins, 300-mil body width, and 0.025-inch center-to-center pin pitch. This package provides double the I/O density of standard SOIC while maintaining compatibility with automated SMT assembly processes and offering superior thermal and electrical performance versus older plastic DIP or SOIC formats.
