Product details

Overview

74HC540N,652 from Nexperia is an 8-bit inverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for bus-oriented applications requiring bidirectional data flow control. It features dual active-low output enables (OE1, OE2), operates from 2.0 V to 6.0 V, delivers ±35 mA output drive per pin, and supports industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C) in a 20-lead DIP package.

For engineers reviewing the 74HC540N,652 datasheet, 74HC540N,652 pinout, 74HC540N,652 application, or 74HC540N,652 equivalent, key selection criteria include its CMOS-level input compatibility, 3-state bus isolation capability, propagation delay of 9–30 ns (VCC = 4.5–6.0 V), and robust ESD protection (HBM > 2000 V).

Technical Context

The 74HC540N,652 implements eight identical inverting buffer circuits with independent input-to-output logic inversion and simultaneous 3-state control via two low-active enable inputs. Its internal structure includes input clamp diodes enabling safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors.

It complies with JEDEC JESD7A (2.0–6.0 V supply) and JESD8C (2.7–3.6 V), meets Class II Level B latch-up immunity (>100 mA), and is specified across −40 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature - confirming suitability for industrial-grade digital interface and bus buffering.

Key Specifications

ParameterValue and Actual Design Meaning
Supply Voltage2.0 V to 6.0 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and battery-powered operation down to 2 V.
Output Drive±35 mA per output - sufficient to directly drive TTL loads or multiple CMOS inputs without external buffers.
Propagation Delay9 ns (typ, VCC = 6.0 V) - enables reliable operation in high-speed address/data bus applications up to ~50 MHz.
Input ThresholdsVIH = 4.2 V, VIL = 1.8 V (VCC = 6.0 V) - ensures noise margin >1.2 V under full-supply conditions.
ESD ProtectionHBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - reduces risk of handling damage during PCB assembly and field service.
Operating Temp−40 °C to +125 °C - validated for extended industrial environments including motor control and power supply monitoring.
Power DissipationPtot = 500 mW (SO20) - allows sustained operation at full load without thermal derating below 109 °C ambient.

Pinout & Package

74HC540N,652 is supplied in a 20-lead plastic dual in-line package (DIP), designated SOT146-1 per Nexperia's historical ordering information (discontinued in Rev. 8 but confirmed for N-suffix parts). Pin 1 is index-marked; package body width is 7.62 mm (0.3 inch), lead pitch is 2.54 mm.

Pin/TerminalCircuit RoleDesign Meaning
1, 19OE1, OE2Active-low 3-state enable inputs - both must be LOW to activate outputs; either HIGH forces all Yn into high-impedance state.
2–9A0–A7Inverting data inputs - each drives corresponding inverted output Y0–Y7 when enabled.
10GNDGround reference - decoupling capacitor (100 nF) recommended adjacent to pin 10 for noise suppression.
11–18Y0–Y7Inverting 3-state outputs - Yn = NOT(An) when OE1=OE2=LOW; otherwise high-Z.
20VCCPositive supply - must be bypassed to GND with low-ESR ceramic capacitor (100 nF) near pin 20.

Key Features

FeatureDesign Value
Wide Supply Range2.0–6.0 V operation enables direct compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V logic families without level shifters.
Inverting 3-State LogicDual OE inputs allow flexible bus arbitration - e.g., OE1 for primary control, OE2 for fail-safe disable or test mode.
Input Clamp DiodesPermits safe connection of inputs to voltages > VCC (e.g., 12 V sensor signals) using series current-limiting resistors.
High Noise ImmunityCMOS input structure provides >40 % VCC noise margin at VCC = 5 V, reducing susceptibility to crosstalk in dense PCB layouts.
Latch-Up RobustnessExceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B - prevents destructive latch-up during transient overvoltage events.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal inverting buffer applications.

Alternative PartTechnical DifferenceApplication DifferenceSelection Advice
74HCT540N,652TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min), same pinout and 3-state behavior.Better suited for interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL logic where HC thresholds may cause marginal switching.Select when driving from standard TTL outputs or when VIH/VIL margins must match legacy 5 V systems.
SN74LS540NBipolar TTL technology; higher ICC (45 mA typ), slower propagation (25 ns min), 4.75–5.25 V only.Compatible only in 5 V-only systems; lacks wide supply range and ESD robustness of HC family.Choose only for drop-in replacement in existing LS-based designs where power and speed constraints permit.

Compared with 74HC540N,652, the 74HCT540N,652 offers improved input compatibility with TTL sources but identical timing and drive strength, while SN74LS540N trades CMOS efficiency for legacy TTL interoperability at the cost of higher power and narrower voltage tolerance.

FAQ

What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the 74HC540N,652?

The 74HC540N,652 has an absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) of +7.0 V per Table 4 in the Nexperia datasheet. However, the recommended operating range is 2.0 V to 6.0 V. Operation above 6.0 V is not guaranteed and risks permanent damage or accelerated parametric drift, even if within the limiting value.

Does the 74HC540N,652 support mixed-voltage interfacing, such as 3.3 V inputs driving a 5 V-powered 74HC540N,652?

Yes - the 74HC540N,652 accepts input voltages up to VCC + 0.5 V (with current limiting), and its CMOS inputs have VIH = 4.2 V at VCC = 6.0 V. When powered at 5 V, VIH ≈ 3.15 V, making it compatible with 3.3 V logic outputs. Input clamp diodes further enable safe overvoltage tolerance when series resistors are used.

What is the function of the two output enable pins (OE1 and OE2) on the 74HC540N,652?

Both OE1 (pin 1) and OE2 (pin 19) are active-low enables. The outputs Y0–Y7 enter high-impedance state if *either* OE1 *or* OE2 is HIGH. Outputs are active (inverting) only when *both* OE1 and OE2 are LOW. This dual-enable architecture supports hierarchical bus control or redundant safety disable paths in critical systems.

Can the 74HC540N,652 drive LEDs directly, and what current limit applies per output?

Yes - the 74HC540N,652 can drive LEDs directly with up to 35 mA sink/source per output (IO = ±35 mA, Table 4). For a typical red LED (VF ≈ 1.8 V @ 20 mA), connect anode to VCC and cathode to Yn, enabling current flow when Yn = LOW. Always verify total package power (≤500 mW) and thermal rise under sustained load.

Is the 74HC540N,652 pin-compatible with the 74HCT540N,652?

Yes - the 74HC540N,652 and 74HCT540N,652 share identical pinout, package (SOT146-1 DIP), and 3-state functional behavior. The sole difference is input threshold compatibility: HC uses CMOS thresholds (~70 % VCC), while HCT uses TTL thresholds (~2.0 V VIH), making them electrically interchangeable only when source logic levels meet both families' requirements.
