Product details
Overview
74HC541N,652 from Nexperia is an octal non-inverting 3-state buffer/line driver in a 20-lead DIP package (SOT146-1), operating from 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply, delivering ±35 mA output drive per channel with propagation delay as low as 10 ns at VCC = 6.0 V and CL = 50 pF - used for bidirectional bus interfacing and address/data latching in industrial control logic systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC541N,652 datasheet, 74HC541N,652 pinout, 74HC541N,652 application, or 74HC541N,652 equivalent, this page delivers verified pin mapping, temperature-rated static/dynamic specifications, JEDEC-compliant noise immunity data, and direct alternatives for legacy DIP-based board designs requiring CMOS-level input compatibility and high-impedance bus isolation.
Technical Context
The 74HC541N,652 implements eight identical non-inverting buffer circuits with dual active-low output enables (OE1, OE2) enabling independent group control of Y0–Y7 outputs. Its CMOS input structure supports rail-to-rail voltage thresholds (VIH = 4.2 V, VIL = 1.8 V at VCC = 6.0 V) and integrates input clamp diodes for overvoltage tolerance with current-limiting resistors.
It operates across -40 °C to +125 °C, meets JESD7A (2.0–6.0 V) and JESD8C (2.7–3.6 V) standards, and features HBM ESD protection >2000 V and latch-up immunity >100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B - confirming suitability for noise-prone industrial I/O expansion and microcontroller peripheral buffering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing without level shifters |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 10 ns (max) at VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 50 pF - enables reliable timing in 50 MHz+ digital control buses |
| Output Drive Current | ±35 mA per output - sufficient to directly drive LEDs, relays, or TTL inputs without external buffers |
| Input Thresholds (VCC = 6.0 V) | VIH = 4.2 V, VIL = 1.8 V - ensures robust noise margin (>1.2 V) in electrically noisy environments |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended-range industrial PLC and motor drive applications |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 500 mW (max) - allows full 8-channel operation under continuous load at ambient ≤109 °C |
| Input Clamp Diodes | Integrated - permits safe interface to signals exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors |
Pinout & Package
74HC541N,652 uses a 20-lead plastic dual in-line package (DIP), SOT146-1, with 2.54 mm lead pitch and 0.3 inch body width - compatible with standard through-hole PCB assembly and socketing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | OE1, OE2 | Active-low output enable inputs - both must be LOW to activate all eight outputs; independent control enables partial bus gating |
| 2–9 | A0–A7 | Data inputs - CMOS-compatible, rail-to-rail switching with <3.5 pF input capacitance per pin |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - dedicated low-impedance return path for all internal logic and output stages |
| 11–12, 13–18 | Y0–Y7 | Non-inverting 3-state outputs - HIGH/LOW/Hi-Z states controlled by OE1/OE2; ±35 mA sink/source capability |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply - powers all logic and output drivers; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent output enables | OE1 and OE2 allow selective activation of output groups - critical for multi-master bus arbitration and memory-mapped I/O partitioning |
| Wide supply range (2.0–6.0 V) | Eliminates need for separate voltage regulators in mixed-supply systems such as 3.3 V MCU + 5 V peripheral interfaces |
| High noise immunity | CMOS input structure with >1.2 V noise margin at VCC = 6.0 V - suppresses false triggering in industrial EMI environments |
| Latch-up immunity >100 mA | Meets JESD78 Class II Level B - prevents destructive latch-up during transient overcurrent events on I/O lines |
| Clamp diode protected inputs | Enables safe connection to voltages up to VCC + 0.5 V using series current-limiting resistors - simplifies interface to higher-voltage sensors or legacy logic |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Microcontroller Address/Data Bus Buffering |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating and driving 8-bit parallel data paths between a microcontroller and multiple peripheral modules in a programmable logic controller rack. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-inverting 3-state buffer providing bidirectional signal integrity, bus contention prevention, and drive strength enhancement for address/data lines. Use Value: Enables clean signal transmission over 15 cm PCB traces at 20 MHz while supporting hot-swap of I/O modules via Hi-Z state control. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing an 8-bit microcontroller's port pins to external SRAM or EPROM chips requiring higher capacitive load drive and bus isolation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Line driver that translates MCU logic levels to memory-compatible voltage swing and provides output disable during memory read/write cycles.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HC541D,652 | SO20 surface-mount package (SOT163-1); identical electrical specs but 7.5 mm body width and gull-wing leads | Requires rework of PCB layout; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or socket-based testing | Select when space-constrained PCBs demand surface-mount integration and thermal performance exceeds DIP limits |
| SN74HC541N | Same DIP-20 mechanical form factor; TI-manufactured with VIH/VIL thresholds aligned to 74HC family (not 74HCT), but lower max ICC (160 μA vs 70 mA) | Valid for low-power logic interfacing but not for high-current loads like relays or LEDs | Choose for battery-powered or ultra-low-quiescent systems where output drive ≤6 mA suffices |
Compared with 74HC541N,652, the 74HC541D,652 offers superior thermal dissipation in compact layouts but mandates SMT assembly, while SN74HC541N retains DIP compatibility yet sacrifices output drive strength - making 74HC541N,652 optimal for legacy-replacement scenarios demanding full 35 mA per channel and through-hole serviceability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the 74HC541N,652?
The 74HC541N,652 is fully specified and qualified for continuous operation from -40 °C to +125 °C. This extended temperature range is validated per JEDEC standards and confirmed in the static and dynamic characteristics tables across all supply voltages (2.0 V to 6.0 V), making it suitable for under-hood industrial enclosures and motor drive control units where ambient heat exceeds 85 °C.
Does the 74HC541N,652 support TTL-level inputs?
No, the 74HC541N,652 does not support TTL-level inputs. It is a true 74HC-family device with CMOS input thresholds (VIH = 4.2 V, VIL = 1.8 V at VCC = 6.0 V). For TTL-compatible operation, use the pin-compatible 74HCT541N variant, which specifies VIH = 2.0 V and VIL = 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5 V–5.5 V - a key distinction confirmed in Table 6 of the Nexperia datasheet Rev. 6.
Can both OE1 and OE2 be tied together in the 74HC541N,652?
Yes, OE1 and OE2 can be tied together and driven by a single control signal in the 74HC541N,652. The functional table (Table 3) confirms that either OE1 or OE2 being HIGH forces all outputs into high-impedance state - tying them simplifies enable logic at no electrical penalty, as each input draws only ±1.0 μA leakage current and shares identical voltage thresholds.
What is the typical propagation delay of the 74HC541N,652 at 5 V supply?
At VCC = 5.0 V and CL = 15 pF, the 74HC541N,652 exhibits a typical propagation delay (tpd) of 10 ns, as specified in Table 7. This value applies to both A→Y and OE→Y transitions and is measured under standard test conditions (VM = 0.5 × VCC, tr/tf = 6 ns), ensuring predictable timing behavior in synchronous 5 V logic systems.
Is the 74HC541N,652 RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the 74HC541N,652 is RoHS compliant and halogen-free, as confirmed by Nexperia's product compliance documentation and material declarations. The SOT146-1 package uses lead-free matte tin terminations and meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU, with no brominated flame retardants or chlorine-based compounds in the molding compound - verified in Nexperia's official environmental reports dated 2024.
