Product details
Overview
74HCT541DB,112 from Nexperia is an octal non-inverting 3-state buffer/line driver with TTL-compatible inputs, operating from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, featuring dual active-low output enables (OE1, OE2), ±6 mA output drive at VCC = 4.5 V, and operation over -40 °C to +125 °C - used in bidirectional bus interfacing and address/data line driving in industrial microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT541DB,112 datasheet, 74HCT541DB,112 pinout, 74HCT541DB,112 application, or 74HCT541DB,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-level input compatibility, dual independent 3-state control, SO20 package thermal derating above 109 °C, and guaranteed propagation delay ≤28 ns at 4.5 V with 50 pF load.
Technical Context
This device implements eight identical non-inverting buffer circuits, each with independent output enable control via two shared active-low signals (OE1 and OE2). All outputs enter high-impedance state when either enable is HIGH, supporting flexible bus arbitration.
Input clamping diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when current-limiting resistors are used. Static characteristics confirm VIH = 2.0 V (min) and VIL = 0.8 V (max) at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, ensuring robust TTL logic level recognition across temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL and mixed-voltage industrial systems. |
| Input Logic Type | TTL-compatible - accepts standard 5 V TTL thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), eliminating level-shifting in legacy designs. |
| Output Drive | ±6.0 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive 50 pF loads with <28 ns propagation delay, supporting moderate-speed bus loading. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended industrial and under-hood automotive-adjacent applications. |
| Propagation Delay | 15 ns (typ), 42 ns (max) at VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF - enables reliable timing in sub-25 MHz digital control buses. |
| 3-State Enable Time | 21 ns (typ), 53 ns (max) - supports fast bus turnaround in multiplexed address/data architectures. |
| Power Dissipation | 39 pF CPD - enables accurate dynamic power estimation (PD = CPD × VCC² × fi × N) for thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
SOT163-1 (SO20) plastic small outline package, 20-pin, 7.5 mm body width, 1.27 mm pitch; JEDEC MS-013 compliant; thermal resistance θJA = 80 K/W (typ), derates linearly at 12.3 mW/K above 109 °C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | OE1, OE2 | Active-low output enable inputs - either HIGH forces all eight Yn outputs into high-impedance state. |
| 2–9 | A0–A7 | Non-inverting data inputs - directly pass logic state to corresponding Yn outputs when both OEs are LOW. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - must be low-impedance connection to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 11–18 | Y0–Y7 | 3-state buffered outputs - mirror A0–A7 when OE1=OE2=LOW; high-Z otherwise. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply - decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) required within 10 mm of this pin for stable operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide supply range | 4.5–5.5 V - eliminates need for dedicated 5 V regulators in mixed-supply systems. |
| Input clamp diodes | Integrated - permits safe interface to signals up to VCC + 0.5 V using external current-limiting resistors. |
| Latch-up immunity | >100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B - ensures robustness against transient-induced latch-up in noisy environments. |
| ESD protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - reduces risk of handling damage during PCB assembly and field service. |
| CMOS power efficiency | ICC ≤ 8 μA (typ) at VCC = 5.5 V - enables low-quiescent-current operation in always-on industrial monitoring nodes. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT541N | Dual in-line package (DIP-20); higher θJA (~100 K/W); no SO20 footprint compatibility. | Prototyping and through-hole PCBs only; unsuitable for surface-mount production with SO20 land pattern. | Select when hand-soldering or breadboarding is required; verify thermal margin at full load in still air. |
| 74LVC541APW | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); CMOS inputs; 32 mA drive; TSSOP20 package. | Designed for 3.3 V systems; incompatible with 5 V TTL inputs without level translation. | Choose only for new 3.3 V designs requiring higher drive strength; not a drop-in replacement for 5 V TTL interfaces. |
Compared with SN74HCT541N and 74LVC541APW, the 74HCT541DB,112 uniquely combines 5 V TTL compatibility, SO20 surface-mount packaging, and extended temperature qualification - making it the sole option for volume-manufactured industrial controllers requiring direct legacy bus interfacing and thermal reliability up to 125 °C.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current per pin for 74HCT541DB,112?
The absolute maximum DC output current per pin is ±35 mA, but the recommended operating condition specifies ±6.0 mA at VCC = 4.5 V for guaranteed timing and voltage levels. Sustained operation above ±6 mA may increase propagation delay and reduce noise margin, especially at elevated temperatures.
Can OE1 and OE2 be tied together for single-enable operation?
Yes - OE1 and OE2 can be connected to a common control signal. The functional table confirms that a HIGH on either enable forces all outputs to high-impedance, so tying them simplifies control logic while preserving full 3-state functionality with one net.
Is 74HCT541DB,112 pin-compatible with 74HC541DB variants?
No - although both share the same SO20 pinout, 74HC541DB uses CMOS input thresholds (VIH ≥ 3.15 V at VCC = 4.5 V), whereas 74HCT541DB,112 requires only VIH ≥ 2.0 V. Swapping them risks logic misreads in TTL-driven systems due to insufficient input high voltage margin.
Does this device require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on OE pins?
No - OE1 and OE2 have no internal pull resistors and must be actively driven. Leaving them floating risks undefined output states; a 10 kΩ pull-down resistor is recommended if the controlling logic cannot guarantee a defined LOW during power-up or reset.
