Product details
Overview
74HCT7540N,112 from Nexperia is an octal inverting Schmitt-trigger buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, dual active-low output enables (OE1, OE2), TTL-compatible input levels, and operation across 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply. It delivers jitter-free signal conditioning for noisy industrial bus interfaces and supports high-noise immunity in motor control I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT7540N,112 datasheet, 74HCT7540N,112 pinout, 74HCT7540N,112 application, or 74HCT7540N,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include its Schmitt-trigger hysteresis (0.17 V min at 4.5 V), 3-state enable timing (19 ns enable time), TTL-level input compatibility, and SO20 package thermal derating profile.
Technical Context
The 74HCT7540N,112 implements dual independent 3-state controls (OE1 and OE2) enabling flexible bus partitioning - both must be LOW for active output drive; either HIGH forces all eight Yn outputs into high-impedance. Its Schmitt-trigger inputs feature asymmetric thresholds (VT+ = 2.0 V, VT− = 0.64 V at VCC = 4.5 V), delivering 0.23 V hysteresis to reject slow-rising noise on long traces.
Static DC parameters are specified over −40 °C to +125 °C, with VOL ≤ 0.26 V at IO = 6.0 mA and VOH ≥ 3.7 V at same load. Dynamic performance includes 19 ns typical propagation delay (An to Yn), 12 ns transition time, and 31 pF power dissipation capacitance - all measured under 4.5 V supply and 50 pF load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Octal inverting buffer with Schmitt-trigger inputs and 3-state outputs |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - matches standard TTL systems without level-shifting |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | OE1, OE2 | Active-low 3-state enables - independent control allows partial bus isolation |
| 2–9 | A0–A7 | Inverting data inputs with Schmitt-trigger thresholds - tolerate slow edges and EMI |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm of pin 10 and 20 |
| 11–18 | Y0–Y7 | Inverting 3-state outputs - high-Z state leakage < ±5.0 μA at +125 °C |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal inverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT240D,653 | Same SO20 package, identical TTL input levels and 3-state function, but non-Schmitt inputs | Lacks hysteresis - unsuitable for noisy or slow-rising signals without external RC filtering | Select when interfacing clean logic sources where Schmitt triggering adds unnecessary delay |
| SN74HCT541N | PDIP-20 package, same electrical specs, but single OE pin instead of dual OE1/OE2 | Reduced bus partitioning flexibility - all eight outputs enable/disable simultaneously | Choose for cost-sensitive through-hole designs requiring only global 3-state control |
Compared with 74HCT7540N,112, the 74HCT240D,653 trades hysteresis for slightly lower propagation delay (17 ns), while SN74HCT541N sacrifices pin-level enable granularity for legacy through-hole compatibility - neither offers the combined Schmitt + dual-OE capability critical for robust industrial signal routing.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the 74HCT7540N,112?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) for the 74HCT7540N,112 is +7.0 V, but recommended operation is limited to 4.5 V to 5.5 V per datasheet Table 5. Exceeding 5.5 V risks violating DC specifications and may accelerate parametric drift over temperature and lifetime - sustained operation above 5.5 V voids guaranteed performance for the 74HCT7540N,112.
Does the 74HCT7540N,112 support operation at −40 °C to +125 °C?
Yes, the 74HCT7540N,112 is fully specified and tested across −40 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature, including static parameters (VOH/VOL), dynamic timing (tpd, ten), and leakage currents (IOZ, II). This full-range qualification is explicitly stated in Tables 5, 6, and 7 of the Rev. 8 datasheet, confirming suitability for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications.
How does the dual output enable (OE1/OE2) function in the 74HCT7540N,112?
In the 74HCT7540N,112, both OE1 and OE2 must be LOW to activate output drivers; if either is HIGH, all eight Yn outputs enter high-impedance state. This dual-enable architecture allows hardware-level bus segmentation - for example, OE1 can control Y0–Y3 while OE2 controls Y4–Y7 - enabling partial bus isolation without software intervention or additional logic.
What is the input hysteresis voltage of the 74HCT7540N,112 at 4.5 V supply?
At VCC = 4.5 V, the 74HCT7540N,112 exhibits a minimum hysteresis voltage (VH) of 0.17 V, with typical value 0.23 V and maximum 0.23 V (Table 10). This is calculated as VT+ − VT− = 2.0 V − 0.64 V = 1.36 V nominal difference, but VH is defined as the differential threshold span - confirmed as 0.17 V min in the 74HCT7540N,112 transfer characteristics table.
Is the 74HCT7540N,112 pin-compatible with the 74HC7540N variant?
Yes, the 74HCT7540N,112 shares identical pinout, package (SO20/SOT163-1), and functional diagram with the 74HC7540N, but differs in input threshold levels: 74HCT7540N,112 uses TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min), whereas 74HC7540N requires CMOS-level inputs (VIH = 3.15 V min at VCC = 4.5 V). Electrical substitution is possible only when driving source logic meets the respective input voltage requirements.
