Product details
Overview
74HCT7541PW,118 from Nexperia is an octal Schmitt-trigger buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, dual active-low output enables (OE1, OE2), TTL-compatible input thresholds, and operation across -40 °C to +125 °C. It delivers jitter-free signal conditioning for noisy industrial bus lines, supports 6.0 mA drive strength at 4.5 V VCC, and features input clamp diodes enabling overvoltage-tolerant interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT7541PW,118 datasheet, 74HCT7541PW,118 pinout, 74HCT7541PW,118 application, or 74HCT7541PW,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include Schmitt-trigger hysteresis (0.23 V typ at 4.5 V), 3-state enable timing (18–48 ns enable/disable), TSSOP20 thermal derating (10.0 mW/K above 100 °C), and TTL-level input compatibility.
Technical Context
This device implements dual independent 3-state control logic: OE1 and OE2 must both be LOW to enable all eight non-inverting outputs (Y0–Y7); either HIGH forces full high-impedance OFF-state. Inputs use Schmitt-trigger architecture with VT+ = 2.0 V and VT− = 0.7 V (typ, VCC = 4.5 V), delivering 0.23 V hysteresis for noise rejection on slow-rising signals.
It operates within a strict 4.5–5.5 V supply range per JEDEC JESD8C, draws ≤160 μA ICC (max, -40 °C to +125 °C), and maintains VOL ≤0.4 V at 6.0 mA sink current. Output transition times are 5–12 ns (typ) under 50 pF load, supporting reliable timing in 25 MHz digital interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with 5 V TTL systems and stable operation under rail variation. |
| Input Thresholds | VT+ = 2.0 V, VT− = 0.7 V (typ, VCC = 4.5 V) - Enables clean digitization of slow or noisy analog-like signals. |
| Output Drive | ±6.0 mA (min) - Sufficient to drive standard 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS inputs without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | 19–48 ns (An→Yn, VCC = 4.5 V) - Supports reliable timing in sub-25 MHz synchronous bus applications. |
| Hysteresis Voltage | 0.23 V (typ) - Rejects up to ±115 mV of input noise without false triggering. |
| 3-State Enable Time | 18–48 ns (OE→Yn, VCC = 4.5 V) - Allows precise bus arbitration timing in shared-data-path systems. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor-control enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1): 20-pin thin shrink small outline, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.1 mm max height - optimized for high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | OE1, OE2 | Active-low 3-state enables - both must be LOW for output drive; either HIGH disables all Y0–Y7 simultaneously. |
| 2–9 | A0–A7 | Non-inverting Schmitt-trigger inputs - accept slow or noisy signals and produce clean digital edges. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - decoupling capacitor placement here minimizes switching noise coupling into logic core. |
| 11–18 | Y0–Y7 | 3-state buffered outputs - high-impedance when OE1/OE2 HIGH; driven HIGH/LOW otherwise. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply - requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin for stable transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5 V - interoperates directly with legacy 5 V TTL logic without level shifters. |
| Schmitt-trigger hysteresis | 0.23 V typical - eliminates chatter on slowly transitioning signals such as mechanical switch debouncing or sensor outputs. |
| Input clamp diodes | Supports VI up to VCC + 0.5 V with current limiting - enables safe interface to 12 V sensors or open-collector buses using series resistors. |
| Low ICC leakage | ≤160 μA total supply current (max, -40 °C to +125 °C) - reduces standby power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
| JEDEC-compliant ESD | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - withstands handling and board-level electrostatic events without latch-up or parametric shift. |
Applications
| Industrial Bus Interface | Motor Control Signal Conditioning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal Schmitt-trigger buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT244PW,118 | Non-Schmitt inputs; no hysteresis; identical 3-state control and drive strength. | Lacks noise immunity on slow inputs; unsuitable for mechanical switches or analog sensor conditioning. | Select when interfacing clean digital sources only and cost sensitivity outweighs noise margin needs. |
| SN74LVTH162244DGGR | 16-bit, 3.3 V only; LVCMOS input thresholds; higher drive (24 mA); different pinout. | Requires level translation for 5 V systems; not drop-in compatible; better for high-speed 3.3 V buses. | Choose for new 3.3 V designs needing higher fanout or lower VCC, not for 5 V legacy replacement. |
Compared with 74HCT7541PW,118, the 74HCT244PW,118 sacrifices Schmitt-trigger noise rejection for lower cost, while SN74LVTH162244DGGR trades 5 V compatibility and pin-for-pin fit for higher speed and density in 3.3 V domains - neither replicates its unique combination of TTL input compatibility, hysteresis, and TSSOP20 footprint.

FAQ
Can 74HCT7541PW,118 operate at 3.3 V?
No. The 74HCT7541PW,118 is specified only for 4.5–5.5 V operation per JEDEC JESD8C. At 3.3 V, input thresholds fall outside TTL compatibility (VIH minimum becomes ~2.0 V, exceeding 3.3 V × 0.7), and output drive degrades below specification. Use 74LVC7541 for 3.3 V systems.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
The datasheet specifies dynamic characteristics up to 50 pF (CL = 50 pF). While it may function with higher loads, propagation delay increases linearly (~1 ns/pF), and transition times degrade beyond 15 ns. For >50 pF, add series termination or use a dedicated line driver with higher current capability.
How do OE1 and OE2 interact in 3-state control?
Both OE1 and OE2 must be LOW to enable outputs. If either is HIGH, all Y0–Y7 enter high-impedance state regardless of A0–A7 or the other OE. This dual-enable structure allows hardware-based bus arbitration - e.g., one OE tied to system reset, the other to address decoder output.
Is thermal derating required for continuous operation at +125 °C?
Yes. For the TSSOP20 (SOT360-1) package, total power dissipation derates linearly at 10.0 mW/K above +100 °C. At +125 °C, Ptot must be limited to 500 mW − (25 K × 10.0 mW/K) = 250 mW. This constrains maximum simultaneous output switching frequency and load capacitance.
