Product details
Overview
CD54ACT541F3A from Texas Instruments is a non-inverting octal 3-state buffer/line driver with dual active-LOW output enables, fabricated using Advanced CMOS Technology (ACT), operating over –55°C to +125°C, supporting 5-V supply, and delivering ±24 mA output drive per pin for high-noise-immunity bus interfacing in military-grade systems.
For engineers reviewing the CD54ACT541F3A datasheet, CD54ACT541F3A pinout, CD54ACT541F3A application, or CD54ACT541F3A equivalent, key selection criteria include its military temperature range, dual OE control logic, non-inverting data path, 5-V TTL-compatible inputs, and CDIP J-package mechanical compatibility with legacy high-reliability PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The CD54ACT541F3A implements eight independent non-inverting buffer channels, each with three-state output control governed by two shared active-LOW enable inputs (1OE and 2OE). Its ACT logic family ensures TTL-compatible input thresholds and CMOS-level output swing at 5 V.
It operates exclusively from a single 5-V supply, exhibits propagation delays of 6.5 ns (typical) at VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C, and supports full military temperature operation without derating-enabling direct integration into avionics backplane drivers and radiation-tolerant control modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | ACT (Advanced CMOS with TTL-compatible inputs) |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V only - no wide-VCC operation; ensures stable timing and noise margin in fixed-rail military systems |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA per output - sufficient to drive 50-Ω transmission lines or 10+ TTL loads without external buffering |
| Propagation Delay | 6.5 ns max (A→Y, VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C) - enables reliable 100-MHz bus clocking in synchronous control planes |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B for extended environmental survivability |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) - allows seamless interface with legacy 5-V microcontrollers and FPGAs |
| Output State Control | Dual active-LOW enables (1OE, 2OE) - permits independent gating of two 4-bit groups for memory-mapped I/O partitioning |
Pinout & Package
CD54ACT541F3A is housed in a 20-pin Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (CDIP) with J package drawing, hermetically sealed for moisture resistance and thermal stability across military temperature extremes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | Output Enable (1OE, 2OE) | Active-LOW enables for first four (pins 2–5) and last four (pins 13–16) outputs respectively |
| 2–5 | Data Inputs A1–A4 | Non-inverting inputs driving Y1–Y4 when 1OE = LOW |
| 6–7, 14–15 | GND / VCC | Power return and supply pins - dual GND/VCC placement minimizes ground bounce in high-speed switching |
| 9–12 | Data Inputs A5–A8 | Non-inverting inputs driving Y5–Y8 when 2OE = LOW |
| 13–16 | Outputs Y1–Y4 | Three-state buffered outputs of A1–A4 - high-Z when 1OE = HIGH |
| 17–18, 20 | VCC / GND / Y5–Y8 | Y5–Y8 outputs (active when 2OE = LOW); VCC (pin 20) and GND (pins 6, 7, 14, 15) distributed for low-impedance supply routing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-inverting 3-state buffering | Preserves signal polarity while enabling bidirectional bus arbitration via OE-controlled high-Z states |
| Dual independent output enables | Allows partitioned control of two 4-bit data lanes - critical for segmented address/data bus isolation in MIL-STD-1553 interfaces |
| MIL-PRF-38535 Class B qualification | Guarantees screening, testing, and traceability for defense/aerospace deployments requiring QML certification |
| ACT logic speed-power balance | 6.5 ns delay at 5 V with <1 µA ICC static current - achieves high throughput without excessive power dissipation in conduction-limited enclosures |
| Ceramic DIP (J package) construction | Provides superior thermal conductivity, hermeticity, and mechanical rigidity versus plastic packages - essential for shock/vibration resilience |
Applications
| Avionics Data Bus Interface | Military Microcontroller I/O Expansion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal non-inverting 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD74ACT541E | Plastic DIP (N package), commercial/military temp (–55°C to +125°C), same AC/ACT logic specs and pinout | Lacks hermetic seal and MIL-PRF-38535 qualification; suitable for cost-sensitive industrial prototypes but not flight hardware | Select CD74ACT541E only for ground-test fixtures or non-flight-critical subsystems where ceramic reliability is unnecessary |
| CD54AC541F3A | Same CDIP J package and military temp range, but AC logic family - higher propagation delay (8 ns), lower drive (±24 mA still valid), no TTL input compatibility | Lower speed and reduced noise immunity limit use in high-clock-rate avionics buses; acceptable for slower control-plane signaling | Choose CD54AC541F3A only when system timing budget allows >1.5 ns added delay and input sources are CMOS-only |
Compared with CD74ACT541E and CD54AC541F3A, the CD54ACT541F3A uniquely combines hermetic CDIP packaging, MIL-PRF-38535 Class B qualification, TTL-compatible inputs, and 6.5 ns speed - making it the sole option for production-deployed avionics requiring simultaneous reliability, interoperability, and performance.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the CD54ACT541F3A?
The CD54ACT541F3A is rated for operation from –55°C to +125°C and is fully qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B, ensuring guaranteed functionality and parametric compliance across this entire military temperature range without derating or thermal monitoring circuits.
Does the CD54ACT541F3A support 3.3-V logic interfaces?
No, the CD54ACT541F3A is a 5-V-only device with TTL-compatible input thresholds and CMOS-level outputs referenced to 5 V. It does not support 3.3-V operation, and applying 3.3-V signals to its inputs may result in marginal or undefined switching behavior due to insufficient VIH margin.
Is the CD54ACT541F3A pin-compatible with the CD74ACT541 series?
Yes, the CD54ACT541F3A shares identical pinout and logic function with CD74ACT541 variants (e.g., CD74ACT541E, CD74ACT541M), but differs in package (hermetic CDIP J vs. plastic DIP N or SOIC DW) and qualification level (MIL-PRF-38535 Class B vs. commercial/military spec).
What is the maximum output current per pin for the CD54ACT541F3A?
The CD54ACT541F3A delivers ±24 mA DC output source/sink current per pin under steady-state conditions at VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C, enabling direct drive of standard TTL loads or short PCB traces without external buffers or current-limiting resistors.
How are the two output enables (1OE and 2OE) used in system design?
The CD54ACT541F3A uses 1OE to control outputs Y1–Y4 and 2OE to control Y5–Y8, allowing independent gating of two 4-bit data groups. This enables memory-mapped I/O segmentation, selective bus arbitration, and fault-isolation schemes in safety-critical control architectures.
