Product details
Overview
CD54HC541F from Texas Instruments is a non-inverting octal buffer and line driver with three-state outputs, designed for high-reliability military and aerospace bus interface applications. It operates across -55°C to 125°C, supports 2V–6V supply, delivers 15 LSTTL load drive capability, and achieves 9ns typical propagation delay at 5V/15pF.
For engineers reviewing the CD54HC541F datasheet, CD54HC541F pinout, CD54HC541F application, or CD54HC541F equivalent, this device serves as a radiation-tolerant, wide-temperature bus driver for avionics data buses, secure embedded control backplanes, and high-integrity instrumentation systems requiring deterministic three-state timing and low static power.
Technical Context
The CD54HC541F implements dual independent output-enable controls (OE1 and OE2) that place all eight outputs into high-impedance state when either is HIGH - enabling flexible bus arbitration in multi-driver systems. Its HC logic family ensures CMOS-level input thresholds (VIH = 1.5V min at 2V VCC), rail-to-rail output swing, and balanced rise/fall times.
It features buffered inputs with 10pF typical input capacitance and 20pF three-state output capacitance, supporting stable operation under heavy capacitive loading. The device draws only 8µA typical quiescent current at 25°C and maintains fanout of 15 LSTTL loads across its full temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Type | Non-inverting octal buffer with three-state outputs - enables bidirectional bus driving without signal inversion |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2V to 6V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and battery-backed operation down to 2V |
| Propagation Delay | 9ns typical at VCC = 5V, CL = 15pF - ensures sub-10ns timing margin for 50MHz+ synchronous bus cycles |
| Output Drive Strength | 15 LSTTL loads - sufficient to drive long PCB traces or multiple downstream receivers without external buffering |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-range military, space, and downhole industrial environments |
| Input Leakage Current | ±1µA max at -55°C to +125°C - minimizes unintended biasing in high-impedance sensor or analog-coupled interfaces |
| Three-State Leakage | ±10µA max at -55°C to +125°C - prevents bus contention during hot-swap or partial-power-down sequences |
Pinout & Package
CD54HC541F uses a 20-lead CERDIP (Ceramic Dual In-line Package) with hermetic sealing suitable for high-reliability and extended-temperature applications. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; package outline conforms to JEDEC MS-013 standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | Input A0–A7 | Non-inverting data inputs - directly drive corresponding Y outputs when both OE1 and OE2 are LOW |
| 9 | GND | Ground reference for logic and power - must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise |
| 10 | VCC | Positive supply (2V–6V) - requires local 0.1µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin |
| 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 | Output Y0–Y7 | Three-state buffered outputs - high-impedance when OE1 or OE2 is HIGH; otherwise replicate A0–A7 non-inverted |
| 19 | OE1 | Output enable 1 - active-LOW control; HIGH forces all Y outputs to high-Z regardless of OE2 state |
| 20 | OE2 | Output enable 2 - active-LOW control; both OE1 and OE2 must be LOW for output assertion |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Supply Range | 2V–6V operation enables compatibility with 3.3V, 5V, and legacy 2.5V logic domains without level shifters |
| High Noise Immunity | NIL/NIL = 30% of VCC at 5V - rejects >1.5V of coupled noise on inputs, critical in EMI-prone avionics enclosures |
| Low Static Power | 160µA max ICC over full temperature range - reduces thermal load in sealed, convection-limited chassis |
| Dual Output Enables | Independent OE1/OE2 pins allow hierarchical bus control - e.g., OE1 for subsystem-level disable, OE2 for board-level arbitration |
| Hermetic CERDIP Packaging | 20-lead ceramic DIP with glass-sealed leads - meets MIL-STD-883 requirements for moisture resistance and long-term reliability |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal three-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD74HC541M | SOIC-20 package, commercial temperature range (-55°C to 125°C same, but not QML-qualified) | Lacks military qualification and hermetic sealing - suitable for industrial prototypes, not flight hardware | Select for cost-sensitive ground-based test equipment where CERDIP reliability is unnecessary |
| CD54HCT541F3A | HCT logic family: TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2V min), 4.5V–5.5V only supply range | Required when interfacing legacy 5V TTL systems; incompatible with 2V–3.3V supplies | Choose only when existing system uses strict TTL input thresholds and cannot tolerate HC's higher VIH at low VCC |
Compared with CD74HC541M and CD54HCT541F3A, the CD54HC541F provides unique combination of hermetic CERDIP packaging, full military temperature range, and 2V–6V flexibility - making it irreplaceable for deployed aerospace systems where qualification traceability and environmental resilience are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for CD54HC541F?
The CD54HC541F is rated for continuous operation from -55°C to +125°C, meeting MIL-PRF-38535 Class K requirements. This specification is validated across all electrical parameters in the datasheet, including propagation delay, output drive, and leakage currents - ensuring reliable function in engine bays, satellite payloads, and geothermal probe housings where ambient extremes exceed commercial-grade limits.
Does CD54HC541F support 3.3V logic interfaces?
Yes, CD54HC541F fully supports 3.3V operation: its 2V–6V supply range includes 3.3V nominal, and input thresholds scale with VCC (VIH ≥ 1.5V at 3.3V). At 3.3V, it delivers rail-aligned VOH/VOL, 15 LSTTL drive, and 12ns typical propagation delay - making it ideal for bridging 3.3V microcontrollers to legacy 5V bus infrastructure without level shifters.
How does the dual output-enable architecture of CD54HC541F improve system design?
The CD54HC541F's separate OE1 and OE2 pins allow hierarchical bus control: either pin asserted HIGH places all eight outputs in high-impedance state, enabling fail-safe arbitration. This permits one enable for subsystem-level shutdown (e.g., power fault) and the other for dynamic channel selection - reducing external logic and improving fault containment in safety-critical systems using CD54HC541F.
Is CD54HC541F pin-compatible with CD54HC540F?
No, CD54HC541F is not pin-compatible with CD54HC540F. While both are 20-pin CERDIP octal buffers, the CD54HC540F is inverting and has identical pinout but opposite logic polarity on outputs Y0–Y7. Swapping them causes functional inversion - requiring PCB redesign or logic correction. Always verify truth table alignment before substitution.
What packaging and qualification standards apply to CD54HC541F?
CD54HC541F uses a 20-lead hermetically sealed CERDIP package compliant with MIL-STD-883 test methods and qualified per QML-38535 Class K. It carries full radiation tolerance documentation, lot traceability, and extended burn-in - distinguishing it from commercial SOIC variants like CD74HC541M which lack military screening and hermeticity required for CD54HC541F deployment.
