Product details
Overview
CY74FCT2541ATQCTE4 from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting 3-state buffer/line driver with edge-rate control and 25-Ω output series resistors, designed for memory address driving, clock distribution, and bus-oriented transmitter/receiver applications in 5-V TTL/CMOS systems. It features 4.8-ns max propagation delay, ±15-mA output drive, Ioff partial-power-down support, and JESD22-compliant ESD protection (2000-V HBM).
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT2541ATQCTE4 datasheet, CY74FCT2541ATQCTE4 pinout, CY74FCT2541ATQCTE4 application, or CY74FCT2541ATQCTE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.8-ns speed grade, QSOP-20 package with 25-Ω integrated series termination, Ioff-enabled power-down isolation, and compatibility with legacy FCT/F logic designs.
Technical Context
This device implements dual 3-state enable controls (OEA and OEB) to independently manage eight noninverting buffered outputs, supporting flexible bus arbitration and bidirectional data flow. Its edge-rate control circuitry shapes output transitions to suppress transmission-line reflections without external components.
The integrated 25-Ω output series resistors are matched across all eight channels and operate across the full –40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range. Ioff functionality ensures high-impedance outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow current during partial power-down sequences in mixed-supply systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | Max 4.8 ns at VCC = 4.75–5.25 V - enables high-speed address/clock buffering in 5-V bus systems |
| Output Drive | 15 mA source / 12 mA sink - sufficient to drive 50-pF loads with TTL-compatible VOH/VOL levels |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - tightly regulated 5-V operation with 5% tolerance |
| Ioff Leakage | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V, VOUT = 4.5 V - ensures safe isolation during hot-insertion or partial power-down |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - exceeds JEDEC JESD22 requirements for industrial environments |
| Output Series Resistance | 20–40 Ω (typ 25 Ω) - reduces signal overshoot/ringing on PCB traces up to 10 cm without discrete termination |
| Input Threshold Hysteresis | 0.2 V - improves noise immunity on noisy bus lines |
Pinout & Package
Package: SSOP-20 (DBQ), 0.65-mm pitch, 7.6 mm × 5.3 mm body, 2.65 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU finish, MSL Level-2-260°C-1 year.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OEA) | Output Enable A | Active-low enable for outputs O0–O3; drives high-impedance state when high |
| 2–9 (D0–D7) | Data Inputs | Noninverting inputs accepting TTL/CMOS logic levels; VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max |
| 10 (GND) | Ground | Reference return for all signals and power; must be low-inductance connection |
| 11 (VCC) | Power Supply | 5-V supply input; requires local 0.1-µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin |
| 12 (OEB) | Output Enable B | Active-low enable for outputs O4–O7; independent control from OEA |
| 13–20 (O0–O7) | 3-State Outputs | Buffered noninverting outputs with 25-Ω series resistance; tri-state capable under OEA/OEB control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 25-Ω Output Series Resistors | Reduces PCB trace reflection noise without adding external components or layout area |
| Edge-Rate Control Circuitry | Slows output edge transitions to limit di/dt-induced crosstalk and EMI in dense routing |
| Ioff Partial-Power-Down Support | Prevents damaging backflow current when VCC is off but bus lines remain active |
| Matched Rise/Fall Times | Ensures symmetrical signal integrity for clock and strobe distribution |
| TTL/CMOS Input Compatibility | Accepts standard TTL VIH/VIL thresholds without level-shifting circuitry |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY74FCT2541CTQCT | 4.1-ns max propagation delay; otherwise identical electrical specs and pinout | Better timing margin for high-frequency address latching (≥33 MHz) | Select when propagation delay is critical and 4.1 ns enables tighter setup windows |
| SN74FCT2541ATPWR | TSSOP-20 package; same 4.8-ns speed grade and functional spec; TI's alternate marking | Same electrical behavior but different thermal resistance (JA = 66°C/W vs 68°C/W) | Choose for alternate sourcing or preferred TSSOP assembly process compatibility |
Compared with CY74FCT2541CTQCT, the CY74FCT2541ATQCTE4 trades 0.7 ns of speed for broader availability and identical noise-reduction features; versus SN74FCT2541ATPWR, it offers identical timing and drive strength in a functionally equivalent SSOP package with verified long-term industrial supply chain continuity.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for CY74FCT2541ATQCTE4?
The CY74FCT2541ATQCTE4 is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, meeting industrial-grade environmental requirements. This range is validated across all electrical specifications including propagation delay, output drive, and Ioff leakage, and aligns with its SSOP-20 package's MSL Level-2 reflow profile.
Does CY74FCT2541ATQCTE4 support hot-swap or live-insertion scenarios?
Yes, CY74FCT2541ATQCTE4 supports partial-power-down operation via its Ioff feature: when VCC = 0 V, outputs enter high-impedance state with ±1 µA leakage, preventing current backflow from live bus lines into the unpowered device - a key requirement for hot-swap backplane and modular system designs.
How does the 25-Ω output series resistance in CY74FCT2541ATQCTE4 improve signal integrity?
The 25-Ω output series resistance in CY74FCT2541ATQCTE4 forms a source-termination network with typical PCB trace impedances (~50–75 Ω), reducing signal reflections that cause ringing, overshoot, and timing uncertainty. Measured Rout of 20–40 Ω (typ 25 Ω) is effective for trace lengths up to 10 cm without external resistors.
Can CY74FCT2541ATQCTE4 directly interface with 3.3-V CMOS logic inputs?
No - CY74FCT2541ATQCTE4 is a 5-V device with TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and VOH ≈ 3.3 V (min 2.4 V). While its VOH may meet some 3.3-V CMOS VIH requirements, it lacks guaranteed 3.3-V input compatibility; level-shifting or voltage translation is recommended for reliable 3.3-V interface.
What is the pin 1 identifier and orientation for CY74FCT2541ATQCTE4 in tape-and-reel packaging?
CY74FCT2541ATQCTE4 in SSOP-20 (DBQ) tape-and-reel uses quadrant Q1 pin 1 orientation: the sprocket holes and pocket geometry position pin 1 in the top-left corner of the cavity when viewed with the component face-up and feed direction toward the user, per TI's DBQ tape specification.
