Product details
Overview
CY74FCT2541ATSOC from Texas Instruments is an octal 3-state noninverting buffer/line driver with 25-Ω series output resistors, designed for memory-address driving, clock distribution, and bus-oriented transmitter/receiver applications in 5-V TTL/CMOS systems. It features Ioff partial-power-down support, matched rise/fall times, 4.8 ns max propagation delay, 15-mA source/12-mA sink drive, and reduced transmission-line reflection noise.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT2541ATSOC datasheet, CY74FCT2541ATSOC pinout, CY74FCT2541ATSOC application, or CY74FCT2541ATSOC equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, SOIC-20 package mapping, true 3-state timing behavior, Ioff-enabled power-down operation, and validated alternatives for noise-sensitive digital interface upgrades.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT2541ATSOC implements dual active-low 3-state enable inputs (OEA and OEB) controlling eight noninverting buffered outputs. Its edge-rate control circuitry and integrated 25-Ω series output resistors suppress signal reflections without external termination components.
It operates across –40°C to +85°C with 4.75–5.25 V supply, supports TTL-level inputs and CMOS-compatible outputs (VOH = 3.3 V typ), and uses Ioff to block current backflow during partial power-down-enabling hot-insertion and mixed-voltage system compatibility.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay | Max 4.8 ns (tPLH/tPHL), enabling high-speed address/data bus buffering at >100 MHz system clock rates |
| Output Drive | ±15 mA (source/sink), sufficient to drive 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple TTL loads directly |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75–5.25 V, compatible with standard 5-V logic rails and tolerant of typical board-level ripple |
| Ioff Current | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V, preventing damaging back-current when powered down in live backplane environments |
| Output Series Resistance | 20–40 Ω (typ 25 Ω), integrated on-die termination eliminating need for external series resistors on PCB |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM-meets industrial-grade robustness requirements |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C, qualified for extended industrial and telecom infrastructure use |
Pinout & Package
SOIC-20 (DW package), 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, 2.65 mm max height, JEDEC MS-013 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | OEA, OEB | Active-low 3-state enables: both must be low for output drivers to be active; independent control allows interleaved bus access |
| 2–9 | D0–D7 | Noninverting data inputs; TTL/CMOS compatible thresholds (VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) |
| 11–18 | O0–O7 | 3-state buffered outputs with integrated 25-Ω series resistance; high-impedance state entered when either OEA or OEB is high |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all input/output signals and internal logic |
| 20 | VCC | 5-V power supply; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm for stable switching performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-die 25-Ω output series resistors | Eliminates discrete termination components, reduces PCB area and BOM count while suppressing transmission-line ringing |
| Ioff partial-power-down protection | Enables safe insertion/removal in powered-backplane systems by blocking reverse current flow when VCC = 0 V |
| Matched rise/fall times | Minimizes duty-cycle distortion on clock or strobe signals, critical for synchronous bus timing integrity |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | Direct interface with legacy 5-V TTL without level-shifting, reducing design complexity and component count |
| Reduced VOH (3.3 V typ) | Improves noise margin against 3.3-V CMOS receivers while maintaining full 5-V fanout capability |
Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | Industrial Bus Transceiver |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY74FCT2541CTSOC | 4.1 ns max propagation delay (vs. 4.8 ns); identical pinout, package, and electrical specs otherwise | Better timing margin for high-frequency address buses (>120 MHz) where setup/hold slack is constrained | Select when cycle time reduction is critical and layout supports tighter timing closure |
| SN74FCT2541ATSOCT | Same speed grade (4.8 ns), tape-and-reel packaging (2000 pcs), identical SOIC-20 footprint and function | Preferred for automated SMT production requiring reel-fed placement rather than tube handling | Choose for volume manufacturing with pick-and-place machines; no design or layout changes needed |
Compared with CY74FCT2541ATSOC, the CY74FCT2541CTSOC offers faster timing for bandwidth-constrained buses, while SN74FCT2541ATSOCT provides identical performance in tape-and-reel format-both retain full pin, function, and thermal compatibility for drop-in substitution in industrial control and instrumentation designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for CY74FCT2541ATSOC?
The CY74FCT2541ATSOC is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This range is validated per TI's recommended operating conditions and supported by thermal impedance data (58°C/W for SOIC package), making it suitable for enclosed industrial enclosures and base station equipment without forced airflow.
Does CY74FCT2541ATSOC support hot-swap or partial-power-down operation?
Yes, CY74FCT2541ATSOC includes Ioff circuitry that disables outputs and limits reverse current to ±1 µA when VCC = 0 V. This enables safe insertion into live backplanes and mixed-voltage systems where subsystems power up/down asynchronously-critical for modular PLC and server management applications.
How does the 25-Ω output series resistance in CY74FCT2541ATSOC improve signal integrity?
The integrated 20–40 Ω (typ 25 Ω) series resistance in CY74FCT2541ATSOC dampens transmission-line reflections on PCB traces longer than ~10 cm at 25+ MHz. This eliminates need for external series resistors, reduces EMI, and maintains monotonic edges-verified by TI's edge-rate control circuitry and 4.8 ns propagation delay spec.
Can CY74FCT2541ATSOC directly interface with both TTL and CMOS logic families?
Yes, CY74FCT2541ATSOC accepts TTL input levels (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and delivers CMOS-compatible outputs (VOH ≥ 2.4 V at –15 mA, VOL ≤ 0.55 V at 12 mA). Its 3.3 V typical VOH provides enhanced noise margin against 3.3-V receivers while retaining full 5-V drive strength for legacy TTL loads.
What is the pin configuration and package type of CY74FCT2541ATSOC?
CY74FCT2541ATSOC uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm body, and JEDEC MS-013 outline. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; pins 1–10 are top row left-to-right, pins 11–20 bottom row right-to-left-matching standard SOIC-20 land patterns and stencil designs published by TI.
