Product details
Overview
CY74FCT2541TSOCT from Texas Instruments is an octal 3-state noninverting buffer/line driver with 25-Ω output series resistors, designed for memory address driving, clock distribution, and bus-transceiver applications in 5-V TTL/CMOS systems. It features Ioff support for partial-power-down mode, 4.8 ns typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), 12 mA sink / 15 mA source drive strength, and ESD protection exceeding JESD22-A114A (2000 V HBM).
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT2541TSOCT datasheet, CY74FCT2541TSOCT pinout, CY74FCT2541TSOCT application, or CY74FCT2541TSOCT equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, SOIC-20 package mapping, noise-reduction edge-rate control architecture, and validated alternatives for bus interface upgrades requiring reduced transmission-line reflections and Ioff-enabled system power sequencing.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT2541TSOCT implements dual active-low 3-state enable inputs (OEA and OEB) controlling eight noninverting buffered outputs, enabling independent channel gating in shared-bus topologies. Its integrated 25-Ω series output resistors suppress signal reflections without external termination components.
Edge-rate control circuitry ensures matched rise/fall times and significantly improved noise immunity versus standard FCT logic. The Ioff feature disables outputs and blocks current backflow when VCC = 0 V, supporting hot-insertion and partial-power-down operation in mixed-supply systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation delay | 4.8 ns max (tPLH/tPHL at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF) - enables high-speed address/data bus timing in legacy 5-V systems. |
| Output drive | 12 mA sink / 15 mA source - sufficient to drive multiple TTL loads or terminated transmission lines without buffering. |
| Output series resistance | 25 Ω typ - reduces ringing and overshoot on PCB traces up to ~15 cm, eliminating need for discrete series resistors. |
| Ioff leakage | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging back-current during power sequencing or hot-swap events. |
| ESD rating | 2000 V HBM - exceeds JEDEC JESD22-A114A, supporting robust handling in manufacturing and field environments. |
| VOH/VOL | 3.3 V min / 0.55 V max at IO = –15 mA / 12 mA - ensures TTL-compatible logic levels across full temperature range (–40°C to 85°C). |
| Supply voltage | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - tight regulation tolerance maintains stable timing and noise margins in noisy industrial power rails. |
Pinout & Package
SOIC-20 package (DW suffix), 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, 2.65 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1 (unlimited reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19, 20 | OEA, OEB, VCC | OEA and OEB are active-low 3-state enables; VCC powers all logic and output stages (4.75–5.25 V). |
| 2–9 | D0–D7 | Eight data inputs - directly accept TTL/CMOS logic levels; no level-shifting required. |
| 11–18 | O0–O7 | Eight noninverting 3-state outputs with integrated 25-Ω series resistors - drive buses or clocks with controlled edge rates. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all input thresholds, output switching, and thermal dissipation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 25-Ω output series resistors | Reduces transmission-line reflection noise without adding external components or PCB area. |
| Ioff partial-power-down protection | Prevents reverse current flow when VCC is off, enabling safe power sequencing in multi-rail systems. |
| Matched rise/fall times | Minimizes duty-cycle distortion on clock signals and improves signal integrity on bidirectional buses. |
| TTL/CMOS input compatibility | Accepts standard 0.8 V / 2.0 V VIH/VIL thresholds - interoperable with legacy 5-V logic families without interface circuitry. |
| Edge-rate control circuitry | Delivers significantly improved noise characteristics versus standard FCT devices, critical for dense PCB layouts. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY74FCT2541ATSOCT | 4.8 ns max propagation delay (vs. 8 ns for CY74FCT2541TSOCT); identical pinout, Ioff, and 25-Ω output resistors. | Better timing margin for high-frequency address/data buses; same thermal profile and layout compatibility. | Select when tPD < 5 ns is required for setup/hold compliance in fast 5-V systems. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the CY74FCT2541TSOCT?
The CY74FCT2541TSOCT is specified for 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 industrial control cabinets and telecom infrastructure environments where ambient temperatures exceed consumer-grade limits.
Does the CY74FCT2541TSOCT support hot-swap or partial-power-down operation?
Yes, the CY74FCT2541TSOCT includes Ioff circuitry that disables outputs and limits leakage to ±1 µA when VCC = 0 V. This feature enables safe hot-insertion into live backplanes and coordinated power sequencing in multi-rail systems - a key requirement confirmed in the device's absolute maximum ratings and functional description.
How does the 25-Ω output series resistance in the CY74FCT2541TSOCT improve signal integrity?
The 25-Ω output series resistance in the CY74FCT2541TSOCT damps high-frequency reflections on PCB traces, reducing overshoot, undershoot, and ringing. Measured Rout = 20–40 Ω (typical 25 Ω) matches common FR-4 trace impedances (~50–75 Ω), lowering EMI and improving timing margins without requiring external resistors - directly confirmed in the electrical characteristics table.
Can the CY74FCT2541TSOCT interface directly with both TTL and CMOS logic families?
Yes, the CY74FCT2541TSOCT accepts TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V) and delivers CMOS-compatible output levels (VOH ≥ 2.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.55 V at rated load), enabling direct interconnection with 5-V TTL, LVTTL, and CMOS devices without level shifters or pull-up resistors - explicitly stated in the device description and recommended operating conditions.
What is the propagation delay specification for the CY74FCT2541TSOCT, and how is it measured?
The CY74FCT2541TSOCT has a maximum propagation delay of 8 ns (tPLH/tPHL) under standard test conditions: VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF, TA = 25°C. This value is measured from 1.5 V input transition to 1.5 V output transition per JEDEC standards, as documented in the switching characteristics table and Figure 1 load circuit.
