Product details
Overview
CY74FCT541CTSOCTE4 from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit noninverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for memory address driving, clock distribution, and bus-oriented data transmission in TTL- and CMOS-compatible systems. It delivers 64-mA sink / 32-mA source drive strength, 4.1-ns typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), and operates at 4.75–5.25 V with Ioff partial-power-down support.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT541CTSOCTE4 datasheet, CY74FCT541CTSOCTE4 pinout, CY74FCT541CTSOCTE4 application, or CY74FCT541CTSOCTE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state bus isolation capability, edge-rate controlled noise performance, TTL-level input compatibility, and SOIC-20 packaging for industrial-grade signal integrity and layout flexibility.
Technical Context
This device implements dual active-low 3-state enable inputs (OEA and OEB) controlling eight noninverting output channels. Its edge-rate control circuitry limits slew rate to reduce simultaneous switching noise, while matched rise/fall times ensure clean digital transitions under load.
The Ioff feature disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, blocking current backflow during partial power-down-critical for hot-swap and mixed-voltage system designs. Input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and output levels (VOH = 2.4 V min @ –32 mA, VOL = 0.55 V max @ 64 mA) guarantee full interoperability with standard TTL logic families.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.75–5.25 V - Ensures stable operation across industrial-grade voltage tolerances without external regulation. |
| Propagation Delay | 4.1 ns max (tPLH/tPHL) - Enables high-speed bus buffering up to ~240 MHz data rate in point-to-point configurations. |
| Output Drive | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source - Supports direct interface to multiple TTL loads or termination-resistor networks. |
| Ioff Current | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V - Prevents damaging back-current during power sequencing or standby modes. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) - Eliminates need for level-shifting components when interfacing legacy TTL systems. |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - Meets JEDEC JESD22-A114/A115/C101 for robust handling in manufacturing and field environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOIC-20 (DW), 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1 (unlimited reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | OEA, OEB | Active-low 3-state enables - Both must be low to activate outputs; independent control allows channel grouping. |
| 2–9 | D0–D7 | Data inputs - Noninverting logic inputs compatible with TTL/CMOS voltage thresholds. |
| 11–18 | O0–O7 | 3-state buffered outputs - High-impedance state (Z) when either OEA or OEB is high. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - Shared return path for all I/O and internal logic; requires low-inductance PCB connection. |
| 20 | VCC | Power supply - Must be decoupled locally with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor near pin for noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Edge-rate controlled outputs | Reduces simultaneous switching noise (SSN) by limiting dV/dt, enabling cleaner signal integrity on dense PCBs. |
| Matched rise/fall times | Ensures symmetrical waveform edges (<10% skew), minimizing duty-cycle distortion in clock distribution paths. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Allows safe insertion/removal in live backplanes or multi-rail systems without risk of latch-up or bus contention. |
| 3-state dual-enable architecture | Supports flexible bus arbitration: OEA can gate one subsystem while OEB controls another, reducing external logic count. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for CY74FCT541CTSOCTE4?
CY74FCT541CTSOCTE4 is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, meeting industrial-grade thermal requirements. This range is validated per TI's recommended operating conditions and supported by thermal impedance (θJA = 58°C/W) and derating curves in the SCCS072 datasheet. The SOIC-20 package enables reliable thermal dissipation within this envelope under typical 10–20 mA static load conditions.
Does CY74FCT541CTSOCTE4 support hot-swap or partial-power-down operation?
Yes, CY74FCT541CTSOCTE4 supports partial-power-down via its Ioff circuitry. When VCC = 0 V, Ioff limits output leakage to ±1 µA even with input/output voltages up to 4.5 V, preventing damaging back-current during hot-insertion or mixed-supply sequencing. This behavior is explicitly characterized in the electrical characteristics table and confirmed in the functional description of the CY74FCT541T series.
What is the pin 1 orientation for CY74FCT541CTSOCTE4 in tape-and-reel packaging?
CY74FCT541CTSOCTE4 in SOIC-20 (DW) tape-and-reel format uses Quadrant Q1 for pin 1 orientation, as documented in TI's PACKAGE MATERIALS INFORMATION (10-Aug-2026). This aligns with JEDEC-standard carrier tape indexing, ensuring consistent automated placement during SMT assembly without manual rotation verification.
Can CY74FCT541CTSOCTE4 directly drive a 50-pF capacitive load at 10 MHz?
Yes, CY74FCT541CTSOCTE4 is specified to drive 50-pF loads with guaranteed timing: tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.1 ns and tPZH/tPZL ≤ 5.8 ns under those conditions (per switching characteristics table). Its edge-rate control and 64-mA sink capability maintain signal fidelity across such loads, making it suitable for high-speed board-level interconnects without external termination.
Is CY74FCT541CTSOCTE4 pin-compatible with CY74FCT541ATSOCT?
Yes, CY74FCT541CTSOCTE4 and CY74FCT541ATSOCT share identical SOIC-20 (DW) pinout, terminal functions, and mechanical footprint. They differ only in speed grade (4.1 ns vs. 4.8 ns propagation delay) and output drive (64/32 mA vs. 48/12 mA), allowing drop-in replacement where timing margin permits-no PCB changes required.
