Product details
Overview
N74F541D,602 from Philips Semiconductors is an octal non-inverting 3-state buffer IC designed for bus interface and memory address register buffering in TTL-compatible digital systems. It features 8 bidirectional data channels, 3-state outputs capable of sinking 64mA and sourcing 15mA, and a typical propagation delay of 5.5ns at 5V. It operates across 0°C to +70°C with 5V ±10% supply.
For engineers reviewing the N74F541D,602 datasheet, N74F541D,602 pinout, N74F541D,602 application, or N74F541D,602 equivalent, key selection criteria include output drive strength (64mA sink), dual active-low enable inputs (OE0/OE1), SO20 package compatibility, and direct functional alignment with legacy 74F241-based bus architectures.
Technical Context
The N74F541D,602 implements eight independent non-inverting buffer channels, each controlled by two shared active-low 3-state enable inputs (OE0 and OE1). All outputs enter high-impedance state when either enable is high, enabling flexible bus arbitration.
It uses bipolar FET (F) logic technology with NPN base inputs limiting input loading to ±20µA in both logic states. Its pinout places inputs (I0–I7) and outputs (Y0–Y7) on opposite sides of the 20-pin SO package to simplify PCB routing for parallel bus layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Octal non-inverting buffer with 3-state outputs |
| Propagation Delay | 5.5ns typical (In to Yn, VCC = 5V, CL = 50pF) |
| Output Drive | Sinks 64mA / sources 15mA - supports heavy capacitive bus loads |
| Supply Current | 55mA typical total ICC (74F541, Tamb = 25°C) |
| Operating Range | 0°C to +70°C ambient, 4.5V–5.5V VCC - commercial-grade reliability |
| Input Loading | ±20µA max per input - minimal loading on upstream TTL/MOS drivers |
Pinout & Package
Package: Plastic small outline (SO20), 20-lead, 7.5 mm body width (SOT163-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | I0, I1 | Data inputs - routed to corresponding Y0/Y1 outputs when enabled |
| 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 | I2–I7 | Data inputs - low-input-current (±20µA) compatible with TTL and MOS logic |
| 8, 9 | OE0, OE1 | Active-low 3-state enables - either high disables all outputs to high-Z |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - common return for all signals and power |
| 11–18 | Y0–Y7 | Buffered outputs - each sinks 64mA or sources 15mA; high-Z when disabled |
| 20 | VCC | +5V supply - must be decoupled locally due to fast switching transients |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-impedance NPN base inputs | Reduces input loading to ±20µA - preserves fan-out of upstream drivers |
| Dual active-low output enables | OE0 and OE1 provide redundant or split-bus control without external logic |
| Asymmetric output drive capability | 64mA sink vs. 15mA source enables robust low-level bus termination |
| Opposite-side I/O pin arrangement | Minimizes trace crossovers in dense 8-bit bus layouts on double-layer PCBs |
Applications
| Microprocessor Address Bus Interface | Memory Module Data Buffering |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 16-bit address lines from a 8086/8088 CPU to multiple memory banks with load isolation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-inverting buffer with 3-state control synchronizing address latching and bus release.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74F241N | PDIP-20 only; 5.0ns typical tPLH; identical I/O structure and DC specs | Requires through-hole PCB assembly; no surface-mount option | Select when legacy through-hole manufacturing or socketed prototyping is required |
| 74ACT241SCX | CMOS technology; 3.3V/5V tolerant; 10ns tPLH; lower ICC (4mA typ) | Higher noise immunity but incompatible with strict 5V TTL input thresholds | Select for mixed-voltage systems where VIH/VIL margins must exceed TTL levels |

FAQ
What is the function of the N74F541D,602?
The N74F541D,602 is an octal non-inverting 3-state buffer IC. It transmits 8-bit data unidirectionally from inputs I0–I7 to outputs Y0–Y7 when both OE0 and OE1 are low. When either enable is high, all outputs go to high-impedance state. Its design supports bus sharing and memory address/data isolation in 5V TTL systems.
What package type does the N74F541D,602 use?
The N74F541D,602 uses a plastic small outline package (SO20) with 20 leads and 7.5 mm body width, designated SOT163-1. This surface-mount package enables automated assembly and compact board layout while maintaining pin compatibility with the through-hole DIP version (N74F541N).
Does the N74F541D,602 support 3.3V operation?
No, the N74F541D,602 is specified only for 4.5V–5.5V VCC operation per its recommended conditions. It is not 3.3V-tolerant: input thresholds (VIH = 2.0V min, VIL = 0.8V max) and output drive are optimized for 5V TTL systems. Using it with 3.3V supply risks undefined logic states and degraded performance.
How do OE0 and OE1 interact in the N74F541D,602?
In the N74F541D,602, both OE0 and OE1 are active-low enables. The outputs Y0–Y7 are enabled (driving) only when *both* OE0 and OE1 are low. If either OE0 or OE1 is high, all outputs enter high-impedance state. This dual-enable architecture allows fail-safe bus control or split-bus gating without external AND logic.
Is the N74F541D,602 pin-compatible with the N74F540D,602?
Yes, the N74F541D,602 and N74F540D,602 share identical pinouts and package (SOT163-1 SO20), differing only in internal logic: N74F541D,602 is non-inverting, while N74F540D,602 is inverting. Both have same enable inputs, I/O placement, supply/ground pins, and AC/DC specifications - enabling direct functional substitution where inversion is acceptable or compensated.
