Product details
Overview
SN74LV540ANSRE4 from Texas Instruments is an octal inverting buffer/driver with 3-state outputs, designed for 2 V to 5.5 V VCC operation. It provides inverted logic-level buffering for bus driving and memory address register applications, features dual active-low output enables (OE1/OE2), supports mixed-mode voltage translation, and delivers 8.5 ns max propagation delay at 5 V.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LV540ANSRE4 datasheet, SN74LV540ANSRE4 pinout, SN74LV540ANSRE4 application, or SN74LV540ANSRE4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3-state control architecture, Ioff partial-power-down capability, ground bounce (VOLP) and undershoot (VOHV) performance at 3.3 V, and compatibility with industrial, automotive infotainment, and wireless infrastructure signal routing.
Technical Context
The SN74LV540ANSRE4 implements an octal inverting buffer function with two independent active-low 3-state enable inputs (OE1 and OE2), each controlling four outputs. Its CMOS design ensures rail-to-rail output swing, input overvoltage tolerance up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, and Ioff protection enabling safe operation during partial power-down.
It uses a dual AND-gate 3-state control structure: either OE1 or OE2 high forces all eight outputs into high-impedance; only when both are low do outputs drive inverted input states. This architecture supports flexible bus arbitration and avoids contention in multi-driver systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - Enables interoperability across 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains with down-translation capability. |
| Max tpd @ 5 V | 8.5 ns - Ensures timing compliance in high-speed address/data bus applications up to ~118 MHz clock-equivalent rates. |
| Output Drive | ±16 mA @ 4.5 V - Sufficient to drive standard TTL loads and moderate-capacitance PCB traces without external buffering. |
| VOLP / VOHV | < 0.8 V / > 2.3 V @ 3.3 V - Limits ground bounce and output undershoot, reducing EMI and improving signal integrity in dense layouts. |
| Ioff Current | < 5 µA @ 0 V VCC - Prevents back-driving and leakage when powered off, critical for hot-swap and power-gated subsystems. |
| ESD Rating | ±2000 V HBM - Meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for handling and board-level reliability. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - Qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and base station environments. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LV540ANSRE4 is packaged in a 20-pin SOP (Small Outline Package) with body size 12.6 mm × 5.3 mm, gull-wing leads, and standard JEDEC MO-153 outline. The package places all eight inputs (A1–A8) on one side and corresponding inverted outputs (Y1–Y8) on the opposite side to simplify PCB trace routing and reduce crosstalk.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | OE1, OE2 | Active-low 3-state enable inputs - Either high disables all outputs; both must be low for functional output drive. |
| 2–9 | A1–A8 | Inverting buffer inputs - Logic states inverted and driven to Y1–Y8 when outputs enabled. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - Must be low-impedance connection; shared return for all signals and power. |
| 11–18 | Y8–Y1 | Inverted 3-state outputs - High-impedance when OE1 or OE2 high; otherwise drive complement of A1–A8. |
| 20 | VCC | Power supply - Bypass with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin to suppress switching noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode voltage operation | Inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V independent of VCC - Enables interfacing between 5 V legacy peripherals and 3.3 V or 2.5 V controllers without level shifters. |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Sub-5 µA leakage when VCC = 0 V - Allows safe insertion/removal in live backplanes and prevents current backflow in unpowered sections. |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP) | < 0.8 V @ 3.3 V - Reduces simultaneous switching noise, easing EMC compliance in high-density digital systems. |
| Slow edge rate control | 20 ns/V min input transition rate - Intentionally limits slew rate to minimize overshoot/undershoot on transmission lines and stubs. |
| Latch-up immunity | > 250 mA per JESD17 - Guarantees robustness against transient-induced latch-up in noisy industrial environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal inverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC541APWR | Non-inverting output logic; identical VCC range, speed, and Ioff spec; TSSOP-20 package. | Requires logic inversion upstream/downstream if system expects inverted outputs like SN74LV540ANSRE4. | Select when non-inverting behavior aligns with bus protocol or simplifies upstream logic design. |
| 74LVX540M | Same inverting function and pinout; operates 2.7 V–3.6 V only; lower max speed (10.5 ns @ 3.3 V); SOIC-20 package. | Not suitable for 2 V or 5 V systems; limited temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). | Choose only for cost-sensitive 3.3 V-only designs where extended temp and wider VCC are unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74LV540ANSRE4, SN74LVC541APWR offers functional equivalence except for output polarity, requiring minimal logic adjustment, while 74LVX540M trades voltage flexibility and temperature range for legacy compatibility in narrow-supply applications.

FAQ
What is the logic function of the SN74LV540ANSRE4?
The SN74LV540ANSRE4 is an octal inverting buffer with 3-state outputs. Each input (A1–A8) drives a corresponding inverted output (Y1–Y8) when both output enables (OE1 and OE2) are low. When either OE1 or OE2 is high, all outputs enter high-impedance state. This function is confirmed in the device functional table and schematic in the official TI datasheet SCLS409J.
Does the SN74LV540ANSRE4 support voltage translation between different logic families?
Yes, the SN74LV540ANSRE4 supports mixed-mode voltage operation: inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC setting (2 V–5.5 V), enabling reliable interfacing between 5 V TTL, 3.3 V LVTTL, and 2.5 V systems without external level shifters. This capability is explicitly documented in the Features and Recommended Operating Conditions sections of the SN74LV540ANSRE4 datasheet.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the SN74LV540ANSRE4?
The SN74LV540ANSRE4 is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table (Section 6.3) of the TI datasheet SCLS409J. This full industrial/automotive temperature range is supported across all active package variants including the NS (SOP-20) package used in SN74LV540ANSRE4.
How does the Ioff feature benefit system design with the SN74LV540ANSRE4?
The Ioff feature of the SN74LV540ANSRE4 limits input/output leakage to less than 5 µA when VCC = 0 V, preventing current backflow and signal corruption during partial power-down or hot-swap events. This allows safe integration into modular systems where subsystems power up/down independently - a requirement verified in TI's characterization testing per JESD78.
Is the SN74LV540ANSRE4 pin-compatible with other members of the LV540A family?
Yes, the SN74LV540ANSRE4 shares identical pinout and functionality with all other SN74LV540A variants (e.g., SN74LV540ADBR, SN74LV540ADGVR), differing only in package type (SOP-20 vs SSOP-20 vs TVSOP-20). Pin functions - including dual OE inputs, A1–A8 inputs, Y1–Y8 outputs, GND, and VCC - are fully consistent across the family, as confirmed in Table 5-1 (Pin Functions) of the SN74LV540ANSRE4 datasheet.
