74HC541 octal buffer/line driver

The 74HC541 is an octal buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs belonging to the 74HC family of high-speed CMOS logic devices. This IC features eight non-inverting buffers, each with a dedicated output enable pin. When the output enable pin is LOW, the buffer outputs follow the inputs. When the output enable pin is HIGH, the outputs are forced to a high-impedance (high-Z) state, effectively disconnecting them from the circuit. This 3-state functionality makes the 74HC541 ideal for memory addressing, data bus isolation, and other applications where multiple devices need to share a common bus.

The 74HC541 is known for its high-speed operation, low power consumption, and TTL-compatible inputs. It operates over a broad voltage range, typically from 2V to 6V, making it compatible with various logic levels. The 74HC541 is available in multiple package options, including DIP (Dual In-line Package) and SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit), providing flexibility for different board layouts.
