description/ordering information
The SN54BCT541 and SN74BCT541A octal buffers and line drivers are ideal for driving bus lines or buffering
memory-address registers. The devices feature inputs and outputs on opposite sides of the package to facilitate
printed-circuit-board layout.
The 3-state control gate is a 2-input AND gate with active-low inputs so that, if either output-enable (OE1 or OE2)
input is high, all eight outputs are in the high-impedance state.
To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, OE should be tied to V
CC
through a pullup
resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.

Stresses beyond those listed under "absolute maximum ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under "recommended operating conditions" is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTES:
1. The input and output voltage ratings may be exceeded if the input and output current ratings are observed.
2. The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51-7.

PARAMETER MEASUREMENT INFORMATION
NOTES: A. CL includes probe and jig capacitance.
B. All input pulses are supplied by generators having the following characteristics: PRR
10 MHz, tr = tf
2.5 ns, duty cycle = 50%.
C. Waveform 1 is for an output with internal conditions such that the output is low except when disabled by the output control.
Waveform 2 is for an output with internal conditions such that the output is high except when disabled by the output control.
D. The outputs are measured one at a time with one transition per measurement.
E. When measuring propagation delay times of 3-state outputs, switch S1 is open.
F. All parameters and waveforms are not applicable to all devices.
