The MM74HC541WM is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74HC family, specifically designed as an octal buffer/line driver with 3-STATE outputs. It offers enhanced performance and improved power efficiency compared to its predecessor, the MM54HC541. This IC is widely used in digital systems where data transmission, receiving, or buffering is required.
Key features of the MM74HC541WM IC include:
1. Octal Buffer/Line Driver: The MM74HC541WM is equipped with eight non-inverting buffers with 3-STATE outputs. Each buffer can drive up to 10 LS-TTL loads, making it suitable for driving various digital circuits.
2. High-Speed Operation: The IC operates at high-speed, supporting typical propagation delays ranging from 7 to 14 nanoseconds. This enables fast and efficient data transmission, making it suitable for applications requiring quick response times.
3. Wide Voltage Range: The MM74HC541WM IC supports a wide operating voltage range, from 2V to 6V. This makes it compatible with various power supply configurations, ensuring versatility in different electronic designs.
4. 3-STATE Outputs: The 3-STATE outputs provide flexibility by allowing the output pins to enter a high impedance state (disconnected), where they neither drive nor interfere with the rest of the circuit. This feature is useful in applications where multiple devices need to share the same bus lines
