The CD74HCT540E is a high-speed CMOS integrated circuit component manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is a octal buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, commonly used for TTL-to-CMOS translation, driving LEDs, and bus-oriented applications. It operates with a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and can source or sink up to 4mA of output current.
Key Features of CD74HCT540E:
1. Octal Buffer/Line Driver: The CD74HCT540E consists of 8 buffer/drivers that can handle both logic level inputs and outputs. This allows it to act as a bidirectional interface between TTL and CMOS logic levels.
2. High-Speed Operation: With a typical propagation delay of only 9ns, the CD74HCT540E is capable of handling high-speed data transmission and processing. This makes it suitable for applications requiring quick response times.
3. 3-State Outputs: Each buffer/driver in the CD74HCT540E has a 3-state output, which means it can assume one of three logical states: high, low, or high impedance. The high impedance state is useful for bus-oriented applications, where multiple devices can share a common bus line without interfering with each other's signal
