Inverting Octal 3-STATE Buffer • Octal 3-STATE Buffer
In order to enhance PC board layout, the MM74HC540 and
MM74HC541 offers a pinout having inputs and outputs on

These circuits achieve speeds comparable to low power

Features
circuitry, i.e., high noise immunity, and low power consump-
tion. Both devices have a fanout of 15 LS-TTL equivalent
inputs.
■ Typical propagation delay: 12 ns
■ 3-STATE outputs for connection to system buses
■ Wide power supply range: 2–6V
The MM74HC540 is an inverting buffer and the
MM74HC541 is a non-inverting buffer. The 3-STATE con-
trol gate operates as a two-input NOR such that if either G1
or G2 are HIGH, all eight outputs are in the high-imped-
ance state.
■ Low quiescent current: 80 µA maximum (74HC Series)
■ Output current: 6 mA
