MM74HC540 MM74HC541 Inverting Octal 3-STATE Buffer Octal 3-STATE Buffer September 1983 Revised February 1999 MM74HC540 MM74HC541 Inverting Octal 3-STATE Buffer Octal 3-STATE Buffer General Description The MM74HC540 and MM74HC541 3-STATE buffers utilize advanced silicon-gate CMOS technology. They possess high drive current outputs which enable high speed operation even when driving large bus capacitances. These circuits achieve speeds comparable to low power Schottky devices, while retaining the advantage of CMOS circuitry, i.e., high noise immunity, and low power consumption. Both devices have a fanout of 15 LS-TTL equivalent inputs. The MM74HC540 is an inverting buffer and the MM74HC541 is a non-inverting buffer. The 3-STATE control gate operates as a two-input NOR such that if either G1 or G2 are HIGH, all eight outputs are in the high-impedance state. In order to enhance PC board layout, the MM74HC540 and MM74HC541 offers a pinout having inputs and outputs on opp...
