Important notice
Dear Customer,
On 7 February 2017 the former NXP Standard Product business became a new company with the
tradename Nexperia. Nexperia is an industry leading supplier of Discrete, Logic and PowerMOS
semiconductors with its focus on the automotive, industrial, computing, consumer and wearable
application markets
In data sheets and application notes which still contain NXP or Philips Semiconductors references, use
the references to Nexperia, as shown below.

Rev. 4 25 November 2011 Product data sheet
1. General description
The 74LVC541A is an octal non-inverting buffer/line driver with 5 V tolerant inputs and
outputs. The 3-state outputs are controlled by the output enable inputs OE1 and OE2.
This device is fully specified for partial power-down applications using I . The I
OFF OFF
circuitry disables the output, preventing the damaging backflow current through the device
when it is powered down.
Inputs can be driven from either 3.3 V or 5 V devices. When disabled, up to 5.5 V can be
applied to the outputs. These features allow the use of these devices as translators in
mixed 3.3 V and 5 V applications.
2. Features and benefits
5 V tolerant inputs for interlacing with 5 V logic
Wide supply voltage range from 1.2 V to 3.6 V
CMOS low power consumption
Direct interface with TTL levels
Complies with JEDEC standard:
JESD8-7A (1.65 V to 1.95 V)
JESD8-5A (2.3 V to 2.7 V)
JESD8-C/JESD36 (2.7 V to 3.6 V)
ESD protection:
HBM JESD22-A114F exceeds 2000 V
MM JESD22-A115B exceeds 200 V
CDM JESD22-C101E exceeds 1000 V
Specified from 40 C to +85 C and 40 C to +125 C
