The SN74LS541 is an octal buffer and line driver with the same functions as the LS241, but with pinouts on the opposite side of the package.
●This device type is designed to be used as a memory address driver, clock driver and bus-oriented transmitter/receiver. This device is especially useful as output ports for the microprocessors, allowing ease of layout and greater PC board density.
●• Hysteresis at Inputs to Improve Noise Margin
●• PNP Inputs Reduce Loading
●• 3-State Outputs Drive Bus Lines
●• Inputs and Outputs Opposite Side of Package, Allowing Easier Interface to Microprocessors
●• Input Clamp Diodes Limit High-Speed Termination Effects
