† Stresses beyond those listed under "absolute maximum ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under "recommended operating conditions" is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTES: 1. The input and output voltage ratings may be exceeded if the input and output current ratings are observed.
2. The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51-7.

These SN74HC541PWLE octal buffers and line drivers feature the performance of the 'HC240 devices and a pinout with inputs and outputs on opposite sides of the package. This arrangement greatly facilitates printed circuit board layout.

The 3-state outputs SN74HC541PWLE are controlled by a two-input  NOR gate. If either output-enable (OE1 or OE2) input is high, all eight outputs are in the high-impedance state. The 'HC541 devices provide true data at the outputs.
