GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ML65541 and ML65L541 are non-inverting octal buffer/line drivers. The high operating frequency (50MHz driving a 50pF load) and low propagation delay (ML65541 – 1.7 ns, ML65L541 – 2 ns) make them ideal for very high speed applications such as processor bus buffering and cache and main memory control.

FEATURES

■ Low propagation delay — 1.7ns ML65541 2.0ns ML65L541

■ Fast 8-bit TTL level buffer/line driver with three-state capability on the output

■ TTL compatible input and output levels

■ Schottky diode clamps on all inputs to handle undershoot and overshoot

■ Onboard schottky diodes minimize noise

■ Reduced output swing of 0 – 4.1 volts

■ Ground bounce controlled outputs, typically less than 400mV

■ Industry standard FCT541 type pinout

■ Applications include high speed cache memory, main memory, processor bus buffering, and graphics cards
