3 Description

The SN74LV8T541-EP contains eight buffers with

3-state outputs. The active low output enable pins

(OE1 and OE2) control all eight channels, and are

configured so that both must be low for the outputs to

be active. When the outputs are enabled, the outputs

are actively driven low or high. When the outputs are

disabled, the outputs are set into the high-impedance

state. The output level is referenced to the supply

voltage (VCC) and supports 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V

CMOS levels.

The input is designed with a lower threshold circuit to

support up translation for lower voltage CMOS inputs

(for example, 1.2V input to 1.8V output or 1.8V input

to 3.3V output). In addition, the 5V tolerant input pins

enable down translation (for example, 3.3V to 2.5V

output).
