3 Description

The SN74LV8T9541-EP contains eight buffers with 3-

state outputs and Schmitt-Trigger inputs. 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).
