SN74HC541DW datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN74HC541DW Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum frequency of operation for the SN74HC541DW?
  The maximum frequency of operation for the SN74HC541DW is 100 MHz.
• Can I use the SN74HC541DW in a 5V system?
  Yes, the SN74HC541DW is compatible with 5V systems, but it's recommended to use a voltage regulator to ensure a stable 4.5V to 5.5V supply voltage.
• How do I handle the output enable (OE) pin?
  The output enable (OE) pin is active-low, meaning it should be connected to GND to enable the outputs. When OE is high, the outputs are in a high-impedance state.
• What is the propagation delay of the SN74HC541DW?
  The propagation delay of the SN74HC541DW is typically around 10 ns, but it can vary depending on the operating conditions and load capacitance.
• Can I use the SN74HC541DW in a 3.3V system?
  Yes, the SN74HC541DW can operate at 3.3V, but the output voltage will be reduced, and the device may not meet the specified timing parameters.
