Frequently Asked Questions
What output control features does the CD74ACT540M96 have?
The CD74ACT540M96 features dual active-low output enable controls (OE1 and OE2) that allow independent control of 3-state outputs. When either enable is high, all outputs are placed in a high-impedance state, making this device ideal for bus isolation and data multiplexing applications.
What package does the CD74ACT540M96 use?
The CD74ACT540M96 is housed in a SOIC-20 surface-mount package (JESD-30 Code: R-PDSO-G20) with 20 pins. This standard small-outline package is widely supported by PCB design tools and assembly equipment, making it easy to integrate into new and existing board designs.
What logic family is the CD74ACT540M96 and what are its input voltage requirements?
The CD74ACT540M96 belongs to the ACT logic family, which features TTL-compatible input thresholds with CMOS output levels operating at 5V supply. This makes it directly compatible with 74TTL logic families and enables reliable interfacing between TTL and CMOS devices in mixed-logic systems.
What are typical applications for the CD74ACT540M96?
Typical applications include data bus buffering and isolation, address bus driving, memory bank selection, I/O port expansion, and line driving for long PCB trace runs. The inverting 3-state output configuration is also used in wired-OR bus architectures and backplane drivers in industrial and embedded computing systems.
Is the CD74ACT540M96 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the CD74ACT540M96 is RoHS compliant and lead-free (Pb-free Code: Yes, JESD-609 Code: e4), conforming to European Union RoHS directives. This makes it suitable for environmentally conscious designs and modern manufacturing processes that require restriction of hazardous substances in electronic components.
