The SN74HCT541N is an Octal Buffer and Line Driver with 3-state outputs. Designed to have the performance of the popular HC240 series devices and to offer a pin out with inputs and outputs on opposite sides of the package. This arrangement greatly facilitates printed circuit board layout. The 3-state control gate is a 2-input NOR. If either output-enable (OE1\ or OE2\) input is high, all eight outputs are in the high-impedance state. The HCT541 devices provide true data at the outputs.
High-current 3-state outputs interface directly with system bus or can drive up to 15 LSTTL loads
