SN74LVC541A: as a 3.3V TTL 150MHz buffer

Jerry Chen

Part Number: SN74LVC541A
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN74LVT244B, SN74AVC16244

Hi,

The bandwidth of SN74LVC541A is not stated in datasheet. In project, we found it can't support a 150MHz 3.3V TTL, as the slew rate is too slow. Could you recommend other multi-channel buffer for this application?

Thanks.

Hi Jerry,

150MHz is right at the limit of what the device can do. It is also important at the frequency to have a optimized layout reducing any parasitic capacitance and resistance on the output as this will also limit the operating frequency. I would recommend to try the SN74LVT244B, it has pretty strong output drivers.

Thank you, Dylan.
How about SN74AVC16244? Compared to SN74LVT244B.

Hi Jerry,

This one should also manage that frequency. Again, at that high frequency the parasitics will play a big part in the frequency it can reach.
