8-Bit Universal Schmitt-Trigger Buffer : TC74VHC9541P/FT/FK
Digital equipment incorporates standard logic devices such as bus buffers for interfaces to square signal waveforms.
The TC74VHC9541P/FT/FK 8-bit bus buffers are configurable for inverting or non-inverting output via the CONT input to be functionally equivalent to the TC74xxx540 or TC74xxx541 (74HC/AC/VHC/F/ALS/LS, etc.).
All inputs are Schmitt-trigger inputs making the TC74VHC9541P/FT/FK suitable to be used as an interface between systems with long transmission lines, and also as an bus interface for slowly changing input signals.

Features
- Selectable configuration from output inverting and non-inverting via the CONT input
- The TC74VHC9541P/FT/FK are pin-compatible with the TC74xxx540 and TC74xxx541, thus enabling easy replacement.
- All Schmitt trigger inputs
- Best suited to be used as an interface between systems with long transmission lines, and also as an bus interface for slowly changing input signals.
- Available in through-hole (DIP) and surface-mount (TSSOP) packages, and also in a leaded surface-mount (US) package, which is one of the industry's smallest packages.
- Offered as a family of the TC74VHC Series that are most widely used in the market
- Have the same characteristics as the TC74VHC Series and allow interfacing between 5 V and 3 V logic.
