Active production — BOM-fit for current designs
The 74AC540SJ: Its 8-bit inverting buffer with 3-state outputs isolates bus lines or drives high-fan-out loads in mixed-voltage systems spanning 2V to 6V.
24mA drive and industrial temperature range
Each output sources or sinks 24mA, enough to drive multiple CMOS inputs or a moderate capacitive trace without external buffers — the 3-state control lets multiple drivers share a bus without contention. The 20-SOIC (5.30mm body width) footprint is a standard JEDEC outline — no special pad geometry required for reflow assembly.
ROHS3 compliance and supply posture
ROHS3 compliant, the 74AC540SJ meets EU Directive 2015/863 without exemptions — no lead, mercury, cadmium, or phthalates in the package or plating.
