Automotive-grade 8-bit buffer for mixed-voltage bus isolation
The CLVC541AQPWRG4Q1: The symmetrical 24mA source and sink drive handles moderate bus loads, while the 3-state outputs allow multiple drivers to share a common data line without contention.
125°C temperature rating — what it means for under-hood deployment
AEC-Q100 qualification includes stress testing for automotive programs.
Supply voltage range and logic-level compatibility
The 2V to 3.6V supply covers 3.3V and 2.5V rails, plus the 2.5V-to-3.3V transition zone common in mixed-voltage automotive ECUs. At 3.3V the 24mA drive is sufficient for driving short PCB traces, local bus lines, or indicator LEDs; at 2.5V the output current drops but the buffer still meets the 3.3V CMOS input thresholds of downstream devices. The 74LVC family's 5V-tolerant inputs are not explicitly stated here, so verify the datasheet if the input side runs at 5V.
Package and footprint — TSSOP-20 on the board
Supplied in a 20-TSSOP package (4.40mm body width, 0.173" pitch), surface-mount only. The compact footprint suits space-constrained automotive PCBs where every square millimetre counts. Available on Tape & Reel for automated pick-and-place; Cut Tape options exist for prototype or low-volume builds.
