The VHC541 is an advanced high-speed CMOS device fabricated with silicon gate CMOS technology It achieves the high-speed operation similar to equivalent Bipolar Schottky TTL while maintaining the CMOS low power dissipation The VHC541 is an octal buffer line driver designed to be employed as memory and address drivers clock drivers and bus oriented transmitter receivers This device is similar in function to the VHC244 while providing flow-through architecture (inputs on opposite side from outputs) This pinout arrangement makes this device especially useful as an output port for microprocessors allowing ease of layout and greater PC board density
