ON Semiconductor MC74LCX157MEL Quad 2-Input Multiplexer

The ON Semiconductor MC74LCX157MEL is a high-performance, quad 2-input multiplexer designed to operate from a 2.3V to 3.6V power supply, making it ideal for low-voltage and mixed-voltage applications. This device is part of the LCX family, which is known for its low power consumption and high-speed operation. The MC74LCX157MEL is designed with an advanced CMOS technology to achieve high-speed operation while maintaining CMOS low power dissipation.

Each multiplexer has two inputs, A and B, as well as a select input and an output. The select input controls which of the two inputs is connected to the output. When the select input is at a low logic level, input A is connected to the output, and when the select input is at a high logic level, input B is connected to the output. This functionality allows for efficient routing of signals and data in complex digital systems.

The MC74LCX157MEL features a 5V tolerant input, which allows for interface flexibility with 5V systems, making it suitable for bridging with legacy systems that operate at higher voltages. Additionally, this device provides low ON resistance and is capable of driving a 24mA load, offering excellent performance for a wide range of applications.
