ON Semiconductor MC74LCX257D: Quad 2-Input Multiplexer

The MC74LCX257D is a high-performance, quad 2-input multiplexer integrated circuit from ON Semiconductor, designed to operate at exceptionally high speeds with a low power consumption profile. This device is particularly suitable for voltage translation applications as it is designed to interface between 3.3V and 5V systems.

Key Features

• Logic Type: The MC74LCX257D is a multiplexer that provides the ability to select one of two inputs for each output based on the state of a select input.
• Operating Voltage: It operates at a wide voltage range of 2.3V to 3.6V, which allows for flexible integration into various system voltage levels.
• High-Speed Operation: With a propagation delay of approximately 5 ns at 3.3V, the device is optimized for high-speed data processing and communication systems.
• Power Down High Impedance Inputs and Outputs: It supports a power-down mode that places the inputs and outputs in a high-impedance state, reducing power consumption when not in active use.
• 5V Tolerant Inputs: Inputs can tolerate voltages up to 5V, making the device compatible with TTL levels and allowing for a seamless interface with higher voltage systems without the need for additional level shifting.
• Multiple Package Options: Available in a 16-pin SOIC package, the MC74LCX257D is designed for surface mount technology, providing a compact footprint for space-constrained applications.
