Product Description

The MC74LVX257MELG is ideal for applications that require the routing of two different signal sources to a single common output line. Each multiplexer has two inputs, one output, and an individual select input, which controls the data source. The device also features 3-state outputs, which can be put into a high impedance state, effectively disconnecting the output from the circuit. This is particularly useful in bus-oriented applications.

Designed for use with 3.3V power supplies, the MC74LVX257MELG also has 5V tolerant inputs, which allows for interface flexibility in mixed voltage environments. The low on-resistance of the switch allows inputs to be connected to outputs without adding propagation delay and without generating additional ground bounce noise.

With its low power dissipation and high noise immunity characteristic of CMOS devices, the MC74LVX257MELG is an excellent choice for a wide range of digital applications including telecommunications, computing, and industrial electronics where high-speed multiplexing is essential.

ON Semiconductor's commitment to quality ensures that the MC74LVX257MELG meets the stringent requirements of the modern electronic industry, making it a reliable and efficient solution for multiplexing needs.
