CD74ACT258M96 Quad 2-Input Multiplexer by Texas Instruments

The CD74ACT258M96 is a high-performance CMOS Quad 2-Input Multiplexer from Texas Instruments designed to meet the demanding needs of high-speed data management and signal routing applications. This integrated circuit is part of the ACT family, which is well-known for its robustness, high speed, and low power consumption, making it an ideal choice for a variety of digital systems.

This multiplexer features four individual 2-input multiplexers with common select and output enable inputs. Each multiplexer has two data inputs (A and B), one select input, and one output. The select input determines which of the data inputs is connected to the output. When the output enable (OE) input is low, the selected data input is passed to the output; when OE is high, the output is in the high impedance state, effectively disconnecting the output from the circuit.

The CD74ACT258M96 operates at a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, which is typical for 5V digital logic circuits. This makes it compatible with TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) levels, allowing for easy integration into existing systems without the need for level shifting. The device also features fast switching characteristics, with a typical propagation delay time of only 9ns when operating at 5V, ensuring that signals are routed with minimal delay.

Available in a compact SOIC-16 package, the CD74ACT258M96 is designed for surface-mount technology (SMT), which provides space-saving benefits on printed circuit boards (PCBs) and is suitable for automated assembly processes. The device's small footprint and low profile make it an excellent choice for space-constrained applications.

With its high noise immunity and low power dissipation, the CD74ACT258M96 is an excellent choice for a wide range of applications, including data multiplexing, signal gating, data routing, and function generation. Its robustness and reliability are ensured by Texas Instruments' commitment to high-quality manufacturing and thorough testing of their products.

Overall, the CD74ACT258M96 from Texas Instruments is a versatile and reliable component that offers designers a combination of performance and practicality for their digital logic solutions.
