Product Description

The SN74F251BD is a versatile and high-speed 8-input multiplexer with three-state outputs that can deliver data from eight sources to a single destination. The selection of the data source is controlled by three select inputs (S0, S1, and S2), which makes it a perfect fit for applications requiring a high degree of control over data flow.

One of the standout features of the SN74F251BD is its fast propagation delay time, which is typically only 6ns at a supply voltage of 5V. This characteristic makes it an excellent choice for high-speed operations in digital systems. Furthermore, the device can operate over a wide temperature range from -55°C to 125°C, which ensures reliable performance in extreme conditions.

Encased in a space-saving SOIC-16 package, the SN74F251BD is suitable for space-constrained applications while providing the robustness expected from Texas Instruments products. The 3-state output feature allows for connection to a bus-organized system, increasing the flexibility and utility of the device in complex digital circuits.

Whether used in data acquisition systems, communication interfaces, or computer peripherals, the SN74F251BD provides a reliable and efficient solution for managing digital signals in a variety of electronic applications.
