The TC74VHC257F is an advanced high-speed CMOS quad 2-channel multiplexer fabricated with silicon gate CMOS technology. It achieves high-speed operation similar to equivalent Bipolar Schottky TTL while maintaining CMOS low power dissipation. This device selects four bits of data from two sources under control of a common Select input (SEL). The selected data appears at the four outputs (Y1-Y4).

Applications:

• Data selection and routing
• Memory addressing
• Logic function generation
• Digital systems
• Instrumentation

Features:

• High-speed: tpd = 4.5 ns (typ.) at VCC = 5 V
• Low power dissipation: ICC = 4 μA (max) at Ta = 25 °C
• High noise immunity: VNIH = VNIL = 28 % VCC (min)
• Output drive capability: 10 LSTTL loads
• Symmetrical output impedance: |IOH| = IOL = 4 mA (min)
• Balanced propagation delays: tPLH ≈ tPHL
• Wide operating voltage range: VCC = 2 V to 5.5 V
• Pin and function compatible with 74LS257
• Common Select input for all four channels

Benefits:

• Improved system performance due to high-speed operation.
• Reduced power consumption leading to energy efficiency and extended battery life in portable devices.
• Enhanced noise immunity ensures reliable operation in noisy environments.
• Simplified logic design by providing a convenient way to select between two data sources.
• Reduced component count due to integration of four multiplexers in a single package.

Additional Details:

The TC74VHC257F is supplied in a SOP package. When the Output Enable (OE) input is high, the outputs are disabled and in a high-impedance state. It operates over a wide temperature range, making it suitable for various environments. The input and output pins are designed to prevent latch-up, further ensuring reliable performance.
