Product details
Overview
74AC11157DWR from Texas Instruments is a dual 4-bit data selector/multiplexer with true output logic, 20-pin SOIC package, −40°C to +85°C operating range, 5.5 V max supply, and 3.9 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V. It routes one of two 4-bit words to four outputs using a strobe-controlled select architecture for bus switching in digital control systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74AC11157DWR datasheet, 74AC11157DWR pinout, 74AC11157DWR application, or 74AC11157DWR equivalent, key selection criteria include flow-through PCB layout support, center-pin VCC/GND noise suppression, EPIC™ 1-µm CMOS process reliability, latch-up immunity (500 mA at 125°C), and compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V mixed-signal interfaces.
Technical Context
The 74AC11157DWR implements a dual 4-bit multiplexer function with independent A/B source selection per bit pair and a common strobe (G) enable. Its logic diagram confirms true (non-inverted) output generation without internal inversion stages between inputs and Y outputs.
It uses Texas Instruments' EPIC™ (Enhanced-Performance Implanted CMOS) 1-µm process, enabling high-speed operation (tPHL/tPLH ≤ 6.4 ns at 5 V) while maintaining robust DC specs: ±24 mA output drive, ±1 µA input leakage, and 36 pF power dissipation capacitance at 1 MHz.

Pinout & Package
74AC11157DWR is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package with 0.300-inch body width and gull-wing leads. Pin spacing is 0.050 inch (1.27 mm), and lead finish is Pb-Free (RoHS-compliant) per TI's eco plan.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| 1Y–4Y | True data outputs | Active-high, non-inverted outputs; each corresponds to selected A/B bit pair |
| A/B | Source select control | Global 2:1 select line determining whether A or B inputs appear at outputs |
| G | Strobe enable | Active-low gate controlling output enable; Y = L when G = H (disabled) |
| VCC (Pins 10, 16) | Power supply | Dual center-placed VCC pins reduce simultaneous switching noise and improve decoupling |
| GND (Pins 5, 6, 7, 8) | Ground reference | Four dedicated GND pins minimize ground bounce across all 4-bit channels |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| 500-mA latch-up immunity at 125°C | Ensures robustness against transient current surges in thermally stressed environments without requiring external current limiting |
| True (non-inverting) output logic | Eliminates need for external inverters in data path, reducing component count and propagation delay in bus routing applications |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Digital Test Equipment Multiplexing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Routing sensor data from multiple analog input modules to a shared ADC channel in programmable logic controller backplanes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual 4-bit multiplexer selecting between two parallel 4-bit sensor data buses under microcontroller address control. Use Value: Flow-through pinout simplifies layer routing on 4-layer control board; center VCC/GND reduces noise coupling into precision measurement paths. | Use Scenario: Switching stimulus signals between multiple DUTs (devices under test) and a single pattern generator in automated test fixtures.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 4-bit-wide 2:1 data selector consolidating dual legacy device registers onto shared data lines. Use Value: −40°C to +85°C rating supports operation in uncontrolled industrial enclosures; 5.5 V absolute max rating tolerates transient rail overshoot. | Use Scenario: Sharing a single UART or SPI interface among multiple peripheral ICs (e.g., EEPROM, temperature sensor, DAC) on an MCU development board. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Data path switch enabling time-multiplexed access to peripherals without software bit-banging overhead. Use Value: Low 36 pF Cpd minimizes dynamic power draw during frequent bus arbitration; 1.5 ns min tPLH supports >100 MHz polling rates. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 4-bit multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74ACT157DWR | TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V min), higher drive (±24 mA), same 20-pin SOIC package | Better suited for mixed 5 V TTL/CMOS systems; identical pinout and function but different input voltage specs | Select when interfacing with legacy TTL logic families requiring 2 V VIH threshold |
| SN74LV4052ADR | Dual 4-channel analog switch (not digital multiplexer); rail-to-rail analog operation, 100 Ω RON, no true logic function | Supports bidirectional analog/digital signals up to 5.5 V; lacks strobe enable and true logic output behavior | Select only for analog signal routing where digital logic-level translation is not required |
Compared with 74AC11157DWR, the 74ACT157DWR offers TTL-compatible inputs for legacy integration but shares identical pinout and multiplexing function, whereas SN74LV4052ADR serves analog routing needs with no digital logic capability-making it unsuitable as a functional replacement despite similar channel count.

FAQ
What is the logic function of the 74AC11157DWR?
The 74AC11157DWR is a dual 4-bit data selector/multiplexer that routes one of two 4-bit input words (A or B) to four true (non-inverted) outputs (Y1–Y4) based on the A/B select line, with output enable controlled by the active-low strobe (G) input. Its function table and logic diagram confirm direct mapping without internal inversion.
Does the 74AC11157DWR support 3.3 V operation?
Yes, the 74AC11157DWR supports 3.3 V operation within its recommended supply range of 3 V to 5.5 V. At VCC = 3.3 V, it delivers guaranteed switching performance (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 9.5 ns) and meets input threshold specifications (VIH ≥ 2.1 V, VIL ≤ 0.9 V), making it compatible with mixed-voltage 3.3 V/5 V digital systems.
What is the purpose of the multiple VCC and GND pins on the 74AC11157DWR?
The 74AC11157DWR features two VCC pins (10 and 16) and four GND pins (5, 6, 7, 8) placed centrally in the SOIC-20 package to minimize high-speed switching noise. This configuration reduces power/ground loop inductance, improves decoupling effectiveness, and suppresses ground bounce across all four data channels during simultaneous switching events.
Is the 74AC11157DWR pin-compatible with the 74AC157 family?
No, the 74AC11157DWR is not pin-compatible with standard 74AC157 devices. While both perform 2:1 multiplexing, the 74AC11157DWR has 20 pins and dual 4-bit structure with separate A/B and strobe inputs, whereas 74AC157 variants are typically 16-pin quad 2:1 multiplexers with different pin assignments and no A/B global select line.
What does "EPIC™ process" mean for the 74AC11157DWR?
EPIC™ (Enhanced-Performance Implanted CMOS) is Texas Instruments' proprietary 1-µm CMOS fabrication process used for the 74AC11157DWR. It delivers bipolar-like speed (sub-6 ns propagation delay at 5 V) while retaining CMOS advantages: low static power, high noise immunity, and 500-mA latch-up immunity at 125°C-critical for industrial reliability.
