Product details
Overview
74AHC157D,118 from Nexperia is a quad 2-input CMOS multiplexer in SO16 package, operating from 2.0 V to 5.5 V, with 3.2 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V and active-low enable (E) for output control. It implements four independent 2:1 data selectors sharing common select (S) and enable (E), used in bus routing, register-to-bus transfer, and logic function generation in digital control systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHC157D,118 datasheet, 74AHC157D,118 pinout, 74AHC157D,118 application, or 74AHC157D,118 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional behavior, SO16 pin mapping, temperature-rated performance (−40 °C to +125 °C), TTL/CMOS input compatibility context, and real-world use cases in address decoding and signal routing.
Technical Context
The device implements four independent 2:1 multiplexers with shared S (select) and E (enable) control lines. Each output (1Y–4Y) follows Y = E̅ × (I₀ × S̅ + I₁ × S), enabling deterministic data routing from two parallel 4-bit sources based on S state and E assertion.
All inputs feature Schmitt-trigger action and tolerate voltages up to 7.0 V, while outputs drive ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5 V. The logic supports both CMOS-level (74AHC) and TTL-level (74AHCT) input thresholds, with VIH = 3.85 V and VIL = 1.65 V at VCC = 5.5 V for the AHC variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Quad 2:1 multiplexer with common select (S) and active-low enable (E) |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and low-power operation |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 3.2 ns typ. (CL = 15 pF, VCC = 5 V) - enables high-speed bus switching in 50 MHz+ control paths |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive standard CMOS loads and small capacitive buses |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 3.85 V, VIL = 1.65 V at VCC = 5.5 V - ensures robust noise immunity in noisy digital environments |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - meets JEDEC JS-001/JS-002 for handling reliability |
Pinout & Package
74AHC157D,118 is housed in a plastic small outline package (SO16, SOT109-1) with 16 leads, 3.9 mm body width, and gull-wing lead form suitable for surface-mount reflow assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (S) | Common data select input | Determines source (I₀ or I₁) routed to all four outputs; HIGH selects I₁, LOW selects I₀ |
| 2, 5, 11, 14 (1I₀–4I₀) | Data inputs from source 0 | Four independent low-source inputs; each paired with corresponding I₁ for 2:1 selection |
| 3, 6, 10, 13 (1I₁–4I₁) | Data inputs from source 1 | Four independent high-source inputs; selected when S = HIGH |
| 4, 7, 9, 12 (1Y–4Y) | Multiplexer outputs | Active-driven outputs; forced LOW when E = HIGH regardless of other inputs |
| 8 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for logic and supply current; must be low-impedance for noise control |
| 15 (E) | Enable input (active LOW) | Global output disable: E = HIGH forces all Y outputs LOW; E = LOW enables normal multiplexing |
| 16 (VCC) | Positive supply | Primary power rail; decoupling capacitor required near pin for stable high-speed switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Balanced propagation delays | Matched tPLH/tPHL across all channels minimizes skew in synchronized data routing |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Provides hysteresis (≈0.5 V at VCC = 5 V) for reliable switching with slow or noisy control signals |
| Voltage-tolerant inputs | Accepts up to 7.0 V regardless of VCC - allows interfacing with higher-voltage logic without level shifters |
| Multiple-package availability | SO16 (D), TSSOP16 (PW), DHVQFN16 (BQ) - enables layout flexibility across density and thermal requirements |
| Industrial temperature range | Specified from −40 °C to +125 °C - supports deployment in motor drives, PLCs, and outdoor electronics |
Applications
| Memory Address Multiplexing | Bus Signal Routing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Selecting between two 4-bit address registers feeding a memory decoder in a microcontroller peripheral interface. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad 2:1 selector routing address bits under software-controlled S/E signals; operates synchronously with clock domain. Use Value: Reduces PCB trace count by consolidating dual-register access into single 4-bit bus, eliminating discrete gate logic. | Use Scenario: Dynamically steering sensor data streams (e.g., ADC outputs from two channels) onto a shared SPI data line. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Data-path switch controlled by MCU GPIO; S toggles channel, E gates entire output during reconfiguration. Use Value: Enables dual-sensor monitoring with one SPI interface, cutting component count and firmware complexity. |
| Logic Function Generation | Register File Selection |
Use Scenario: Implementing custom combinational logic (e.g., parity generator or ALU auxiliary function) using 2-variable truth table mapping. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Configurable logic block where I₀/I₁ represent minterms and S defines variable assignment; static or slow-switching use. Use Value: Replaces 4–6 discrete gates with single IC, improving board density and reducing interconnect delay. | Use Scenario: Choosing between two sets of CPU register banks (e.g., user vs. supervisor mode) in an embedded controller datapath. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed register bank selector synchronized to instruction decode phase; E enables context isolation. Use Value: Supports fast mode switching without pipeline stalls, leveraging sub-4 ns propagation for cycle-critical timing. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 2-input multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHCT157D,118 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min); identical pinout, timing, and SO16 package | Required when driving from legacy 5 V TTL or LSTTL sources without level translation | Select when interfacing with older logic families; otherwise 74AHC157D offers wider VCC range and lower static current |
| SN74LV4052APWR | Dual 4:1 analog/digital multiplexer; different topology, no common enable, LV logic family | Used for analog signal routing or when 4:1 ratio per channel is needed instead of quad 2:1 | Not drop-in; choose only if architecture requires analog capability or 4:1 selection per channel |
Compared with 74AHCT157D,118, the 74AHC157D,118 provides broader supply range and lower ICC, while SN74LV4052APWR serves distinct analog/digital routing needs - neither replicates the exact quad 2:1 + global enable functionality of the original.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by 74AHC157D,118?
The device has no internal clock; its usable data rate depends on propagation delay and load. With tpd = 3.2 ns (typ.) and CL = 15 pF at 5 V, it supports clean switching up to ≈150 MHz in minimal-load configurations. System-level timing must account for board trace capacitance and driver strength.
Can 74AHC157D,118 interface directly with 3.3 V microcontrollers?
Yes. At VCC = 3.3 V, VIH = 2.1 V (min) and VIL = 0.9 V (max), fully compatible with standard 3.3 V CMOS outputs. Outputs swing rail-to-rail (VOH ≥ 3.1 V, VOL ≤ 0.36 V at IO = 4 mA), ensuring reliable reception by 3.3 V inputs.
Is the enable (E) pin internally pulled up or down?
No internal pull-up or pull-down exists on the E pin. It is a standard CMOS input requiring explicit biasing. In most designs, E is driven actively by a GPIO or logic signal; floating E results in undefined output states and must be avoided.
Does 74AHC157D,118 support hot insertion or live swapping?
No. The device lacks hot-swap protection circuitry. Applying VCC before or after input signals may cause latch-up or excessive current due to input clamping diodes. Power sequencing per JEDEC JESD8-12 must be observed: apply GND first, then VCC, then inputs.
