Product details
Overview
74AHC157PW-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-qualified quad 2-input multiplexer in TSSOP16 package, operating from 2.0 V to 5.5 V with CMOS-level inputs, 8 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V/50 pF, and active-low enable (E) controlling four independent 2:1 data paths. It functions as a logic-selectable 4-pole, 2-position switch for bus routing in engine control units and ADAS sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHC157PW-Q100 datasheet, 74AHC157PW-Q100 pinout, 74AHC157PW-Q100 application, or 74AHC157PW-Q100 equivalent, this page delivers verified automotive-grade timing, input voltage compatibility, enable-controlled output forcing, Schmitt-trigger input hysteresis, and TSSOP thermal performance-critical for deterministic signal routing in safety-relevant ECUs.
Technical Context
The device implements four independent 2:1 multiplexers sharing one common select (S) and one active-low enable (E), with each output (1Y–4Y) driven only when E = LOW and gated by S to choose between corresponding I0 or I1 inputs. All inputs feature Schmitt-trigger action and tolerate voltages up to 7.0 V regardless of VCC.
Logic equations are strictly defined: nY = E × (nI1 × S + nI0 × S̅), where E, S, and all inputs are referenced to GND. Propagation delays are balanced across channels (tpd ≤ 8.0 ns @ VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 50 pF), supporting synchronous data selection in multi-sensor aggregation systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - supports dual-rail 3.3 V and 5 V automotive subsystems without level shifting |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | ≤ 8.0 ns @ VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 50 pF - enables sub-125 MHz switching in time-critical multiplexing paths |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | −0.5 V to +7.0 V - allows interfacing with higher-voltage sensors or legacy TTL without external clamping |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8 mA @ VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive 50 pF loads across PCB traces in distributed ECU modules |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood and transmission control environments |
| Input Hysteresis | Yes (Schmitt-trigger) - rejects noise on select and enable lines in electrically noisy powertrain domains |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW max (derated above 91 °C) - compatible with TSSOP thermal limits in sealed junction boxes |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP16 package (SOT403-1): plastic thin shrink small outline, 16 leads, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad not present - optimized for automated optical inspection and high-density automotive PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | S (Select) | Common 2:1 data path selector; HIGH routes I1, LOW routes I0 to all outputs |
| 2, 5, 11, 14 | 1I0, 2I0, 3I0, 4I0 | Data inputs from source 0 - individually routed to respective Y outputs when S = LOW |
| 3, 6, 10, 13 | 1I1, 2I1, 3I1, 4I1 | Data inputs from source 1 - individually routed to respective Y outputs when S = HIGH |
| 4, 7, 9, 12 | 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y | Active-driven outputs; forced LOW when E = HIGH regardless of S or inputs |
| 8 | GND | Signal and power reference ground - must be low-impedance connection to chassis or main ground plane |
| 15 | E (Enable) | Active-LOW global output enable - disables all outputs simultaneously for bus isolation or power sequencing |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply - decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm of pin for transient immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40 °C to +125 °C operation in engine control, braking, and steering ECUs |
| CMOS input compatibility | VIH = 3.85 V min @ VCC = 5.5 V - ensures reliable logic-high recognition from 3.3 V microcontrollers |
| Input overvoltage tolerance | Accepts up to +7.0 V on any input while VCC = 2.0–5.5 V - eliminates need for external protection diodes |
| Balanced propagation delays | tpd matching ≤ 1.5 ns across all four channels - critical for skew-sensitive time-division multiplexing |
| Multiple package options | TSSOP16 (SOT403-1) offers 30 % smaller footprint than SO16 with identical pinout - saves board space in compact ADAS modules |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHCT157PW-Q100 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min); same pinout, timing, and AEC-Q100 qualification | Required when interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL logic or microcontrollers lacking CMOS-level output swing | Select when system uses mixed-voltage logic families and needs guaranteed recognition of 2.0 V logic-high inputs |
| SN74LVC157APWR | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V), no AEC-Q100 qualification, LVC logic family with 24 mA drive | Restricted to non-automotive industrial or consumer applications with 3.3 V-only supply and higher current demands | Choose only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where AEC-Q100 compliance and extended temperature are not required |
Compared with 74AHCT157PW-Q100, the 74AHC157PW-Q100 provides superior noise immunity via CMOS input thresholds and wider supply flexibility, while SN74LVC157APWR trades automotive qualification for lower voltage operation and higher drive strength - making the AHC variant optimal for new 3.3 V/5 V hybrid automotive platforms requiring robustness and interoperability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74AHC157PW-Q100?
The 74AHC157PW-Q100 does not operate as a clocked device but as a combinational multiplexer. Its usable switching rate is determined by propagation delay and load capacitance: with 50 pF load and 5 V supply, tpd ≤ 8.0 ns supports reliable operation up to ~125 MHz for repetitive S/E toggling. System-level timing must account for worst-case skew across all four channels.
Can the 74AHC157PW-Q100 interface directly with a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
Yes. With VCC = 3.3 V, VIH = 2.1 V min and VIL = 0.9 V max per datasheet Table 6, the 74AHC157PW-Q100 reliably interprets standard 3.3 V CMOS logic levels. Its inputs also tolerate up to 7.0 V, allowing safe connection to 5 V peripherals without level shifters.
Is the TSSOP16 package (SOT403-1) lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes. The 74AHC157PW-Q100 in TSSOP16 packaging is manufactured using lead-free solderable terminations and complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, as confirmed in Nexperia's official product compliance documentation.
How does the enable (E) pin behave during power-up sequences?
The E pin is active LOW and internally uncommitted at power-up. To ensure predictable outputs (all forced LOW), tie E to VCC via a pull-up resistor (e.g., 10 kΩ) until the host controller asserts control. This prevents undefined output states that could cause bus contention in powered-down subsystems.
