Product details
Overview
74AHCT157PW-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-qualified quad 2-input multiplexer in TSSOP16 package, implementing four independent 2:1 data selectors with active-low enable (E) and common select (S). It operates at 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers propagation delays as low as 3.2 ns (CL = 15 pF), supports TTL-level inputs, and is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C) for use in engine control units and ADAS domain controllers.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT157PW-Q100 datasheet, 74AHCT157PW-Q100 pinout, 74AHCT157PW-Q100 application, or 74AHCT157PW-Q100 equivalent, this page provides verified functional behavior, automotive-grade thermal and ESD specs, TSSOP16 layout details, and direct substitution guidance for logic-level signal routing in safety-critical vehicle subsystems.
Technical Context
The device implements four parallel 2:1 multiplexers sharing one select line (S) and one active-low enable (E), enabling simultaneous selection of four-bit-wide data paths from two sources. Each output (1Y–4Y) follows Y = E̅ × (I₀ × S̅ + I₁ × S), supporting deterministic combinatorial logic generation.
All inputs feature Schmitt-trigger action and tolerate voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, while outputs drive ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5 V. The design includes input clamping diodes, HBM ESD protection >2000 V, and CDM >1000 V - meeting automotive robustness requirements without external protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with 5 V automotive microcontroller I/O rails and stable operation across battery voltage transients. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 3.2 ns (typ, CL = 15 pF) - enables high-speed data routing in real-time control loops with sub-10 ns timing margins. |
| Input Voltage Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V (min), VIL = 0.8 V (max) - guarantees reliable TTL-level recognition even under noisy supply conditions. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8 mA (VOH/VOL @ VCC = 4.5 V) - sufficient to directly drive multiple CMOS/TTL inputs or small capacitive loads (<50 pF). |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - validated for under-hood placement in powertrain and chassis modules per AEC-Q100 Grade 1. |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - eliminates need for external ESD suppression in CAN/LIN node interface logic stages. |
| Power Dissipation | Ptot = 500 mW (Tamb ≤ 91 °C), derates 8.5 mW/K above - supports continuous operation in sealed junction boxes with passive cooling. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP16 package (SOT403-1): 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 16-terminal surface-mount outline with exposed pad option (not applicable here); optimized for AOI-compatible reflow and high-density PCB layouts in automotive ECUs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | S (Select) | Common 2:1 selector control for all four channels; HIGH selects I1 inputs, LOW selects I0 inputs. |
| 2, 5, 11, 14 | 1I0, 2I0, 3I0, 4I0 | Data inputs from source 0; Schmitt-triggered for noise immunity on long harness traces. |
| 3, 6, 10, 13 | 1I1, 2I1, 3I1, 4I1 | Data inputs from source 1; accepts VI up to 5.5 V independent of VCC level. |
| 4, 7, 9, 12 | 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y | CMOS-compatible outputs; actively driven LOW when E = HIGH (enable inactive). |
| 8 | GND | Digital ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 15 | E (Enable) | Active-LOW global enable; forces all outputs LOW when HIGH, enabling bus isolation during reset. |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply (4.5–5.5 V); requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling within 5 mm of pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40 °C to +125 °C operation with full parametric testing - suitable for engine bay and transmission control modules. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V (min), VIL = 0.8 V (max) - interoperable with legacy 5 V microcontrollers and sensor interfaces without level shifters. |
| Input overvoltage tolerance | Accepts VI up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - prevents latch-up when interfacing with higher-voltage sensors or diagnostics lines. |
| Low propagation skew | Matched tPLH/tPHL <0.5 ns across all four channels - ensures synchronized data routing in time-critical sampling paths. |
| Multiple package options | TSSOP16 (SOT403-1) footprint enables high-density routing and automated optical inspection of solder joints - critical for ASIL-B production lines. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHC157PW-Q100 | CMOS-input version; VIH = 3.85 V (min) at VCC = 5.5 V; lower ICC (4 μA typ) | Requires CMOS-level drivers; unsuitable for direct TTL interface without level translation | Select when interfacing with 3.3 V or mixed-voltage logic domains where input threshold matching is critical |
| SN74LV157APWR | Texas Instruments part; VCC = 2.0–5.5 V; tpd = 5.5 ns (CL = 50 pF); non-automotive grade | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification; rated only to +85 °C ambient | Acceptable for non-safety-critical cabin electronics but not for powertrain or ADAS deployment |
Compared with 74AHC157PW-Q100, the AHCT variant offers guaranteed TTL compatibility and faster propagation at 5 V, while SN74LV157APWR provides broader VCC range but no automotive qualification - making 74AHCT157PW-Q100 the only drop-in solution for ASIL-B signal routing requiring both speed and qualification.

FAQ
Is 74AHCT157PW-Q100 pin-compatible with 74LS157?
Yes - it is pin-compatible with 74LS157 and other industry-standard 16-pin quad 2:1 multiplexers (e.g., 74HC157, 74HCT157). Pin functions match exactly: S (pin 1), E (pin 15), VCC (pin 16), GND (pin 8), and all I/O assignments align per JEDEC MS-012 and MO-153 outlines.
What is the maximum clock/data rate supported by this multiplexer?
The device does not operate on a clock; it is combinational. Its usable data rate depends on propagation delay and load capacitance. With CL = 15 pF and VCC = 5.0 V, tpd = 3.2 ns (typ), supporting clean signal routing up to ~150 MHz toggle rate in point-to-point configurations with proper termination.
Can unused inputs be left floating?
No - all inputs must be terminated. Floating inputs cause increased ICC, erratic switching, and potential ESD susceptibility. Unused I0/I1 pins should be tied to GND or VCC; S and E must be actively driven or pulled to defined logic states using ≥10 kΩ resistors.
Does this part support hot insertion or live swapping?
No - it lacks hot-swap protection circuitry. Power sequencing must follow VCC before inputs, and inputs must remain within −0.5 V to VCC + 0.5 V during power-up/down. Use external series resistors (≥100 Ω) if hot-plug risk exists in system architecture.
