Renesas 74HC153FP-E

Overview

74HC153FP-E from Renesas Electronics is a dual 4-to-1-line data selector/multiplexer in SOP-16 package, operating from 2 V to 6 V supply, with 13 ns typical propagation delay (CL = 50 pF), ±25 mA output drive, and low quiescent current (4 µA max at 25°C). It enables digital signal routing in logic control, address decoding, and data path selection circuits.

For engineers reviewing the 74HC153FP-E datasheet, 74HC153FP-E pinout, 74HC153FP-E application, or 74HC153FP-E equivalent, key selection criteria include dual independent strobe-controlled multiplexing, wide VCC range compatibility, guaranteed timing performance across –40°C to +85°C, and JEITA-standard SOP-16 packaging for surface-mount industrial logic designs.

Technical Context

The 74HC153FP-E implements two independent CMOS-based 4:1 multiplexers sharing common select lines (A, B) but featuring separate strobe inputs (1G, 2G) and outputs (1Y, 2Y). Each channel selects one of four data inputs (C0–C3) based on binary address A/B, with active-low enable logic.

It conforms to high-speed HC logic family specifications: input thresholds scale with VCC (VIH ≥ 70% VCC, VIL ≤ 30% VCC), supports fanout of 10 LSTTL loads, and maintains rail-to-rail output swing under load - enabling interoperability with TTL, LS-TTL, and other 5 V/3.3 V logic families within mixed-voltage systems.

FAQ

What logic family does the 74HC153FP-E belong to, and how does it differ from HCT or LS variants?

The 74HC153FP-E belongs to the high-speed CMOS (HC) logic family. It features CMOS input structure with VCC-referenced thresholds (VIH ≥ 70% VCC), unlike HCT which has TTL-compatible inputs, and differs from LS in lower power consumption and higher noise immunity. The 74HC153FP-E operates from 2 V to 6 V, while LS variants require 5 V only and draw significantly more current. Its 13 ns typical propagation delay and 4 µA quiescent current make it suitable for mixed-voltage industrial designs where the 74HC153FP-E replaces obsolete bipolar logic without redesign.

Does the 74HC153FP-E support independent addressing of its two multiplexers?

No - the 74HC153FP-E uses shared select inputs (A and B) for both multiplexers, meaning both channels respond to the same 2-bit address. However, each has its own active-low strobe (1G and 2G), allowing independent enable/disable control. This architecture enables synchronized data selection with asynchronous channel activation - for example, selecting identical inputs across two paths while gating output delivery separately. The 74HC153FP-E pinout reflects this shared-select/dual-strobe topology in its SOP-16 layout.

What is the maximum output current rating for the 74HC153FP-E, and under what conditions is it specified?

The 74HC153FP-E specifies ±25 mA maximum output current per output pin (1Y or 2Y), measured under DC conditions with VCC = 6 V and Ta = 25°C. This rating applies to steady-state sink or source capability - not peak pulse current. At VCC = 4.5 V, the guaranteed VOH is ≥4.13 V at IOH = –4 mA and VOL ≤0.33 V at IOL = 4 mA, confirming robust drive strength for LSTTL loads. Designers must observe absolute maximum ratings and ensure thermal limits are maintained when operating the 74HC153FP-E near its current limits.

Can the 74HC153FP-E be used in 3.3 V systems, and what are the key interface considerations?

Yes - the 74HC153FP-E is fully compatible with 3.3 V systems, as its VCC range includes 2 V to 6 V and its input thresholds scale with supply (VIH ≥ 2.31 V at VCC = 3.3 V). Outputs swing rail-to-rail, ensuring clean 3.3 V logic levels. Key interface considerations include using 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitors near VCC/GND pins, limiting trace lengths for address/select lines to minimize ringing, and verifying that driving sources meet the 1 µA max input leakage requirement. The 74HC153FP-E performs reliably in 3.3 V applications such as microcontroller peripheral multiplexing without level shifters.

Is the 74HC153FP-E rated for automotive or extended temperature applications?

No - the 74HC153FP-E is qualified for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and classified as "Standard" grade per Renesas quality grading. It is intended for computers, office equipment, communications gear, test equipment, audio/video devices, home appliances, machine tools, personal electronics, and industrial robots. It is not approved for automotive, medical life-support, aerospace, or nuclear applications. For automotive use, Renesas offers AEC-Q100 qualified alternatives; the 74HC153FP-E datasheet explicitly excludes transportation equipment and safety-critical systems, and designers must select accordingly when specifying the 74HC153FP-E.
