Nexperia USA Inc. 74HC153PW,118

Overview

74HC153PW,118 from Nexperia is a dual 4-input CMOS multiplexer with independent active-low enable inputs (1E, 2E), common binary select lines (S0, S1), and non-inverting outputs (1Y, 2Y). It operates from 2.0 V to 6.0 V, delivers propagation delays as low as 10 ns at VCC = 6.0 V, and supports industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C) in TSSOP16 package. It routes one of four data inputs per channel to its output based on select logic - used in digital signal routing, address decoding, and bus arbitration.

For engineers reviewing the 74HC153PW,118 datasheet, 74HC153PW,118 pinout, 74HC153PW,118 application, or 74HC153PW,118 equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, real-world timing behavior, validated pin-level circuit roles, and precise substitution guidance for logic-level multiplexing in embedded control and instrumentation systems.

Technical Context

The device implements two independent 4:1 multiplexers sharing S0/S1 select lines but featuring separate enable inputs (1E, 2E), enabling selective activation of each channel without external gating. Each multiplexer selects one of four inputs (e.g., 1I0–1I3) using a 2-bit binary code applied to S0/S1, with output asserted only when its enable is LOW.

Input clamping diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when current-limiting resistors are used. Logic thresholds are CMOS-compatible (VIH ≥ 70% VCC, VIL ≤ 30% VCC), ensuring noise immunity up to 45% VCC at VCC = 4.5 V, and static drive capability of ±4.0 mA at VOH/VOL specifications.

FAQ

Can 74HC153PW,118 operate reliably at 3.3 V supply?

Yes - the 74HC153PW,118 is fully specified from 2.0 V to 6.0 V. At VCC = 3.3 V, VIH = 2.31 V (70% of VCC) and VIL = 0.99 V (30% of VCC), providing 1.32 V noise margin. Propagation delay is 19 ns (max) at 3.3 V, CL = 50 pF, meeting requirements for 25 MHz digital control buses.

What is the maximum clock frequency supported for S0/S1 toggling?

S0 and S1 are asynchronous select inputs with no minimum pulse width requirement. The device supports continuous toggling up to 50 MHz, limited by t_pd (14 ns max at VCC = 4.5 V) and transition time (t_t = 13 ns max), assuming proper PCB layout and 50 pF load. No setup/hold timing is required relative to enable or data inputs.

Does 74HC153PW,118 support hot insertion or live swapping?

No - the device lacks hot-swap protection circuitry. Applying VCC before GND, or connecting inputs before supply stabilization, may cause latch-up or excessive ICC. Always follow power sequencing: GND → VCC → inputs. Use series resistors (≥100 Ω) on all inputs if live connection is unavoidable.

How does the enable input (1E/2E) behave electrically when HIGH?

When 1E or 2E is HIGH, the corresponding output (1Y or 2Y) is forced LOW regardless of S0/S1 state or input values - not high-impedance. This active-LOW enable is implemented with internal NAND logic, drawing <1 μA leakage current. Output remains LOW until enable returns LOW and valid select/data conditions are met.
