Product details
Overview
74HCT154BQ,118 from Nexperia is a TTL-level-compatible 4-to-16 line decoder/demultiplexer in DHVQFN24 package, operating from 4.5 V to 5.5 V over -40 °C to +125 °C. It decodes four binary address inputs (A0–A3) into sixteen active-LOW mutually exclusive outputs (Y0–Y15), with dual active-LOW enable inputs (E0, E1) enabling 1-to-16 demultiplexing functionality. Used in industrial control I/O expansion and memory address decoding where TTL-compatible input thresholds and low-power CMOS logic are required.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT154BQ,118 datasheet, 74HCT154BQ,118 pinout, 74HCT154BQ,118 application, or 74HCT154BQ,118 equivalent, this device is selected for high-noise-immunity address decoding in automotive body controllers, programmable logic interface modules, and legacy bus-based peripheral selection where strict TTL input compatibility and guaranteed 4.5 V minimum supply operation are mandatory.
Technical Context
The 74HCT154BQ,118 implements a combinational logic decoder with two independent active-LOW enables: both E0 and E1 must be LOW for any output to respond to address inputs. Its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) ensure interoperability with legacy 5 V TTL logic families without level shifting. Output drive capability is ±4 mA at VCC = 4.5 V, supporting direct connection to standard CMOS/TTL loads.
Propagation delay from address input to output is 16–53 ns (typ–max) at VCC = 4.5 V and CL = 50 pF; enable-to-output delay is 15–48 ns under identical conditions. The device features input clamp diodes allowing safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when current-limiting resistors are used, and meets JESD78 Class II Level B latch-up immunity (>100 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | 4-to-16 decoder / 1-to-16 demultiplexer with active-LOW outputs and dual active-LOW enables |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with 5 V TTL systems and stable operation across industrial voltage tolerances |
| Input Thresholds | VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V - guarantees reliable recognition of standard TTL logic levels without external biasing |
| Output Drive | ±4 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to directly drive up to 10 LSTTL loads or standard CMOS inputs |
| Propagation Delay | 16 ns typ (An→Yn), 15 ns typ (En→Yn) at VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF - supports address decoding in sub-50 MHz synchronous systems |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor control environments |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - robust handling during PCB assembly and field service |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN24 (SOT815-1) package: 3.5 mm × 5.5 mm × 0.85 mm body, 24-terminal no-lead quad flat design with exposed thermal pad (non-soldered by default); optimized for high-density PCB layouts and improved thermal performance over SO24/TSSOP24 variants.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 | Y0 to Y15 | Active-LOW decoded outputs - only one asserted per valid address/enable combination; open-drain behavior not supported |
| 12 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and power domains; requires low-impedance PCB plane connection |
| 18, 19 | E0, E1 | Active-LOW enable inputs - both must be LOW for decoding; either HIGH forces all outputs HIGH (disabled state) |
| 20, 21, 22, 23 | A0, A1, A2, A3 | Binary address inputs - A0 = LSB; decoding follows standard binary weighting (Y0 = 0000, Y15 = 1111) |
| 24 | VCC | Positive supply - must be decoupled locally with 100 nF ceramic capacitor; thermal pad (terminal 1) is non-electrical unless connected to VCC |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at 4.5–5.5 V supply - eliminates need for level translators when interfacing with 5 V microcontrollers or legacy logic |
| Wide temperature range | -40 °C to +125 °C operation - supports deployment in engine control units, industrial PLCs, and outdoor infrastructure equipment |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 60 pF - enables sub-mW operation at 1 MHz toggle rate, reducing system-level thermal load |
| Input clamp diodes | Integrated protection allows safe interface to signals up to VCC + 0.5 V using series resistors - simplifies mixed-voltage board design |
| High noise immunity | Typical noise margin > 0.7 V at VCC = 4.5 V - suppresses false triggering in electrically noisy motor drive or relay control environments |

FAQ
Can 74HCT154BQ,118 operate at 3.3 V supply?
No. The 74HCT154BQ,118 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation per its recommended conditions. At 3.3 V, input thresholds fall outside TTL compatibility range and output drive degrades below specification. Use 74HC154BQ,118 instead for 2.0–6.0 V operation including 3.3 V systems.
What is the function of the exposed thermal pad (terminal 1) on the DHVQFN24 package?
Terminal 1 is a non-electrical thermal pad with no electrical requirement. It may remain floating or be connected to VCC for enhanced thermal dissipation, but must never be grounded. Soldering is optional and does not affect electrical functionality.
How do the two enable inputs (E0 and E1) interact logically?
E0 and E1 are ANDed internally: both must be LOW for decoding to occur. If either is HIGH, all sixteen outputs (Y0–Y15) go HIGH regardless of address inputs. This allows hierarchical enable chaining or use of one enable as data input in demultiplexer mode.
Is 74HCT154BQ,118 pin-compatible with 74HC154BQ,118?
Yes-both share identical DHVQFN24 (SOT815-1) pinout, terminal numbering, and mechanical footprint. However, their input threshold specifications differ: 74HCT154BQ,118 accepts TTL levels, while 74HC154BQ,118 requires CMOS-level inputs. Electrical substitution requires verification of driving source compatibility.
