Product details
Overview
74HCT154DB,118 from Nexperia is a TTL-level-compatible 4-to-16 line decoder/demultiplexer in SO24 package (SOT137-1), operating from 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply, featuring active-LOW 16-channel outputs, dual active-LOW enable inputs (E0, E1), and propagation delay as low as 13 ns at 4.5 V. It serves as a core address decoder in microcontroller peripheral expansion and memory-mapped I/O systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT154DB,118 datasheet, 74HCT154DB,118 pinout, 74HCT154DB,118 application, or 74HCT154DB,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL input compatibility, -40 °C to +125 °C industrial temperature range, SO24 thermal performance, and demultiplexer mode operation using E0/E1 as data/strobe inputs.
Technical Context
The device implements a binary-decoded logic array that maps four address inputs (A0–A3) to sixteen mutually exclusive active-LOW outputs (Y0–Y15). Its dual enable architecture allows synchronous gating: both E0 and E1 must be LOW for decoding to occur; either HIGH forces all outputs HIGH.
In demultiplexer mode, one enable (e.g., E0) acts as data input while the other (E1) serves as strobe-only when E1 is LOW does the selected output Yn mirror E0's logic state. Input clamp diodes support interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures direct compatibility with 5 V TTL logic families and stable operation across industrial voltage tolerances. |
| Input logic level | TTL-compatible - VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, enabling seamless integration with legacy 5 V microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
| Propagation delay | 16 ns (max) at 4.5 V - guarantees sub-20 ns address decode latency critical for real-time peripheral selection in embedded control systems. |
| Output drive | ±4 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to directly drive LED indicators, small-signal transistors, or CMOS/TTL fan-in without external buffers. |
| Operating temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - validated for under-hood automotive modules, industrial PLC backplanes, and high-reliability power supply sequencers. |
| ESD rating | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - meets JEDEC JS-001/JS-002 Class 2/C3, supporting robust handling in automated SMT assembly lines. |
| Power dissipation | 500 mW max (SO24) - enables continuous operation in compact enclosures with minimal heatsinking requirements. |
Pinout & Package
74HCT154DB,118 uses the SO24 plastic small outline package (SOT137-1), 24-pin, 7.5 mm body width, with standard gull-wing lead form and pin 1 index notch. Thermal resistance θJA = 62 K/W (typical), suitable for convection-cooled PCB layouts.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–8, 10–11, 13–17 | Y0–Y15 (active-LOW outputs) | 16 decoded outputs; only one asserted LOW per valid A3:A0 combination when both enables are active-LOW. |
| 12 | GND | Reference ground return for all internal logic and output drivers; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 18–19 | E0, E1 (active-LOW enables) | Both must be LOW to activate decoding; either HIGH disables all outputs (forces HIGH), enabling bus arbitration or hierarchical enable chaining. |
| 20–23 | A0–A3 (binary address inputs) | LSB-to-MSB address bits; latched on rising/falling edges per static CMOS design-no clock required. |
| 24 | VCC | Positive supply rail; decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) recommended within 5 mm of this pin for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 16-line demultiplexing capability | Enables single-data-line distribution to 16 destinations using E0 as data and E1 as strobe-eliminates need for separate multiplexer ICs in I/O expanders. |
| Input clamp diodes | Allow safe interface to signals up to VCC + 0.5 V via series resistors-critical for mixed-voltage board designs with 3.3 V controllers driving 5 V peripherals. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B-ensures resilience against transient overvoltage events in noisy industrial environments. |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from -40 °C to +125 °C-validates use in engine control units, motor drives, and outdoor telecom equipment without derating. |
| Low quiescent current | ICC ≤ 160 μA at 5.5 V and +125 °C-minimizes standby power in battery-backed systems and energy-sensitive IoT gateways. |
Applications
| Memory-Mapped I/O Expansion | Industrial Address Decoding |

FAQ
Can 74HCT154DB,118 operate at 3.3 V supply?
No. The 74HCT154DB,118 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation per its recommended conditions. At 3.3 V, input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V) may not be reliably met, and output drive strength degrades significantly. Use 74HC154DB,118 instead for 2.0–6.0 V operation including 3.3 V systems.
What is the maximum capacitive load per output?
Each Y0–Y15 output is characterized up to 50 pF load capacitance in dynamic testing (tpd, tt). Driving >50 pF increases propagation delay nonlinearly and may cause signal integrity issues; for >100 pF loads, add a buffer stage or reduce trace length and stubs.
How do the two enable inputs interact logically?
E0 and E1 are ANDed internally: decoding occurs only when both are LOW. If either is HIGH, all outputs go HIGH regardless of A0–A3 state. This allows cascading-e.g., using one 74HCT154's output to drive E1 of another for 5-to-32 decoding.
Is the SO24 package RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes. The 74HCT154DB,118 in SOT137-1 (SO24) package is RoHS-compliant and lead-free per Nexperia's product documentation, with matte tin (Sn) termination finish and halogen-free molding compound meeting IEC 61249-2-21 standards.
