Product details
Overview
74HCT157DB,118 from Nexperia is a quad 2-input TTL-compatible multiplexer IC used for digital signal routing in data selection and bus management circuits. It features a single active-low enable (E) input, a common select (S) line, four independent 2:1 data paths (1Y–4Y), and operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V with propagation delays as low as 12 ns at VCC = 5 V and CL = 15 pF. It is widely deployed in industrial control logic, microcontroller peripheral interfacing, and address/data bus switching.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT157DB,118 datasheet, 74HCT157DB,118 pinout, 74HCT157DB,118 application, or 74HCT157DB,118 equivalent, key selection considerations include its TTL-level input compatibility, guaranteed operation over -40 °C to +125 °C, SO16 package footprint, non-inverting data path, and ESD robustness (HBM >2000 V).
Technical Context
The 74HCT157DB,118 implements four independent 2:1 multiplexers sharing one select (S) and one active-low enable (E) control line. Each channel routes either the I0 or I1 input to its corresponding Y output based on S state, with E overriding all outputs to LOW when asserted HIGH.
Its TTL-compatible inputs accept 0.8 V (VIL max) and 2.0 V (VIH min) thresholds at VCC = 5 V, ensuring direct interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL logic families. Output drive capability is specified at ±4 mA, supporting standard CMOS/TTL fan-out loads under recommended operating conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with 5 V TTL systems and stable operation across industrial voltage tolerances. |
| Propagation Delay (nI0/nI1 → nY) | 13 ns (typ) at VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF - Enables reliable high-speed data selection in synchronous digital systems up to ~30 MHz. |
| Input Thresholds (VIH/VIL) | 2.0 V / 0.8 V at VCC = 5 V - Guarantees noise-immune recognition of standard TTL logic levels without level-shifting. |
| Output Drive (IOH/IOL) | -4 mA / +4 mA - Supports direct connection to multiple 74-series inputs or small capacitive loads (<50 pF) without buffering. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - Validated for use in under-hood automotive modules, industrial PLCs, and extended-temperature embedded controllers. |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - Reduces risk of field failure during handling and board assembly in non-ESD-controlled environments. |
| Power Dissipation Capacitance | 70 pF - Used to calculate dynamic power (PD = CPD × VCC² × fi × N), critical for thermal budgeting in dense logic designs. |
Pinout & Package
74HCT157DB,118 is supplied in a plastic small outline package (SO16) per SOT109-1, with 16 leads, 3.9 mm body width, and standard 1.27 mm lead pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or index area at the top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | S (Select) | Common control input: LOW selects I0 sources, HIGH selects I1 sources across all four channels. |
| 2, 5, 11, 14 | 1I0, 2I0, 3I0, 4I0 | Data inputs from source 0 - routed to respective Y outputs when S = LOW. |
| 3, 6, 10, 13 | 1I1, 2I1, 3I1, 4I1 | Data inputs from source 1 - routed to respective Y outputs when S = HIGH. |
| 4, 7, 9, 12 | 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y | Non-inverting multiplexer outputs - reflect selected I0 or I1 input with no polarity inversion. |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference (0 V) - required for proper biasing and noise rejection of all internal circuitry. |
| 15 | E (Enable) | Active-HIGH override: forces all Y outputs LOW regardless of S or input states - enables global output disable. |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply rail (4.5–5.5 V) - powers internal CMOS logic and defines logic threshold references. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V at VCC = 5 V - eliminates need for external level translators when interfacing with 74LS/74F families. |
| Quad 2:1 multiplexing with shared controls | Single S and E lines manage four independent data paths - reduces PCB routing complexity and control pin count. |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from -40 °C to +125 °C - supports deployment in engine control units, motor drives, and outdoor industrial equipment. |
| Clamp diodes on all inputs | Enables safe interface to voltages exceeding VCC using current-limiting resistors - simplifies mixed-voltage system design. |
| Low dynamic power consumption | CPD = 70 pF - limits switching power dissipation in high-frequency applications, easing thermal management. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT157D,653 | Same die, identical electrical specs, but in SO16 package with different reel packaging (1000 pcs vs. 2500 pcs) and traceability coding. | No functional difference - suitable for identical applications including industrial control and bus switching. | Select when requiring standard distribution packaging or specific logistics labeling per OEM procurement policy. |
| SN74HCT157DR | Texas Instruments variant: VIH/VIL tighter (2.0 V/0.8 V same), but tpd slightly higher (16 ns typ @ 5 V), and rated only to +85 °C ambient. | Limited to commercial/industrial environments without extended temperature demands; not qualified for 125 °C operation. | Choose only if TI supply chain alignment is mandatory and thermal margin allows operation below +85 °C ambient. |
Compared with 74HCT157DB,118, the 74HCT157D,653 offers identical performance in a functionally interchangeable package, while SN74HCT157DR trades extended temperature support for TI-specific supply chain access and slightly relaxed speed.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74HCT157DB,118?
The 74HCT157DB,118 does not operate on a clock signal-it is combinational logic with propagation delay as the key timing parameter. With tpd = 13 ns (typ) at VCC = 4.5 V and CL = 50 pF, it supports reliable data selection in systems where input setup/hold times exceed 15 ns, enabling effective use in 30 MHz synchronous buses with appropriate timing margins.
Can the 74HCT157DB,118 interface directly with 3.3 V microcontrollers?
No-its TTL-compatible inputs require VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 5 V, but it is not 3.3 V tolerant. Driving it from a 3.3 V MCU output risks marginal VIH recognition and increased static power due to partial turn-on of input stages. A level shifter or 5 V buffer is required for reliable interfacing.
Is the 74HCT157DB,118 pin-compatible with the 74HC157 series?
Yes-both share identical pinout (SOT109-1 SO16), logic function, and terminal assignments. However, the 74HC157 uses CMOS-level inputs (VIH = 3.15 V at VCC = 4.5 V), making it incompatible with TTL sources without level translation, whereas the 74HCT157DB,118 is designed specifically for TTL interoperability.
Does the 74HCT157DB,118 support hot-swap or live-insertion?
No-this device lacks hot-swap protection circuitry such as power-on reset, slew-rate controlled I/Os, or undervoltage lockout. Applying VCC while inputs are driven can cause latch-up or excessive ICC due to internal parasitic SCR conduction. Power sequencing must follow GND → VCC → inputs to ensure safe operation.
