Product details
Overview
74HCT251D-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-grade 8-input, 3-state multiplexer with TTL-compatible inputs, complementary Y/Y̅ outputs, and active-low output enable (OE). It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V across -40 °C to +125 °C, supports high-impedance tri-state control, and features CMOS low-power dissipation with 100% tested latch-up immunity (>100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B). It is used in automotive body control modules for signal routing between sensor banks and microcontroller ADC inputs.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT251D-Q100 datasheet, 74HCT251D-Q100 pinout, 74HCT251D-Q100 application, or 74HCT251D-Q100 equivalent, key selection considerations include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, TTL-level input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 5 V), propagation delay of 22–53 ns (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, CL = 50 pF), 3-state enable/disable timing (ten = 13–42 ns), and SO16 (SOT109-1) package compatibility with legacy PCB footprints.
Technical Context
The 74HCT251D-Q100 implements a non-inverting 8:1 data selector using standard CMOS logic with TTL-compatible input thresholds. Its three select lines (S0–S2) decode binary addresses to route one of eight data inputs (I0–I7) to the true (Y) and complement (Y̅) outputs, while OE controls full output disable to high-impedance state.
It integrates input clamp diodes for overvoltage tolerance, meets JEDEC JESD8C (2.7–3.6 V) and JESD7A (2.0–6.0 V) standards, and delivers ESD robustness (HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V). The device's static and dynamic characteristics are fully specified across automotive temperature extremes (-40 °C to +125 °C) and validated per AEC-Q100 stress test requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation within automotive 5 V rail tolerances and avoids undervoltage lockout. |
| Input Logic Type | TTL-compatible - Accepts standard 5 V TTL logic levels (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), eliminating level-shifting in mixed-logic systems. |
| Propagation Delay | 22 ns (typ) to 53 ns (max) at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, CL = 50 pF - Enables reliable sampling of multiplexed sensor signals up to ~10 MHz effective switching rate. |
| Enable/Disable Time | ten = 13–42 ns, tdis = 14–42 ns - Supports fast channel switching in time-critical diagnostics and multi-sensor polling sequences. |
| Output Drive | ±4 mA (VOH/VOL @ VCC = 4.5 V) - Sufficient to drive standard CMOS/TTL loads without external buffering in control-plane signal routing. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood and powertrain applications where ambient thermal stress exceeds industrial grade limits. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | Grade 1 - Certified for automotive use with full temperature range coverage, including extended life testing and failure mode analysis. |
Pinout & Package
74HCT251D-Q100 is housed in a plastic small outline package (SO16), designated SOT109-1, with 16 leads and 3.9 mm body width. This RoHS-compliant surface-mount package supports reflow soldering and provides mechanical stability in vibration-prone automotive environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 12, 13, 14, 15 | I0–I7 | Eight independent data inputs - Each accepts standard TTL logic; routed to Y/Y̅ based on S0–S2 address. |
| 5 | Y | True multiplexer output - Delivers selected input signal with non-inverting polarity and 3-state capability. |
| 6 | Y̅ | Complementary output - Provides inverted copy of Y for differential sensing or logic redundancy. |
| 7 | OE | Active-low output enable - Driven LOW to activate outputs; HIGH forces Y/Y̅ into high-impedance OFF-state. |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference - Serves as 0 V return path for all internal circuitry and I/O pins. |
| 9, 10, 11 | S0, S1, S2 | Binary select inputs - Encode 3-bit address (000–111) to choose one of eight data sources. |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply - Powers internal logic and output drivers; must be decoupled locally per automotive EMC guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-input multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HC251D-Q100 | CMOS-level inputs (VIH = 3.15 V min at VCC = 4.5 V); wider 2.0–6.0 V supply range | Better suited for mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 3.3 V logic interfacing with 5 V sensors) but incompatible with pure TTL source drivers | Select when interfacing with HC-family logic or wide-supply designs; avoid if driving from legacy 5 V TTL gates. |
| SN74LV251APWREP | LV-family (1.65–5.5 V), lower propagation delay (17 ns typ), enhanced ESD (HBM >8 kV), same SO16 footprint | Qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class V for extended reliability; not AEC-Q100 certified but widely used in automotive Tier 1 programs | Choose for higher-speed or military-grade ruggedness requirements; verify AEC-Q100 compliance separately if required for OEM submission. |
Compared with 74HC251D-Q100 and SN74LV251APWREP, the 74HCT251D-Q100 uniquely balances TTL interoperability, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 certification, and proven field reliability in production automotive ECUs-making it the preferred choice where legacy 5 V logic integration and formal automotive qualification are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency for reliable signal routing with the 74HCT251D-Q100?
The 74HCT251D-Q100 does not specify a maximum clock frequency, but its propagation delay (22–53 ns) and transition time (7–22 ns) support reliable multiplexing of digital signals up to approximately 10 MHz in typical PCB layouts with 50 pF load. For analog sensor multiplexing, bandwidth is limited by output drive strength and board parasitics-not the IC itself-and requires external RC filtering per channel.
Can the 74HCT251D-Q100 drive a 50 pF capacitive load at 5 V while maintaining valid VOH/VOL levels?
Yes. At VCC = 4.5 V and IO = ±4.0 mA, the device guarantees VOH ≥ 3.98 V and VOL ≤ 0.26 V into a 50 pF load, meeting standard TTL and CMOS logic thresholds. These values are verified across -40 °C to +125 °C and align with JEDEC JESD7A requirements for 2.0–6.0 V operation.
Is the 74HCT251D-Q100 pin-compatible with the 74HC251D-Q100?
Yes-both share identical SO16 (SOT109-1) pinout, pin functions, and mechanical footprint. However, their input threshold specifications differ: 74HCT251D-Q100 accepts TTL-level inputs (VIH ≥ 2.0 V), while 74HC251D-Q100 requires CMOS-level inputs (VIH ≥ 3.15 V at VCC = 4.5 V). Swapping them requires verifying source driver compatibility.
Does the 74HCT251D-Q100 support hot insertion or live insertion into a powered system?
No. The device lacks explicit hot-swap protection circuitry. While input clamp diodes allow limited overvoltage tolerance (±20 mA clamping current), applying signals before VCC ramp-up or removing VCC while inputs are active risks latch-up or parametric shift. Automotive designs must follow controlled power sequencing per ISO 16750-2.
