Product details
Overview
74HCT251PW,112 from Nexperia is an 8-input TTL-compatible CMOS multiplexer with complementary outputs (Y and Y), three binary select lines (S0–S2), and active-low 3-state output enable (OE). It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers propagation delays as low as 19 ns (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF), and supports industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C). It is used in digital logic routing, data selector circuits, and bus interface control in embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT251PW,112 datasheet, 74HCT251PW,112 pinout, 74HCT251PW,112 application, or 74HCT251PW,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-level input compatibility, dual complementary outputs, OE-controlled 3-state operation, TSSOP16 packaging for high-density PCBs, and guaranteed performance across extended temperature ranges.
Technical Context
The 74HCT251PW,112 implements a standard 8:1 multiplexer function using static CMOS logic with TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V). Its non-inverting data path routes one of eight inputs (I0–I7) to Y based on S0–S2 address bits, while Y provides the logical complement.
Output enable (OE) controls both Y and Y simultaneously: OE = HIGH forces both outputs into high-impedance OFF-state, enabling bus sharing; OE = LOW enables normal multiplexing. Input clamp diodes allow safe 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 and mixed-voltage systems without level shifting. |
| Propagation Delay (In → Y) | 19 ns typ @ VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - Enables reliable operation in 25 MHz+ digital control paths. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - Guarantees robust noise margin and seamless interfacing with legacy TTL outputs. |
| Output Drive | ±4 mA @ VCC = 4.5 V - Sufficient to drive 10 LSTTL loads or moderate capacitive loads (<50 pF). |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood, industrial motor control, and harsh-environment embedded applications. |
| Power Dissipation | CPD = 46 pF - Predictable dynamic power consumption for thermal budgeting in dense logic layouts. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - Reduces handling sensitivity and improves board-level reliability during assembly. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP16 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT403-1); 16-pin, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch; RoHS-compliant, lead-free termination.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 12, 13, 14, 15 | Data Inputs (I0–I7) | Eight parallel digital inputs; I0 = Pin 1, I1 = Pin 2, ..., I7 = Pin 12 per functional diagram and pin description table. |
| 5 | True Output (Y) | Non-inverted selected input signal; driven actively or placed in high-Z when OE = HIGH. |
| 6 | Complementary Output (Y) | Inverted version of Y; both outputs switch synchronously and share same 3-state control via OE. |
| 7 | Output Enable (OE) | Active-low enable; HIGH disables both outputs (high-Z), LOW enables multiplexing function. |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and I/O; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 9, 10, 11 | Select Inputs (S2, S1, S0) | Binary address lines selecting I0–I7; S2 = Pin 9, S1 = Pin 10, S0 = Pin 11 per pin configuration Fig. 5. |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply rail; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) recommended adjacent to this pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH/VIL thresholds match standard 5 V TTL, eliminating need for external level translators in mixed-logic systems. |
| Dual complementary outputs | Simultaneous true (Y) and inverted (Y) outputs reduce external inverters in differential signaling or latch-based sampling. |
| 3-state output control | Single OE pin disables both Y and Y to high-impedance, enabling direct connection to shared data buses without contention. |
| Wide temperature operation | Specified from −40 °C to +125 °C ensures stable timing and logic integrity in automotive engine control and industrial PLC modules. |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 46 pF enables predictable power modeling; ICC < 160 μA at +125 °C minimizes quiescent heating in sealed enclosures. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Microcontroller Peripheral Multiplexing |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Routing multiple sensor inputs (temperature, pressure, flow) to a single ADC channel in a programmable logic controller. IC Role / Device Role: 8:1 analog multiplexer front-end with TTL-compatible control from PLC's 5 V microcontroller.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8:1 multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT251PWR (TI) | Same TTL-compatible inputs, identical pinout (TSSOP16), but higher ICC (max 200 μA at +125 °C vs. 160 μA). | Valid for drop-in replacement where layout allows; slightly higher quiescent current may impact battery-powered designs. | Prefer when TI supply chain alignment is required; verify thermal derating above 91 °C due to lower Ptot derating slope (7.5 mW/K vs. 8.5 mW/K). |
| 74LVC251PW,118 (Nexperia) | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V), CMOS inputs only (VIH = 0.7×VCC), faster tpd (14 ns @ 3.3 V), no complementary Y output. | Suitable for 3.3 V-only systems; lacks Y output, requiring external inverter for differential use cases. | Select only for 3.3 V domains with strict speed requirements; not interoperable with 5 V TTL control signals. |
Compared with SN74HCT251PWR, the 74HCT251PW,112 offers lower high-temperature supply current and superior thermal derating; compared with 74LVC251PW,118, it retains full 5 V TTL compatibility and dual-output capability essential for legacy system upgrades.

FAQ
Can the 74HCT251PW,112 operate at 3.3 V?
No. The 74HCT251PW,112 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. At 3.3 V, input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V) become unreliable, and output drive falls outside guaranteed specifications. For 3.3 V systems, use the pin-compatible 74LVC251PW,118 instead.
What is the maximum capacitive load the Y and Y outputs can drive?
The outputs are characterized up to 50 pF (CL = 50 pF) in dynamic testing. Driving >50 pF increases propagation delay and transition time-e.g., tpd rises from 19 ns to ~53 ns at +125 °C. For >50 pF loads, add series termination or buffer stages to maintain timing integrity.
Is the complementary output (Y) truly inverted, or is it just a buffered copy?
Y is a true logical inversion of Y, generated internally via dedicated CMOS inverter stage-not a separate output buffer. Both outputs switch simultaneously with matched propagation delays (tpd difference < 1 ns), supporting precise differential sampling and noise-canceling receiver interfaces.
Does the OE pin support partial power-down when VCC is applied but OE is held HIGH?
Yes. With OE = HIGH, both Y and Y enter high-impedance state, reducing ICC to ≤160 μA (max at +125 °C). However, internal logic remains powered-inputs continue drawing leakage current (≤1.0 μA per pin), and propagation delay specs do not apply. Full power-down requires removing VCC.
