Product details
Overview
74LV157AFP-E from Renesas Electronics is a quad 2-to-1 noninverting digital multiplexer IC with common select and strobe control, operating from 2.0 V to 5.5 V supply, delivering propagation delays as low as 4.1 ns (VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF), and supporting ±12 mA output drive at 5 V - used for data routing in battery-powered embedded controllers and logic interface subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the 74LV157AFP-E datasheet, 74LV157AFP-E pinout, 74LV157AFP-E application, or 74LV157AFP-E equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOP-16 package mapping, functional role in signal selection architectures, and validated alternative parts for design continuity and sourcing flexibility.
Technical Context
The 74LV157AFP-E implements four independent 2-input multiplexers sharing one active-low STB and one SEL input; when STB is low, outputs Y1–Y4 reflect selected inputs (A or B) per channel, with true (noninverted) output logic. It uses CMOS technology optimized for low-voltage operation and reduced ground bounce.
Its input tolerance supports 5.5 V maximum regardless of VCC (including VCC = 0 V), enabling mixed-voltage interfacing; output voltage swing spans 0 to VCC, and dynamic noise margins are specified with VOL(P) ≤ 0.8 V and VOH(V) ≥ 3.0 V at VCC = 3.3 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - enables direct integration into 3.3 V and 5 V logic systems without level-shifting. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 4.1 ns min @ VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF - supports high-speed data routing in real-time control paths. |
| Output Drive Current | ±12 mA @ VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - drives multiple standard TTL or CMOS loads without external buffers. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | VIH/ VIL up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - allows safe interfacing with higher-voltage peripherals. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications including automation and instrumentation. |
| Power Dissipation Capacitance | 12.0 pF @ VCC = 5.0 V, f = 10 MHz - quantifies dynamic power consumption for low-power system budgeting. |
Pinout & Package
SOP-16 (JEITA package code FP-16DAV), surface-mount plastic small-outline package with 1.27 mm lead pitch, 10.06 mm × 4.4 mm body, and Ni/Pd/Au plating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SEL) | Select control input | Common 2:1 selector for all four channels; high selects B inputs, low selects A inputs. |
| 2 (1A) | Channel 1 data input A | First multiplexer's low-side data source; routed to 1Y when SEL = L and STB = L. |
| 3 (1B) | Channel 1 data input B | First multiplexer's high-side data source; routed to 1Y when SEL = H and STB = L. |
| 4 (1Y) | Channel 1 noninverted output | True output of first 2:1 mux; no inversion applied to selected input. |
| 5 (2A) | Channel 2 data input A | Second multiplexer's low-side data source; synchronized with SEL/STB timing. |
| 6 (2B) | Channel 2 data input B | Second multiplexer's high-side data source; shares same SEL/STB control logic. |
| 7 (2Y) | Channel 2 noninverted output | True output of second 2:1 mux; electrically isolated but functionally identical to 1Y. |
| 8 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and I/O; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 9 (3B) | Channel 3 data input B | Third multiplexer's high-side input; part of 4-channel parallel data selection group. |
| 10 (3A) | Channel 3 data input A | Third multiplexer's low-side input; complements 3B under shared SEL/STB control. |
| 11 (3Y) | Channel 3 noninverted output | True output of third 2:1 mux; matches timing and drive strength of other Y outputs. |

| 14 (4Y) | Channel 4 noninverted output | True output of fourth 2:1 mux; maintains consistent VOL/VOH across all four outputs. |
| 15 (STB) | Strobe enable input | Active-low global enable; forces all Y outputs low when high, overriding SEL state. |
| 16 (VCC) | Positive supply rail | Single power supply for entire device; supports wide range (2.0–5.5 V) with stable DC characteristics. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide supply voltage range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V operation - eliminates need for separate voltage regulators in mixed-supply systems. |
| 5.5 V-tolerant inputs | All inputs rated to 5.5 V even at VCC = 0 V - enables hot-swap and legacy interface compatibility. |
| Low ground bounce | Typical VOL ground bounce < 0.8 V @ 3.3 V - reduces switching noise coupling into sensitive analog sections. |
| High noise immunity | VIL(D) ≤ 0.99 V and VIH(D) ≥ 2.31 V @ 3.3 V - ensures robust operation in electrically noisy industrial environments. |
| Low quiescent current | ICC ≤ 20 µA @ VCC = 5.5 V - extends battery life in portable instrumentation and handheld devices. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 2-to-1 multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LV157ADR | TI part in SOIC-16; identical logic function and pinout, but VIH/VIL thresholds tighter (VCC × 0.7 / VCC × 0.3) and max tPHL 19.5 ns @ 2.5 V. | Valid for 2.5 V–5.5 V systems where Renesas' wider input tolerance is not required. | Drop-in replacement in 5 V designs; verify timing margin if operating below 3.0 V. |
| 74LVC157AD,118 | Nexperia part in SO-16; same pinout and function, but lower ICC (10 µA max), higher IOL (24 mA), and faster tPHL (3.5 ns @ 3.3 V). | Better suited for high-drive, low-quiescent-current applications like FPGA I/O expansion. | Requires validation of noise immunity (VIL(D)/VIH(D) not specified); preferred for new 3.3 V designs demanding speed/power balance. |
Compared with 74LV157AFP-E, SN74LV157ADR offers identical pin compatibility but narrower input thresholds, while 74LVC157AD,118 provides superior speed and drive at 3.3 V but lacks the 5.5 V-tolerant inputs critical for mixed-voltage legacy interface support.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the 74LV157AFP-E?
The 74LV157AFP-E supports a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 5.5 V, with absolute maximum VCC rated at 7.0 V. Operation beyond 5.5 V is not recommended, as DC and switching specifications are only guaranteed within the recommended 2.0–5.5 V range. The 74LV157AFP-E also tolerates 5.5 V on all inputs even when VCC = 0 V, enabling safe hot-insertion scenarios.
Does the 74LV157AFP-E support 3.3 V logic systems?
Yes, the 74LV157AFP-E is fully compatible with 3.3 V logic systems. At VCC = 3.3 V, it delivers typical propagation delays of 6.2–11.2 ns, supports ±6 mA output drive, and meets VIH ≥ 2.31 V and VIL ≤ 0.99 V for dynamic noise margin compliance. The 74LV157AFP-E maintains full functionality across the 2.0–5.5 V range without configuration changes.
What is the function of the STB pin on the 74LV157AFP-E?
The STB (strobe) pin on the 74LV157AFP-E is an active-low enable input that globally gates all four multiplexer outputs. When STB is high, all Y outputs are forced low regardless of SEL or input states. When STB is low, the outputs reflect the selected A or B inputs based on the SEL state. This allows synchronous data gating in time-critical control sequences.
Is the 74LV157AFP-E pin-compatible with older 74LS157 devices?
No, the 74LV157AFP-E is not pin-compatible with bipolar 74LS157 devices. While both implement quad 2-to-1 multiplexing, the 74LV157AFP-E uses SOP-16 (FP-16DAV) packaging and has different pin assignments - notably GND at Pin 8 and VCC at Pin 16 - whereas 74LS157 typically uses DIP-16 or SOIC-16 with VCC at Pin 16 but differing internal pin mapping. Direct replacement requires PCB layout revision.
What thermal considerations apply to the 74LV157AFP-E in continuous operation?
The 74LV157AFP-E has a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW in still air at Ta = 25°C (SOP package), with a storage temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. For continuous operation, junction temperature must remain ≤ 150°C; derating is required above 25°C ambient. Thermal resistance θJA is not explicitly specified, but layout best practices include minimizing copper pour isolation and avoiding adjacent heat sources to maintain reliability in industrial environments.
