Product details
Overview
74LVC157ABQ,115 from Nexperia is a quad 2-input CMOS multiplexer with independent data select (S) and active-low enable (E) inputs, operating from 1.2 V to 3.6 V supply, supporting mixed-voltage translation between 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains, and featuring Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity in industrial control and FPGA I/O expansion applications.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC157ABQ,115 datasheet, 74LVC157ABQ,115 pinout, 74LVC157ABQ,115 application, or 74LVC157ABQ,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16-terminal DHVQFN package, -40 °C to +125 °C temperature rating, 2.5 ns typical propagation delay at 3.3 V, overvoltage-tolerant 5.5 V inputs, and guaranteed output skew ≤1.5 ns across all four channels.
Technical Context
The 74LVC157ABQ implements four independent 2:1 multiplexers sharing one common select line (S) and one global enable input (E), where E high forces all outputs low regardless of S or input states. Its Schmitt-trigger inputs accept slow-rising signals and tolerate input voltages up to 5.5 V while powered from as low as 1.2 V.
It complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-7A (1.65–1.95 V), JESD8-5A (2.3–2.7 V), and JESD8-C/JESD36 (2.7–3.6 V), and supports dynamic power calculation via CPD = 15.9 pF at 3.0–3.6 V, enabling precise thermal modeling in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2 V to 3.6 V - Enables direct interface with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V systems without level shifters. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - Allows safe connection to 5 V legacy peripherals while powered from 3.3 V or lower. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 1.0–6.5 ns at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V - Supports >150 MHz data switching in high-speed digital routing paths. |
| Output Skew (tsk(o)) | ≤1.5 ns - Ensures synchronized channel switching critical for parallel bus gating and clock domain crossing. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood automotive ECUs, industrial PLCs, and outdoor telecom equipment. |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - Reduces need for external protection in board-level ESD-prone environments. |
| Power Dissipation Cap | 500 mW (DHVQFN16) - Supports continuous operation in thermally dense FPGA/ASIC companion logic layouts. |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN16 (SOT763-1) package: 2.5 mm × 3.5 mm × 0.85 mm body, leadless, thermal-enhanced, 16-terminal quad flat no-lead with exposed thermal pad (GND(1)), compatible with standard reflow profiles and automated optical inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2Y | Output of second multiplexer channel - drives downstream logic or bus lines with rail-to-rail CMOS swing. |
| 2 | 3I1 | Data input source 1 for third channel - accepts 5.5 V-tolerant signals even when VCC = 1.2 V. |
| 3 | 2I1 | Data input source 1 for second channel - shares same select logic as other channels for compact control. |
| 4 | 3I0 | Data input source 0 for third channel - enables dual-source routing per channel (e.g., sensor vs. calibration signal). |
| 5 | 2I0 | Data input source 0 for second channel - used in redundant path selection or test mode injection. |
| 6 | 4Y | Output of fourth multiplexer channel - routed to ADC input or microcontroller GPIO with minimal trace length. |
| 7 | GND(1) | Exposed thermal pad - must be soldered to internal ground plane for thermal dissipation and EMI reduction. |
| 8 | 1Y | Output of first multiplexer channel - primary data path for system boot configuration or status reporting. |
| 9 | 4I1 | Data input source 1 for fourth channel - supports hot-swap detection or failover signal routing. |
| 10 | 1I1 | Data input source 1 for first channel - connects to high-priority interrupt source or watchdog feed. |
| 11 | 4I0 | Data input source 0 for fourth channel - used for default state or factory calibration value selection. |
| 12 | 1I0 | Data input source 0 for first channel - typically tied to fixed logic level or pull-up/pull-down network. |
| 13 | E | Active-low enable - asserted high disables all outputs to high-impedance-equivalent LOW, preventing bus contention. |
| 14 | GND | Signal ground reference - decoupled locally with 100 nF ceramic capacitor near VCC pin. |
| 15 | 3Y | Output of third multiplexer channel - feeds real-time monitoring circuitry with deterministic latency. |
| 16 | VCC | Core supply input - requires separate 1.2–3.6 V regulator or LDO with ≤10 mV ripple for stable timing margins. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Withstands 5.5 V on any input while VCC = 1.2 V - eliminates external clamping diodes in mixed-voltage designs. |
| Schmitt-trigger input thresholds | Hysteresis ≥0.3 V at VCC = 3.3 V - rejects noise on long traces or unshielded cables in motor drive feedback loops. |
| JEDEC-compliant voltage ranges | Validated across three industry-standard VCC bands (1.65–1.95 V, 2.3–2.7 V, 2.7–3.6 V) - ensures interoperability with memory interfaces and SoC I/O banks. |
| Low static current | ICC ≤ 40 μA at VCC = 3.6 V and full logic activity - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Thermal-enhanced DHVQFN | RθJA = 11.2 mW/K derating above 106 °C - sustains 500 mW total power in compact 2.5 × 3.5 mm footprint. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | FPGA Configuration Routing |
|---|---|
|

FAQ
Can the 74LVC157ABQ,115 operate with a 1.2 V supply while accepting 5 V inputs?
Yes. The device features overvoltage-tolerant inputs rated to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level. At VCC = 1.2 V, inputs remain fully functional and compliant with JEDEC JESD8-7A, enabling safe interfacing with 5 V sensors or legacy controllers without external level-shifting circuitry.
What is the function of the exposed thermal pad (GND(1)) on pin 7?
Pin 7 is an exposed thermal pad electrically connected to GND and thermally coupled to the die. It must be soldered to a dedicated PCB ground plane with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) to achieve specified thermal performance (500 mW max power) and reduce junction temperature rise by up to 25 °C.
How does the enable (E) input interact with the select (S) input?
E is active-low: when E = HIGH, all four outputs (1Y–4Y) are forced LOW regardless of S state or input values. When E = LOW, outputs follow the S-controlled multiplexer function (S = LOW selects I0; S = HIGH selects I1). This priority logic prevents bus contention during system reset or standby modes.
Is the 74LVC157ABQ,115 qualified for automotive applications?
No. Although rated for -40 °C to +125 °C, this part is not AEC-Q100 qualified and lacks automotive-specific stress testing, failure analysis, or PPAP documentation. It may be used in non-safety-critical automotive subsystems (e.g., infotainment, lighting) only after full customer validation.
