Product details
Overview
7601701EA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade dual 4-line to 1-line data selector/multiplexer in a 16-pin CDIP package, operating over –55°C to +125°C, with TTL-compatible inputs/outputs, typical propagation delay of 15 ns, and fan-out of 10 LSTTL loads. It performs digital signal routing in hardened aerospace control logic.
For engineers reviewing the 7601701EA datasheet, 7601701EA pinout, 7601701EA application, or 7601701EA equivalent, key selection criteria include military temperature range compliance, dual independent select control, TTL-level compatibility, and CDIP hermetic packaging for radiation-tolerant systems.
Technical Context
The 7601701EA implements two independent 4:1 multiplexers sharing common address lines (A₀, A₁) but with separate enable (1G, 2G) and output (1Y, 2Y) terminals. Each channel selects one of four data inputs (1D₀–1D₃ or 2D₀–2D₃) based on binary address decoding.
It uses bipolar TTL circuitry with Schottky-clamped transistors to achieve high-speed switching and noise immunity. The device requires dual supply rails (VCC = 5 V, GND), draws 24 mA max ICC, and meets MIL-STD-883 Class B screening requirements for high-reliability applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | LS-TTL - ensures compatibility with legacy 74LS/54LS system interfaces and predictable DC noise margins. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-range military and spaceborne avionics environments. |
| Propagation Delay | 15 ns (max) - enables reliable operation in synchronous digital systems clocked up to ~30 MHz. |
| Fan-Out | 10 LSTTL loads - supports direct drive of multiple downstream TTL inputs without buffering. |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±0.5 V - mandates stable regulated power; no internal voltage regulation or wide-VCC tolerance. |
| Package Type | CDIP (J) - hermetically sealed ceramic dual in-line package with through-hole mounting and MIL-PRF-38535 compliance. |
Pinout & Package
7601701EA is housed in a 16-pin Ceramic Dual In-Line Package (CDIP, drawing J), with 0.3-inch body width, 0.1-inch lead pitch, and glass-sealed ceramic construction for moisture resistance and thermal stability in harsh environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | Data Inputs (Channel 1) | 1D₀–1D₃ - four parallel digital inputs routed to output 1Y when enabled and addressed. |
| 5, 6 | Select Lines | A₀, A₁ - binary address bits determining which of the four inputs passes to the output. |
| 7 | Channel 1 Enable | 1G - active-low gate; 1Y = high-impedance when 1G = high. |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and power connections. |
| 9 | Channel 2 Enable | 2G - independent active-low enable for second multiplexer channel. |
| 10, 11, 12, 13 | Data Inputs (Channel 2) | 2D₀–2D₃ - second set of four inputs routed to 2Y under same address control. |
| 14 | Output (Channel 2) | 2Y - complementary buffered output of Channel 2 multiplexer. |
| 15 | VCC | +5 V power supply - must be decoupled locally per MIL-STD-883 requirement. |
| 16 | Output (Channel 1) | 1Y - non-inverted buffered output of Channel 1 multiplexer. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 4:1 multiplexing | Enables simultaneous routing of two separate 4-bit data streams using shared address lines-reduces PCB routing and control logic overhead. |
| MIL-PRF-38535 Class B qualification | Guarantees screening for burn-in, temperature cycling, and hermeticity-required for flight-critical subsystems. |
| Common address bus (A₀/A₁) | Minimizes control signal count; allows synchronized selection across both channels without additional decode logic. |
| Active-low individual channel enables (1G/2G) | Permits selective activation or isolation of each multiplexer-supports dynamic reconfiguration in real-time control paths. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 4:1 multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JM38510/30908BEA | Identical electrical specs and pinout; differs only in manufacturer lot traceability and test documentation per MIL-PRF-38535. | No functional difference; used interchangeably in DoD contracts requiring alternate source approval. | Select when sourcing requires full QML-38535 certification with traceable lot history and 100% screening records. |
| SNJ54LS253J | Same die, identical CDIP package, identical marking (SNJ54LS253J); 7601701EA is TI's orderable part number for this device. | No distinction in use case-both are military-spec versions of SN54LS253 in CDIP. | Select when procurement system requires TI's internal orderable ID rather than generic military drawing nomenclature. |
Compared with JM38510/30908BEA and SNJ54LS253J, the 7601701EA offers identical functionality and packaging but is TI's designated orderable ID for the SN54LS253 in CDIP configuration-ensuring consistent logistics tracking and TI-specific quality documentation for defense prime integrators.

FAQ
What is the function of the 7601701EA?
The 7601701EA is a dual 4-line to 1-line data selector/multiplexer that routes one of four digital inputs per channel to a single output under binary address control. It features independent enable inputs for each channel and operates across –55°C to +125°C. The 7601701EA implements standard LS-TTL logic levels and is used in hardened digital control systems where signal routing integrity is critical.
Is the 7601701EA pin-compatible with commercial SN74LS253 variants?
No-the 7601701EA uses a 16-pin CDIP (J) package qualified to MIL-PRF-38535, while commercial SN74LS253 variants use PDIP (N) or SOIC (D) packages with different thermal, mechanical, and reliability specifications. Pin numbering matches the SN54LS253 logic diagram, but physical footprint and soldering requirements differ significantly. The 7601701EA is not a drop-in replacement for commercial versions.
What does the "EA" suffix indicate in 7601701EA?
The "EA" suffix in 7601701EA denotes Texas Instruments' internal orderable part number for the SN54LS253 device in the CDIP (J) package, meeting Class B screening per MIL-STD-883. It reflects TI's packaging, testing, and documentation configuration-not a functional variant. The 7601701EA shares identical logic behavior, timing, and DC characteristics with SNJ54LS253J and JM38510/30908BEA.
Does the 7601701EA require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its inputs?
No-the 7601701EA has TTL-compatible inputs with built-in input clamping diodes and appropriate threshold voltages; no external biasing resistors are needed for standard operation. Input high-level voltage minimum is 2.0 V, and low-level maximum is 0.8 V, matching standard LS-TTL driving sources. The 7601701EA is designed for direct interfacing with other LS-TTL outputs without additional components.
Can the 7601701EA operate at 3.3 V?
No-the 7601701EA is specified only for VCC = 5 V ±0.5 V and will not meet timing or logic thresholds at 3.3 V. Its internal bipolar transistor structure requires nominal 5 V for proper saturation and noise margin. Operating outside the 4.5 V–5.5 V range risks incorrect logic states, increased propagation delay, or latch-up. The 7601701EA must be powered from a regulated 5 V supply compliant with MIL-STD-704 for avionics use.
