Product details
Overview
8509601EA from Texas Instruments is a dual 4-line to 1-line data selector/multiplexer with independent 3-state outputs, designed for bus-organized digital systems. It features two independent 4-input sections (1C0–1C3 and 2C0–2C3), common select lines (A/B), separate output-enable inputs (1OE/2OE), and operates over −55°C to 125°C. It performs parallel-to-serial conversion and enables multiplexing from eight data lines to one shared bus line in military-grade applications.
For engineers reviewing the 8509601EA datasheet, 8509601EA pinout, 8509601EA application, or 8509601EA equivalent, this device is critical for high-reliability signal routing in avionics, test equipment, and ruggedized control logic where temperature stability, output isolation, and deterministic propagation delay are required.
Technical Context
The 8509601EA implements two independent ALS-family 4:1 multiplexer sections sharing binary select inputs A and B, each driving a dedicated 3-state output (1Y and 2Y) with individual enable controls (1OE and 2OE). Its internal architecture includes inverters, drivers, and AND-OR gating for full binary decoding and data selection.
Each section supports high-speed switching with tPLH/tPHL ≤ 30 ns (SN54ALS253), low-output impedance (IOL = 12 mA min), and high-impedance off-state leakage (IOZL ≤ ±20 µA), enabling clean bus contention management without external pull-ups or arbitration logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5-V TTL/ALS logic rails and noise margin compliance. |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to 125°C - Qualified for full military temperature range, suitable for embedded systems in extreme environments. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 5 ns to 30 ns - Guarantees sub-30 ns worst-case path timing for synchronous bus arbitration and real-time data routing. |
| Output Drive (IOL/IOH) | 12 mA / −1 mA - Sufficient sink current to drive multiple TTL loads directly; compatible with legacy bus loading requirements. |
| 3-State Leakage (IOZL/IOZH) | ±20 µA - Minimizes bus leakage during output disable, preventing unintended logic-level corruption on shared data lines. |
| Input Voltage Thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V - Matches standard TTL input sensitivity, ensuring interoperability with 74LS/74ALS families. |
Pinout & Package
8509601EA is supplied in a 16-pin Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (CDIP, J package), hermetically sealed for high-reliability operation in harsh environments. Pin layout matches industry-standard 300-mil DIP footprint with no internal connections at pins 3 and 12.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1C0 | Data input 0 for first multiplexer section - connects to source channel 0 of first 4:1 path. |
| 2 | 1C1 | Data input 1 for first multiplexer section - enables selection among four parallel inputs. |
| 3 | NC | No internal connection - unused pin; must remain unconnected per design specification. |
| 4 | 1C2 | Data input 2 for first multiplexer section - part of full binary-decoded 4-input set. |
| 5 | 1C3 | Data input 3 for first multiplexer section - completes first 4:1 data source group. |
| 6 | 1Y | 3-state output for first section - drives bus line only when 1OE is low; high-Z otherwise. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference - provides return path for all internal logic and output currents. |
| 8 | 2C0 | Data input 0 for second multiplexer section - independent 4:1 path for concurrent routing. |
| 9 | 2Y | 3-state output for second section - electrically isolated from 1Y; enables dual-bus or time-multiplexed use. |
| 10 | 2C1 | Data input 1 for second section - shares select lines A/B but operates independently. |
| 11 | 2C2 | Data input 2 for second section - supports identical functionality as first section with separate I/O. |
| 12 | NC | No internal connection - unused pin; floating or grounded per PCB layout best practice. |
| 13 | 2C3 | Data input 3 for second section - completes second independent 4-input set. |
| 14 | 1OE | Output-enable for first section - active-low control; disables 1Y to high-impedance state when high. |
| 15 | 2OE | Output-enable for second section - independent enable allows selective activation of either output. |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply - powers both sections; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling per JEDEC guidelines. |
