Product details
Overview
85097012A from Texas Instruments is a military-grade 4-bit dual 2-line-to-1 data selector/multiplexer with 3-state outputs, designed for bus-organized systems requiring high-speed signal routing and bus isolation. It operates across −55°C to 125°C, features 20-pin LCCC (FK) ceramic package, supports A/B select control, and delivers tPLH/tPHL ≤ 12 ns (A/B → Y) at VCC = 5 V. It enables multiplexing of two 4-bit data sources onto four shared output lines in high-reliability avionics and defense computing backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the 85097012A datasheet, 85097012A pinout, 85097012A application, or 85097012A equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, military temperature-range operation, 3-state bus interface capability, LCCC package mechanical data, and direct substitution guidance for SN54ALS257A-compatible designs.
Technical Context
The 85097012A implements dual independent 2:1 multiplexers per data bit - each with separate A/B select input and common output-enable (OE) - enabling simultaneous selection of one of two 4-bit inputs (A or B) onto four 3-state outputs (1Y–4Y). Its logic architecture uses ALS (Advanced Low-Power Schottky) TTL technology, delivering low power consumption (ICC ≤ 14 mA at VCC = 5.5 V, outputs disabled) while maintaining compatibility with standard TTL voltage thresholds.
It supports true 3-state output control: when OE is high, all outputs enter high-impedance state without loading the bus; when OE is low, selected inputs propagate to outputs with guaranteed VOH ≥ 2.4 V (IOH = −2.6 mA) and VOL ≤ 0.4 V (IOL = 24 mA). Propagation delays are fully characterized over the full military temperature range, with tPZH/tPZL ≤ 20 ns for output enable/disable transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures stable operation under regulated 5 V supply with ±10% tolerance, compatible with MIL-STD-704 aircraft power buses. |
| Operating Temp | −55°C to 125°C - qualified for extended-life deployment in airborne, spaceborne, and ground vehicle electronics without derating. |
| tPLH / tPHL (A/B → Y) | 2 ns (min) / 12 ns (max) - enables sub-10 MHz bus switching in real-time control subsystems with deterministic timing margins. |
| IOL / IOH | 24 mA / −2.6 mA - drives standard TTL loads directly; supports fan-out of ≥10 LS-TTL gates without buffers. |
| 3-State Leakage | ±20 µA (IOZL/IOZH) - minimizes bus leakage current during high-impedance state, critical for low-power standby modes in mission-critical systems. |
| Package | LCCC-20 (FK), 8.89 mm × 8.89 mm, 1.27 mm pitch - hermetically sealed ceramic package with superior thermal conductivity and moisture resistance for harsh environments. |
Pinout & Package
LCCC-20 (FK) ceramic package: 8.89 mm × 8.89 mm body, 1.27 mm lead pitch, no leads - solderable metallized terminations on underside perimeter. Hermetic seal meets MIL-PRF-38535 requirements for reliability class QML-38535.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 | Data I/O or Control | Includes 1A–4A, 1B–4B (data inputs), A/B (select), OE (output enable), 1Y–4Y (3-state outputs); precise assignment per top-view diagram in SDAS124C Rev. AUG 1996. |
| 9 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and power domains; must be connected to system chassis ground plane for EMI control. |
| 20 | VCC | +5 V power supply; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed within 5 mm of terminal. |
| NC (Pin 9 not used in FK variant) | No internal connection | Pin 9 is unconnected in LCCC-20 package - confirmed by TI package drawing FK and SDAS124C pinout table for FK. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual 4-bit 2:1 multiplexing | Routes two independent 4-bit data words (A and B) to shared 4-bit bus using single A/B select line - reduces PCB trace count and simplifies address/data path arbitration. |
| True 3-state outputs | Outputs present high-impedance state (Z) when OE = HIGH - eliminates bus contention in multi-source systems without external tri-state buffers. |
| MIL-STD-883 Class B screening | Qualified per SN54ALS257A spec - includes temperature cycling, steady-state life test, and bond strength validation for flight-critical applications. |
| ALS TTL compatibility | Meets VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V, and VOH/VOL specs matching LS-TTL and standard TTL - enables drop-in replacement in legacy military digital systems. |
| LCCC-20 hermetic packaging | Zero moisture ingress, <1 ppm He leak rate, and −65°C to +150°C storage rating - ensures long-term reliability in vacuum, high-humidity, or salt-fog environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 4-bit dual 2:1 multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54ALS257AFK | Identical die, same LCCC-20 package, identical marking (85097012A), and identical QML-38535 qualification level. | No functional or application difference - alternate orderable part number referencing same device. | Select SNJ54ALS257AFK only if procurement system requires explicit manufacturer prefix; both share identical traceability and lot history. |
| 5962-8862601EA | Same SN54ALS257A functionality but in 16-pin CDIP (J) package; lacks pins for NC terminals present in FK layout. | Requires PCB redesign due to different footprint, pin count, and thermal profile; unsuitable for space-constrained LCCC layouts. | Choose only when legacy CDIP socket infrastructure exists and thermal/power constraints allow higher junction temperatures. |
Compared with SNJ54ALS257AFK (identical device) and 5962-8862601EA (CDIP variant), 85097012A offers optimal fit for new LCCC-based designs requiring hermetic sealing, minimal board area, and MIL-STD-883 Class B reliability - with no trade-offs in speed, drive strength, or logic behavior.

FAQ
What is the exact function of the 85097012A?
The 85097012A is a dual 4-bit 2-line-to-1 data selector/multiplexer with 3-state outputs, implementing two independent 2:1 muxes per bit (A/B selection) and a common output-enable (OE) control. It routes either the A or B 4-bit input word to four 3-state outputs (1Y–4Y), as defined in the SN54ALS257A specification. The 85097012A performs this function with full military temperature range support and LCCC packaging.
Is the 85097012A pin-compatible with commercial SN74ALS257A variants?
No - the 85097012A uses a 20-pin LCCC (FK) package, while commercial SN74ALS257A parts use 16-pin D, N, or NS packages. Pin count, layout, and terminal configuration differ fundamentally. Direct PCB replacement is not possible; redesign is required to accommodate the LCCC-20 footprint, GND/VCC placement, and NC pin locations specific to the 85097012A.
Does the 85097012A support hot-swap or live-insertion?
The 85097012A does not include built-in hot-swap protection circuitry. While its 3-state outputs minimize bus contention during power-up, the device lacks controlled slew-rate outputs, undervoltage lockout, or bus-fault tolerance. For live-insertion applications, external current-limiting resistors and sequencing controllers must be implemented - as confirmed by absence of hot-swap features in SDAS124C and TI's SN54ALS257A documentation.
What is the maximum clock/data rate supported by the 85097012A?
The 85097012A does not operate on a clock; it is combinatorial logic. Its maximum usable data rate is determined by propagation delay: tPHL/tPLH ≤ 12 ns (A/B → Y) and tPZL/tPHZ ≤ 12 ns (OE → Y). This supports reliable operation up to ~40 MHz toggle rate in synchronous bus systems, assuming setup/hold margins and PCB trace delays are accounted for - values confirmed in SDAS124C switching characteristics tables for SN54ALS257A.
Can the 85097012A be used in place of SN54ALS258A?
No - the 85097012A corresponds exclusively to SN54ALS257A (dual 2:1 mux), not SN54ALS258A (quad 2:1 mux with individual OE per channel). Functional differences include number of independent select controls (one A/B vs. four), output-enable architecture (common OE vs. per-output OE), and internal logic structure. Substitution would require redesign of control logic and signal routing - confirmed by distinct function tables and logic diagrams in SDAS124C.
