Product details
Overview
CD54ACT153F3A from Texas Instruments is a dual 4-line-to-1-line data selector/multiplexer in a 16-pin CDIP package, operating across –55°C to 125°C. It features TTL-compatible inputs, ±24-mA output drive, balanced propagation delays (4.5–22 ns), and SCR-latchup-resistant CMOS process-used in military-grade digital control logic for signal routing in avionics timing and test instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the CD54ACT153F3A datasheet, CD54ACT153F3A pinout, CD54ACT153F3A application, or CD54ACT153F3A equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-section independent strobe (G) control, common select inputs (A/B), 5-V operation with 4.5–5.5 V tolerance, and MIL-PRF-38535 qualification for high-reliability embedded systems.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 4:1 multiplexers using AND-OR logic with inverters and drivers for full binary decoding. Each section has dedicated strobe (G) input and shared select lines A and B, enabling synchronized or isolated channel selection.
It uses an SCR-latchup-resistant CMOS process with 2-kV ESD protection per MIL-STD-883 Method 3015, and supports fanout to 15 F-series TTL devices while maintaining TTL-voltage compatibility at the inputs and delivering rail-to-rail CMOS-level outputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures stable operation under regulated 5-V military power rails with margin for ripple. |
| Propagation Delay | 4.5 ns (min) to 22 ns (max) - enables reliable timing in sub-25-ns synchronous digital control paths. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - directly drives 15 F-series TTL loads without external buffers in legacy system interfacing. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage compatible - accepts standard 0.8 V / 2.0 V logic thresholds, simplifying integration with bipolar logic families. |
| Operating Temp | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended temperature range use in aerospace, defense, and downhole electronics. |
| ESD Protection | ≥2 kV per MIL-STD-883 Method 3015 - meets military handling and board-level robustness requirements. |
| Quiescent ICC | 8 µA (typ) at 5.5 V - ultra-low static power enables battery-backed or low-power standby modes. |
Pinout & Package
CD54ACT153F3A is housed in a hermetically sealed 16-pin Ceramic Dual In-line Package (CDIP), designated "F" per TI package nomenclature, with through-hole mounting and gold-plated leads for high-reliability solder joints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1G | Strobe Input (Section 1) | Active-low enable for first 4:1 mux; disables output Y1 when high. |
| B | Select Input (Common) | MSB of 2-bit binary address shared by both sections for simultaneous or coordinated selection. |
| 1C3–1C0 | Data Inputs (Section 1) | Four parallel data sources routed to Y1 when 1G is low and A/B match selected address. |
| 1Y | Output (Section 1) | Inverted OR of enabled AND gates - delivers selected input with CMOS-level swing. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for logic and supply currents; requires low-impedance PCB connection. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply pin; must be decoupled locally with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 2G | Strobe Input (Section 2) | Independent active-low enable for second 4:1 mux - allows asynchronous channel gating. |
| A | Select Input (Common) | LSB of 2-bit binary address shared by both sections; paired with B for full 4-state decode. |
| 2C3–2C0 | Data Inputs (Section 2) | Second set of four inputs, isolated from Section 1 except for shared A/B select lines. |
| 2Y | Output (Section 2) | Independent output with identical timing and drive as 1Y; supports dual-path signal routing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 4:1 multiplexing | Two fully functional mux sections on one die, each with dedicated strobe (G) and shared select (A/B), reducing board space vs. discrete solutions. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V - eliminates level-shifting when interfacing with legacy 74F/74AS logic in retrofitted systems. |
| Balanced tPLH/tPHL propagation | Matched rise/fall delays (≤2 ns skew) - preserves pulse symmetry in clock/data routing and avoids duty-cycle distortion. |
| SCR-latchup immunity | Qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 - prevents destructive latchup under transient overvoltage or ESD events in harsh environments. |
| High-output drive capability | ±24 mA sink/source - directly interfaces with multiple TTL loads or drives transmission lines up to 75 Ω at 125°C. |
Applications

Use Value: SCR-latchup resistance and 2-kV ESD protection mitigate fault injection risks from electrical transients during side-channel attack scenarios. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD74ACT153E | Same logic function and AC/DC specs, but in plastic PDIP (N package); not MIL-qualified. | Approved for commercial/industrial use only; lacks extended temp range and QML certification. | Select when cost-sensitive prototyping or non-military production requires identical functionality without hermetic packaging. |
| SN74ACT153N | Identical logic and pinout, but rated only for –40°C to +85°C; no MIL-STD-883 testing. | Targeted at consumer/industrial equipment; unsuitable for aerospace or defense deployments. | Choose for volume production where extended temperature and military reliability are not required. |
Compared with CD74ACT153E and SN74ACT153N, the CD54ACT153F3A provides unique value in systems requiring hermetic sealing, QML-38535 compliance, and guaranteed operation across –55°C to +125°C - making it irreplaceable in certified military avionics and space-qualified subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for CD54ACT153F3A?
The CD54ACT153F3A is rated for continuous operation from –55°C to +125°C, verified per MIL-PRF-38535 requirements. This extended temperature range is achieved via hermetic CDIP packaging and process design validated for high-reliability military applications - a key differentiator from commercial variants like CD74ACT153E or SN74ACT153N.
Does CD54ACT153F3A support TTL-level input signals?
Yes, CD54ACT153F3A features TTL-voltage compatible inputs with VIH = 2.0 V (min) and VIL = 0.8 V (max) across its full temperature range. This allows direct interface with legacy 74F, 74AS, and other bipolar logic families without level-shifting circuitry - a critical feature for upgrading aging military electronics while preserving signal integrity.
What is the output drive capability of CD54ACT153F3A?
CD54ACT153F3A delivers ±24 mA output drive current at VCC = 4.5 V, enabling fanout to 15 F-series TTL devices. Its output structure also supports 50-Ω and 75-Ω transmission-line driving at elevated temperatures, verified per test conditions in the SCHS339 datasheet - essential for high-fidelity signal routing in test instrumentation and avionics.
Is CD54ACT153F3A pin-compatible with CD74ACT153E?
Yes, CD54ACT153F3A and CD74ACT153E share identical 16-pin dual-in-line pinouts and logic functionality, including common select lines (A/B), independent strobes (1G/2G), and dual outputs (1Y/2Y). However, CD54ACT153F3A uses a ceramic CDIP package (F) versus plastic PDIP (E), and is QML-38535 qualified - requiring layout verification for thermal and mechanical differences despite pin equivalence.
What packaging type does CD54ACT153F3A use?
CD54ACT153F3A is supplied in a 16-pin Ceramic Dual In-line Package (CDIP), designated "F" per Texas Instruments' package coding.
