Product details
Overview
CD54HC157F from Texas Instruments is a military-grade quad 2-input non-inverting multiplexer in 16-lead CERDIP package, operating from 2V to 6V with -55°C to +125°C temperature range, 25mA output drive, and propagation delay of 21ns (typ) at 6V/CL=50pF - used for register-to-bus data routing in aerospace avionics and hardened control systems.
For engineers reviewing the CD54HC157F datasheet, CD54HC157F pinout, CD54HC157F application, or CD54HC157F equivalent, key selection criteria include its wide-temperature CMOS logic compatibility, active-low enable control, common select architecture, and guaranteed operation under extreme thermal stress without derating.
Technical Context
The CD54HC157F implements four independent 2:1 multiplexers sharing one common Select (S) input and one active-low Enable (E) input; each channel routes either I0 or I1 to Y based on S state when E is low. Its HC logic family ensures rail-to-rail voltage transfer, high noise immunity (NIL/NIH = 30% of VCC), and balanced tPLH/tPHL transition times.
It features buffered inputs and outputs, fanout capability of 10 LSTTL loads, and quiescent ICC ≤160µA over full temperature range. The device lacks internal latching or clocking - it is purely combinational, with all timing parameters defined relative to input edge transitions (tr/tf = 6ns).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | High-speed CMOS (HC), compatible with 2V–6V supply - enables direct interface with mixed-voltage systems without level shifters. |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for military/aerospace applications requiring unbuffered operation across extreme ambient conditions. |
| Propagation Delay | 21ns max at VCC = 6V, CL = 50pF - supports reliable 25MHz+ data switching in synchronous bus architectures. |
| Output Drive | ±25mA per output - sufficient to directly drive multiple LSTTL inputs or short PCB traces without external buffers. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 1.5V min (2V), 4.2V min (6V); VIL = 0.5V max (2V), 1.8V max (6V) - provides robust noise margin across full supply range. |
| Power Dissipation | CPD = 62pF - enables accurate dynamic power estimation via PD = VCC² × fi × (CPD + CL) for thermal design. |

| 11 | 4I1 | Data input 1 for channel 4 - supports simultaneous 4-bit data selection from dual sources. |
| 12 | 4Y | Non-inverting output for channel 4 - final output in quad set; routed to shared data bus or FPGA interface. |
| 13 | 3I0 | Data input 0 for channel 3 - maintains consistent pin mapping across all four channels. |
| 14 | 3I1 | Data input 1 for channel 3 - enables uniform PCB layout for replicated channel routing. |
| 15 | 3Y | Non-inverting output for channel 3 - provides third parallel output for 4-bit word transfer. |
| 16 | S (Select) | Common 2:1 selector - determines whether I0 or I1 is passed to all Y outputs simultaneously. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad 2:1 multiplexing with common control | Reduces component count by consolidating four independent 2:1 switches into single CERDIP IC - simplifies layout and improves inter-channel timing matching. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 2-input multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD74HC157M | SOIC-16 plastic package, commercial/military temp (-55°C to +125°C), identical electrical specs - lower cost, non-hermetic. | Suitable for ground-based industrial controllers where radiation tolerance and vacuum sealing are not required. | Select CD74HC157M for cost-sensitive terrestrial designs with standard humidity and pressure environments. |
| CD54HCT157F3A | HCT variant: TTL-compatible inputs (VIH ≥ 2V, VIL ≤ 0.8V), 4.5V–5.5V only - no 2V–6V flexibility. | Required when interfacing directly with legacy LSTTL logic families without level translation. | Choose CD54HCT157F3A only when existing system uses strict 5V LSTTL signaling and cannot accommodate HC's wider VCC range. |
Compared with CD74HC157M and CD54HCT157F3A, the CD54HC157F uniquely combines hermetic CERDIP reliability, full 2V–6V operation, and military temperature qualification - making it irreplaceable in mission-critical airborne or spaceborne deployments where package integrity and voltage flexibility are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for CD54HC157F?
The CD54HC157F has an absolute maximum DC supply voltage (VCC) of 7V, but its functional operating range is specified from 2V to 6V. Operation above 6V violates the recommended conditions and may cause excessive current draw or accelerated aging. For reliable long-term use in military systems, TI specifies 6V as the upper limit - the CD54HC157F must not be operated continuously at 7V even if within absolute maximum ratings.
Does CD54HC157F support 3.3V logic interfaces?
Yes, the CD54HC157F fully supports 3.3V operation: its HC logic family guarantees correct functionality at VCC = 3.3V, with VIH(min) = 2.0V and VIL(max) = 1.1V at that voltage - providing >1.2V noise margin. Input thresholds scale with VCC, so the CD54HC157F interfaces cleanly with 3.3V microcontrollers, FPGAs, and peripheral ICs without level shifters or pull-up resistors.
How does the enable pin (E) behave on CD54HC157F?
The CD54HC157F features an active-low enable input (pin 1). When E is high, all four Y outputs (1Y–4Y) are forced low regardless of S or input states - this is a hard-wired disable condition. When E is low, the device becomes operational and Y outputs reflect the selected I0/I1 inputs per the S signal. This behavior ensures safe default-off operation critical for fault-tolerant systems.
Is CD54HC157F pin-compatible with CD54HCT157F3A?
Yes, the CD54HC157F and CD54HCT157F3A share identical 16-pin CERDIP package footprints, pin assignments, and functional block diagrams - they are mechanically and logically interchangeable. However, their input threshold specifications differ: the CD54HC157F accepts 2V–6V supplies with CMOS-compatible inputs, while CD54HCT157F3A requires 4.5V–5.5V and accepts LSTTL input levels. Substitution requires verifying supply voltage and driver compatibility.
What is the typical power dissipation of CD54HC157F at 5V and 1MHz?
At VCC = 5V and input frequency fi = 1MHz, the CD54HC157F dissipates approximately 0.75mW per multiplexer stage. Using the formula PD = VCC² × fi × (CPD + CL), with CPD = 62pF and assuming CL = 15pF (typical PCB trace load), total dynamic power is ~0.75mW. Adding quiescent ICC ≈ 80µA yields <1mW total - well within CERDIP thermal limits for continuous operation in sealed enclosures.
