Product details
Overview
CD54HCT151F3A from Texas Instruments is a military-grade 8-input digital multiplexer with complementary non-inverting (Y) and inverting (W) outputs, three binary select inputs (A/B/C), and active-low enable (G). It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers propagation delays as low as 12 ns (enable-to-Y, 25°C, CL = 15 pF), and supports full military temperature range (–55°C to +125°C). It is used in high-reliability data routing within avionics control logic and hardened test instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the CD54HCT151F3A datasheet, CD54HCT151F3A pinout, CD54HCT151F3A application, or CD54HCT151F3A equivalent, key selection criteria include its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V), dual-output polarity support, guaranteed operation across extreme temperatures, and CDIP-16 hermetic packaging for radiation-tolerant systems.
Technical Context
The CD54HCT151F3A implements a single-pole, 8-throw analog-style switching function using CMOS logic gates - not transmission gates - enabling deterministic digital signal routing without analog leakage or charge injection concerns. Its internal architecture buffers all inputs and outputs, ensuring consistent drive strength and noise immunity across the full operating range.
It features fully decoded 3-bit binary selection (CBA) that routes exactly one of eight data inputs (D0–D7) to both Y (non-inverted) and W (inverted) outputs simultaneously when G is low; all outputs go high-impedance when G is high. No internal latching or memory is present - it is purely combinational.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures direct compatibility with standard 5 V LSTTL logic rails and eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry. |
| Propagation Delay (G → Y) | 12 ns min / 44 ns max (–55°C to +125°C, CL = 50 pF) - enables synchronization in sub-25 MHz digital control loops. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V - guarantees robust interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL outputs without external pull-ups or translators. |
| Output Drive | ±4 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive 10 LSTTL loads directly, reducing fanout buffer count in dense logic arrays. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 for use in aerospace, defense, and downhole industrial systems. |
| Package | CDIP-16 (J package), 24.38 mm × 6.92 mm - hermetically sealed ceramic dual in-line package with through-hole leads for high-reliability PCB mounting. |
| Power Dissipation Cap. | CPD = 58 pF - allows accurate dynamic power estimation (PD = VCC² × f × (CPD + CL)) for thermal design in sealed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
CD54HCT151F3A is housed in a 16-pin Ceramic Dual In-line Package (CDIP, J package), with 0.300-inch row spacing and hermetic glass-seal construction. Pin 1 is located at the left end of the top row, identified by a notch or dot marking on the package body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Active-low enable | When high, forces Y and W into high-impedance state - essential for bus sharing and multi-mux cascading. |
| A, B, C | Binary select inputs | Decode 3-bit address (CBA) to select D0–D7; internally buffered to reject noise and ensure monotonic switching. |
| D0–D7 | Data inputs | Eight independent digital inputs; no internal termination - require external biasing if unused to prevent floating states. |
| Y | Non-inverting output | Passes selected input signal without inversion; driven actively high/low - not open-drain or open-collector. |
| W | Inverting output | Provides logical complement of Y output simultaneously - eliminates need for external inverters in differential routing. |
| VCC | Positive supply | Must be decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed ≤2 mm from pin to suppress switching transients. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for all inputs, outputs, and supply - requires low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Complementary outputs (Y and W) | Enables single-device generation of true/complement signals for clock gating, parity generation, or differential bus driving. |
| Buffered inputs and outputs | Eliminates timing skew between select lines and data paths; maintains consistent VIH/VIL margins across temperature and voltage extremes. |
| LSTTL input compatibility | Accepts standard TTL output levels directly - no external resistors or level shifters required in mixed-logic systems. |
| Wide temperature operation | Validated performance from –55°C to +125°C supports deployment in unheated avionics bays and engine-mounted controllers. |
| Low quiescent current | ICC ≤ 160 µA over full temperature range - critical for battery-backed or low-power standby modes in mission-critical systems. |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CD54HCT151F3A for reliable data routing?
The CD54HCT151F3A is a combinational logic device with no internal clock - it does not operate at a "clock frequency." Its usable data rate is determined by propagation delay and system setup/hold timing. With a worst-case enable-to-Y delay of 44 ns (–55°C to +125°C), it supports reliable routing of signals with transitions up to approximately 10–12 MHz in synchronous systems, assuming adequate board-level timing margin and load capacitance ≤50 pF. The CD54HCT151F3A must be used with externally generated control signals meeting its specified input transition times (≤500 ns for 4.5 V).
Does CD54HCT151F3A require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Yes - all unused inputs (A, B, C, D0–D7, G) on the CD54HCT151F3A must be terminated to a defined logic level (VCC or GND) to prevent floating states that cause excessive supply current, erratic output behavior, or increased EMI. TI explicitly mandates this in Section 9.1 of the datasheet. Leaving any input unconnected violates absolute maximum ratings and may degrade CD54HCT151F3A reliability in high-temperature operation. Use 1–10 kΩ resistors for robust biasing.
Can CD54HCT151F3A be used with 3.3 V logic systems?
No - the CD54HCT151F3A is strictly a 4.5 V to 5.5 V device. Its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and output drive specifications are characterized only within that supply range. Operating the CD54HCT151F3A at 3.3 V violates recommended conditions and results in undefined logic levels, excessive propagation delay, and potential failure to recognize valid inputs. For 3.3 V systems, use CD74HC151M or similar HC-series parts with 2–6 V operation.
What is the meaning of "F3A" in the CD54HCT151F3A part number?
The "F3A" suffix in CD54HCT151F3A denotes Texas Instruments' standardized military packaging and screening code: "F" indicates ceramic dual in-line package (CDIP), "3" specifies lead finish as solderable tin-lead (SnPb), and "A" identifies the revision level per TI's internal manufacturing documentation. This suffix confirms the device meets MIL-PRF-38535 Class V requirements and is distinct from commercial variants like CD74HCT151E (plastic DIP) or CD74HCT151M (SOIC). The CD54HCT151F3A is traceable to QML-certified production lots.
Is CD54HCT151F3A pin-compatible with CD54HC151F3A?
Yes - CD54HCT151F3A and CD54HC151F3A share identical pinout, package (CDIP-16), and functional block diagram. However, they differ electrically: CD54HC151F3A operates from 2 V to 6 V with CMOS input thresholds, while CD54HCT151F3A requires 4.5–5.5 V and accepts TTL-level inputs. Interchanging them without adjusting supply voltage and driving logic will cause functional failure. Both devices are drop-in replacements only when their respective voltage and interface requirements are met in the target system.
