Product details
Overview
CD54HCT154F3A from Texas Instruments is a military-grade 4-to-16-line decoder/demultiplexer with dual enable inputs (E1, E2), operating over -55°C to +125°C, compatible with LSTTL logic levels (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V), and specified for 4.5 V–5.5 V supply. It drives up to 15 LSTTL loads and supports cascading and demux functions in high-reliability timing and address selection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the CD54HCT154F3A datasheet, CD54HCT154F3A pinout, CD54HCT154F3A application, or CD54HCT154F3A equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, CERDIP-24 package details, truth-table-driven decoding behavior, thermal limits, and qualified alternatives for aerospace, defense, and industrial control systems requiring extended temperature operation.
Technical Context
The CD54HCT154F3A implements active-low 4-bit binary decoding with two independent enable inputs: a High on either E1 or E2 forces all 16 outputs (Y0–Y15) High; only when both enables are Low does address decoding occur via A0–A3. Its HCT logic family ensures direct interface with legacy LSTTL drivers while maintaining CMOS input leakage (≤1 µA) and noise immunity (NIL/NIH = 30% of VCC).
Propagation delay is tightly controlled across temperature: 34–53 ns (E1/E2 to output, CL = 50 pF, VCC = 4.5 V), with balanced tPLH/tPHL and transition times ≤22 ns. The device uses standard TTL-compatible input thresholds and delivers VOH ≥ 3.7 V / VOL ≤ 0.4 V into 4-mA TTL loads at VCC = 4.5 V, enabling robust signal integrity in mixed-logic systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 4-to-16 decoder/demultiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD54HC154F3A | Wider VCC range (2–6 V), CMOS-input thresholds (VIH ≥ 1.5 V @ 2 V), higher ICC (160 µA max), no LSTTL compatibility | Suitable for mixed-voltage systems but incompatible with legacy TTL drivers | Select when interfacing with 3.3 V or variable-supply logic; avoid if driving 5 V TTL loads directly |
| SN54LS154J | Bipolar TTL technology, VCC = 5 V only, higher ICC (60 mA typ), slower propagation (35 ns min), no extended temp rating | Legacy drop-in for non-military designs; lacks -55°C to +125°C qualification and hermetic packaging | Use only in commercial-temp, cost-sensitive retrofits where radiation tolerance and thermal margin are not required |
Compared with CD54HC154F3A, the CD54HCT154F3A provides guaranteed LSTTL interoperability at the cost of narrower supply range; versus SN54LS154J, it delivers superior thermal resilience and lower static power but requires attention to CMOS input drive strength.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by CD54HCT154F3A?
The CD54HCT154F3A does not specify a maximum clock frequency, as it is a combinational logic device. Its usable switching rate is determined by propagation delay: with tPHL/tPLH ≤ 53 ns (max) at VCC = 4.5 V and CL = 50 pF, the CD54HCT154F3A supports reliable operation up to approximately 10–12 MHz in synchronous address decode applications, assuming adequate setup/hold timing margins.
Is CD54HCT154F3A pin-compatible with CD74HCT154M96?
No, CD54HCT154F3A is not pin-compatible with CD74HCT154M96. The CD54HCT154F3A uses a 24-lead CERDIP (J) package with 0.100" lead pitch, while CD74HCT154M96 uses a 24-lead SOIC (DW) package with 0.025" pitch and different pin 1 orientation. Physical mounting, soldering profile, and PCB layout are incompatible between these packages.
Does CD54HCT154F3A require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
No, CD54HCT154F3A does not require external pull-up resistors. Its outputs are active-pull to VCC or GND (totem-pole), capable of sourcing/sinking ±25 mA per pin. Pull-ups are unnecessary unless open-drain emulation or wired-OR logic is explicitly implemented - which is not supported by the CD54HCT154F3A's output structure.
What is the meaning of "F3A" in CD54HCT154F3A?
The "F3A" suffix in CD54HCT154F3A denotes Texas Instruments' internal package and processing variant: "F" indicates CERDIP (J) package, "3" specifies tube packaging (15 units per tube), and "A" identifies the revision level per TI's military product coding system. This suffix confirms QML-38535 Class V qualification and hermetic seal verification.
Can CD54HCT154F3A be used in place of CD54HC154F3A in an existing design?
CD54HCT154F3A can replace CD54HC154F3A only if the system uses 5 V LSTTL-compatible inputs and does not require operation below 4.5 V. The CD54HCT154F3A has stricter input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and narrower supply range (4.5–5.5 V), whereas CD54HC154F3A operates from 2–6 V with CMOS thresholds. Swapping requires validation of input drive strength and supply stability.
