Product details
Overview
CD74HC151E from Texas Instruments is a high-speed CMOS 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 2 V to 6 V, delivers propagation delays as low as 11 ns (at VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 15 pF), supports -55°C to +125°C industrial/military temperature range, and features buffered inputs/outputs with 10 LSTTL fanout capability - used for signal routing in data acquisition, address decoding, and logic-level selection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the CD74HC151E datasheet, CD74HC151E pinout, CD74HC151E application, or CD74HC151E equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, validated PDIP-16 package mapping, confirmed electrical specs including VIH/VIL thresholds, tpd timing at multiple VCC/temperature conditions, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for HC-family 8:1 mux replacement scenarios.
Technical Context
The CD74HC151E implements a single-pole, 8-throw analog/digital signal selector using standard CMOS transmission-gate and inverter logic. Its three select lines (A, B, C) decode binary 000–111 to route one of eight data inputs (D0–D7) to dual complementary outputs Y (non-inverting) and W (inverting), while G enables or disables all channels simultaneously.
It adheres to HC logic family specifications: rail-to-rail input voltage tolerance (0 V to VCC), guaranteed noise immunity (NIL/NIH = 30% of VCC at 5 V), low static current (ICC ≤ 160 μA over full temp range), and output drive strength sufficient for direct interfacing with LSTTL loads without level-shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | High-speed CMOS (HC), not TTL-compatible - requires 2 V–6 V supply; VIH min = 1.5 V @ 2 V, 3.15 V @ 4.5 V |
| Input Configuration | 8 data inputs (D0–D7), 3 binary select lines (A/B/C), 1 active-low enable (G) |
| Output Type | Dual complementary outputs: Y (non-inverting), W (inverting) - both buffered, capable of driving 10 LSTTL loads |
| Propagation Delay | tpd = 11 ns (typ) from select/data to Y/W @ VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 15 pF, TA = 25°C - critical for synchronous bus arbitration |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial, aerospace, and defense applications without derating |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - enables direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V systems; ICC ≤ 160 μA max over full range |
| Input Capacitance | CIN = 10 pF - low loading minimizes signal integrity impact on upstream drivers |
Pinout & Package
CD74HC151E is supplied in a 16-pin Plastic Dual In-line Package (PDIP-N), body size 19.31 mm × 6.35 mm, with through-hole mounting and standard DIP pin spacing (0.1 inch).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | G (Enable) | Active-low chip enable - when high, Y and W are forced high-impedance (disabled); essential for cascading or bus isolation |
| 2 | D0 | Data input channel 0 - routed to Y/W when A=0,B=0,C=0 and G=low |
| 3 | D1 | Data input channel 1 - selected when A=1,B=0,C=0 and G=low |
| 4 | D2 | Data input channel 2 - selected when A=0,B=1,C=0 and G=low |
| 5 | D3 | Data input channel 3 - selected when A=1,B=1,C=0 and G=low |
| 6 | D4 | Data input channel 4 - selected when A=0,B=0,C=1 and G=low |
| 7 | D5 | Data input channel 5 - selected when A=1,B=0,C=1 and G=low |

| 9 | D7 | Data input channel 7 - selected when A=1,B=1,C=1 and G=low |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system common; decoupling capacitor required at pin |
| 11 | Y | Non-inverting output - logic level matches selected Dn input when G=low |
| 12 | W | Inverting output - logic level is complement of selected Dn input when G=low |
| 13 | C | Select line C (MSB) - forms 3-bit binary address with B (pin 14) and A (pin 15) |
| 14 | B | Select line B - middle bit of 3-bit channel address |
| 15 | A | Select line A (LSB) - least-significant bit of channel address |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply - bypass with 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin per TI layout guidance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Complementary Y/W outputs | Eliminates need for external inverters in applications requiring both true and complemented signals (e.g., differential bus drivers) |
| Buffered inputs and outputs | Ensures consistent drive strength and noise rejection across all pins - prevents loading-induced timing skew in multi-stage logic |
| Wide supply range (2–6 V) | Supports mixed-voltage system integration without level translators - interoperable with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V legacy peripherals |
| High noise immunity (30% VCC) | Guarantees reliable operation in electrically noisy environments (e.g., motor control, power supply monitoring) without added filtering |
| Extended temperature range (-55°C to +125°C) | Enables use in under-hood automotive, downhole oil/gas, and military avionics where commercial-grade parts fail |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for CD74HC151E?
The CD74HC151E supports a maximum supply voltage of 6 V, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above 6 V risks permanent damage. At 6 V, typical propagation delay is 43 ns (max) and output drive capability reaches 5.2 mA sink/source, enabling direct connection to higher-current loads without buffering.
Does CD74HC151E support 3.3 V logic systems?
Yes, CD74HC151E fully supports 3.3 V operation: its recommended VCC range includes 3.3 V, VIH minimum is 2.31 V (30% of 3.3 V), and VIL maximum is 0.99 V - compatible with standard 3.3 V CMOS logic families. No level shifting is needed when interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers or FPGAs.
What is the function of the W output on CD74HC151E?
The W output on CD74HC151E is the active-low (inverting) complement of the selected data input. When G = low and select lines choose Dn, W = NOT(Dn) while Y = Dn. This dual-output architecture eliminates external inverters in applications requiring both polarities - such as differential signaling or active-low enable generation.
Can CD74HC151E be used in place of CD74HCT151E?
CD74HC151E can replace CD74HCT151E only if all driving logic meets HC input thresholds (VIH ≥ 1.5 V @ 2 V, ≥ 3.15 V @ 4.5 V). CD74HCT151E accepts standard TTL levels (VIH ≥ 2 V), whereas CD74HC151E does not guarantee recognition of marginal TTL-high signals below 3.15 V at 4.5 V supply - verify driver compatibility before substitution.
Is CD74HC151E RoHS compliant?
Yes, CD74HC151E is RoHS compliant, as confirmed in TI's Package Option Addendum: material type is "NIPDAU" (nickel-palladium-gold), RoHS status is "Yes", and it meets lead-free soldering requirements with peak reflow profile compatibility for standard SMT processes.
