Product details
Overview
CD74HC157EG4 from Texas Instruments is a high-speed CMOS quad 2-input non-inverting multiplexer with active-low enable (E), common select (S), and 16-pin PDIP package. It operates from 2V to 6V, supports -55°C to +125°C industrial/military temperature range, delivers ≤38 ns propagation delay at 6V/50pF, and forces all outputs low when enabled high - used in register-to-bus data routing and logic function generation.
For engineers reviewing the CD74HC157EG4 datasheet, CD74HC157EG4 pinout, CD74HC157EG4 application, or CD74HC157EG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its HC-family voltage flexibility (2–6V), guaranteed rail-to-rail output drive under full temperature range, non-inverting output behavior versus CD74HC158, and compatibility with LSTTL loads via 10-unit fanout capability.
Technical Context
The CD74HC157EG4 implements four independent 2:1 multiplexers sharing one select line (S) and one active-low enable (E). Each channel routes either I0 or I1 to Y based on S state, with E overriding all inputs to force Y = LOW when HIGH. Its HC logic family ensures CMOS-level input thresholds and noise immunity (NIL/NIH = 30% of VCC at 5V).
Propagation delays are specified across voltage (2V/4.5V/6V) and load (15pF/50pF) conditions, with worst-case tPLH/tPHL = 190 ns at 2V/50pF and 21 ns at 6V/50pF. Input leakage remains ≤±1 µA over full temperature range, and quiescent ICC is ≤160 µA at 6V and -55°C to +125°C.

| 3 (1I1) | Channel 1 Data Input 1 | Second data source for channel 1; selected when S = HIGH |
| 4 (1Y) | Channel 1 Output | Non-inverting output of channel 1 - mirrors selected input (1I0 or 1I1) |
| 5 (2I0) | Channel 2 Data Input 0 | First data source for channel 2; shares same S and E control as other channels |
| 6 (2I1) | Channel 2 Data Input 1 | Second data source for channel 2; synchronized selection with all four channels |
| 7 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output current - must be low-impedance |
| 8 (2Y) | Channel 2 Output | Non-inverting output of channel 2 - electrically isolated but logically coordinated with other Y pins |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for CD74HC157EG4?
The CD74HC157EG4 supports a DC supply voltage range of 2V to 6V. Absolute maximum rating is 7V, but sustained operation above 6V risks permanent damage. At 6V, it achieves minimum propagation delay (21 ns) and full rail-to-rail output swing, making it ideal for 5V systems with margin or mixed-voltage designs where 3.3V logic interfaces with 5V peripherals. Always observe derating curves in the datasheet for high-temperature operation.
Does CD74HC157EG4 have the same pinout as CD74HCT157E?
Yes, CD74HC157EG4 and CD74HCT157E share identical 16-pin PDIP pinouts, including identical placement of E, S, I0/I1 inputs, Y outputs, VCC, and GND. This allows direct substitution in existing PCB layouts when upgrading from HCT to HC logic - provided the system's supply voltage and input logic levels align with HC specifications (2V–6V supply, CMOS-compatible inputs). No board revision is required for pin-compatible replacement.
How does the enable (E) pin function on CD74HC157EG4?
On CD74HC157EG4, the E pin is active-low: when E = HIGH, all four Y outputs are forced LOW regardless of S or input states; when E = LOW, normal multiplexing occurs based on S. This behavior differs from the inverting CD74HC158, where E = HIGH forces Y = HIGH. The active-low enable simplifies integration with microcontroller GPIOs and enables global output blanking in time-critical applications like burst-mode data acquisition.
Can CD74HC157EG4 drive standard TTL loads?
Yes, CD74HC157EG4 is rated for 10 LSTTL loads per output, meaning it can directly drive up to 10 standard TTL inputs without external buffers. This is verified across the full -55°C to +125°C temperature range and at VCC = 4.5V–6V. At 5V supply, VOH ≥ 4.4V and VOL ≤ 0.1V meet TTL VIH (≥2.0V) and VIL (≤0.8V) thresholds with margin, ensuring reliable interfacing with legacy 74LS and 74ALS families in industrial backplanes.
Is CD74HC157EG4 RoHS compliant?
Yes, CD74HC157EG4 is RoHS compliant, as confirmed by Texas Instruments' packaging documentation. The "G4" suffix denotes lead-free finish (NiPdAu) and compliance with EU Directive 2011/65/EU. It uses matte tin or NiPdAu lead finish on PDIP package, with no exemptions applied. Full compliance documentation, including substance declarations and test reports, is available via TI's Quality & Environmental Information portal using orderable part number CD74HC157EG4.
