Product details
Overview
CD74HC253M from Texas Instruments is a dual 4-to-1 line selector/multiplexer with three-state outputs, designed for digital signal routing in bus-oriented systems. It features common S0/S1 select inputs, independent 1OE/2OE enable controls, operates from 2V to 6V, supports -55°C to +125°C industrial temperature range, and delivers 30ns typical propagation delay at 4.5V with 50pF load.
For engineers reviewing the CD74HC253M datasheet, CD74HC253M pinout, CD74HC253M application, or CD74HC253M equivalent, this device is selected for high-reliability multiplexing in aerospace data acquisition, test equipment channel switching, and industrial PLC I/O expansion where wide VCC tolerance and robust three-state bus driving are required.
Technical Context
The CD74HC253M implements two independent 4-input multiplexers sharing S0 and S1 select lines, each with dedicated output-enable (1OE, 2OE) controlling high-impedance state entry. Its HC logic family ensures CMOS-level input thresholds and rail-to-rail output swing across 2–6V supply.
Propagation delay is balanced between select-to-output (35ns typ @4.5V) and data-to-output paths, while disable/enable timing (30ns/22ns typ @4.5V) enables precise bus arbitration. Input leakage remains ≤±1µA over full temperature range, supporting low-power standby operation.

| Wide Supply Range | 2V–6V operation supports mixed-voltage system integration (e.g., 3.3V logic interfacing with 5V legacy peripherals) |
| High Noise Immunity | NIL/NIH = 30% of VCC at 5V ensures reliable operation in electrically noisy industrial environments |
Applications
| Test Equipment Channel Selection | Aerospace Data Acquisition |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Automated test systems switch between multiple sensor inputs or DUT signals using a single ADC or logic analyzer channel. IC Role / Device Role: Dual 4-to-1 multiplexer routes up to eight analog or digital signals to two shared measurement paths. Use Value: Reduces component count versus discrete mux solutions; three-state outputs prevent signal contention during channel changes. |
Use Scenario: Flight data recorders collect telemetry from redundant sensor sets across avionics bays under extreme thermal conditions. IC Role / Device Role: Signal selector consolidates sensor outputs before digitization, operating reliably from -55°C to +125°C. Use Value: Extended temperature rating and low ICC ensure uninterrupted operation in unheated compartments without derating. |
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Medical Instrument Multiplexing |
|
Use Scenario: Programmable logic controllers add modular analog/digital input cards requiring flexible signal routing to central processing units. IC Role / Device Role: Bus-compatible multiplexer interfaces field sensors to backplane data lanes with controlled enable timing. Use Value: Independent OE pins allow synchronized release of multiple mux outputs onto shared bus, avoiding glitches. |
Use Scenario: Portable diagnostic devices sample ECG, SpO₂, and temperature channels sequentially using one precision ADC. IC Role / Device Role: Low-leakage (<±1µA), rail-to-rail multiplexer preserves signal integrity for high-impedance biopotential sources. Use Value: CMOS input structure minimizes loading on sensitive front-end amplifiers; 46pF CPD limits dynamic power in battery-powered units. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 4-to-1 multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC153DR | Same pinout, identical function, TI-manufactured HC variant; slightly higher ICC (200µA max) and lower noise immunity (20% of VCC) | Valid for commercial-temp designs (–40°C to +85°C); not rated for –55°C operation | Select SN74HC153DR only if operating temperature stays above –40°C and layout reuse is critical. |
| MC74HC253ADR2G | Onsemi part with identical logic function and pinout; wider VCC range (2V–6.5V); higher max output current (±35mA vs ±25mA) | Better suited for driving heavier capacitive loads or longer traces; same –55°C to +125°C rating | Choose MC74HC253ADR2G when driving >50pF loads or requiring margin on output drive capability. |
Compared with CD74HC253M, SN74HC153DR trades extended temperature support for broader commercial availability, while MC74HC253ADR2G offers enhanced drive strength and voltage margin without altering footprint or logic behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for CD74HC253M?
The absolute maximum DC supply voltage for CD74HC253M is 7V, but the recommended operating range is 2V to 6V per the datasheet. Operation at 6V yields optimal speed (30ns propagation delay) and noise immunity, while maintaining compatibility with both 3.3V and 5V system rails. Exceeding 6V risks accelerated aging and violates the specified functional range.
Does CD74HC253M support true three-state outputs?
Yes, CD74HC253M provides true three-state outputs on pins 1Y and 2Y. When either 1OE or 2OE is driven HIGH, the corresponding output enters high-impedance mode with leakage current ≤±10µA over full temperature range. This allows safe connection to shared buses without external pull-ups or contention protection circuitry.
Can CD74HC253M operate at -55°C?
Yes, CD74HC253M is fully specified and tested for operation from -55°C to +125°C. All key parameters-including propagation delay, output drive, and input thresholds-are guaranteed across this extended industrial temperature range, making it suitable for aerospace, downhole, and military applications where ambient extremes occur.
What is the input capacitance of CD74HC253M?
The input capacitance (CI) of CD74HC253M is 10pF maximum per input pin, consistent across all operating conditions and temperatures. This low value minimizes loading on upstream drivers and supports clean signal integrity in high-speed digital routing, especially important when cascading multiple logic stages or driving long PCB traces.
Is CD74HC253M pin-compatible with CD74HCT253M?
Yes, CD74HC253M and CD74HCT253M share identical pinout, package (16-pin SOIC), and functional block diagram. However, they differ in input threshold compatibility: CD74HC253M uses CMOS thresholds (VIH = 3.15V min @4.5V), while CD74HCT253M matches LSTTL inputs (VIH = 2V min). Swapping requires verifying upstream driver compatibility.
