Product details
Overview
CD74HCT151E from Texas Instruments is a high-speed CMOS 8-input digital multiplexer with active-low enable (G), three binary select inputs (A, B, C), and complementary outputs (Y non-inverting, W inverting). It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supports -55°C to +125°C industrial/military temperature range, and delivers propagation delays as low as 12 ns (enable-to-Y, 4.5 V, 25°C). It is used in data routing, address decoding, and signal selection in embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the CD74HCT151E datasheet, CD74HCT151E pinout, CD74HCT151E application, or CD74HCT151E equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V), dual-output polarity support, guaranteed operation across extended temperature, and PDIP-16 packaging for through-hole prototyping and legacy board compatibility.
Technical Context
The CD74HCT151E implements a single 8:1 multiplexer function using standard CMOS process technology with TTL-level input stage design. Its internal logic decodes A/B/C select lines to route one of eight data inputs (D0–D7) to both Y (true) and W (inverted) outputs, while G enables or disables the output stage.
All inputs are buffered, ensuring consistent drive strength and noise immunity (NIL/NIH = 30% of VCC at 5 V). The device exhibits balanced propagation delay between select/data paths and outputs, with transition times under 22 ns (CL = 50 pF), enabling reliable timing in synchronous digital systems operating up to ~20 MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures direct drop-in replacement for 5 V LSTTL systems without level shifting. |
| Input Logic Compatibility | VIL ≤ 0.8 V (max), VIH ≥ 2.0 V (min) - guarantees robust interfacing with standard TTL outputs. |
| Propagation Delay (G→Y) | 12 ns (typ, 25°C, 4.5 V) - supports clock rates up to ~20 MHz in critical path routing. |
| Output Drive | ±4 mA (IOH/IOL) - sufficient to drive 10 LSTTL loads directly, eliminating need for buffer stages. |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for military, aerospace, and harsh-environment industrial applications. |
| Power Dissipation Cap | CPD = 58 pF - enables accurate dynamic power estimation (PD = VCC² × f × (CPD + CL)). |
Pinout & Package
CD74HCT151E is housed in a 16-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-N), with 19.31 mm × 6.35 mm body size and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is located at the left end of the top row (quadrant Q1), marked by a notch or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Active-low enable | Output disabled (high-impedance Y/W) when logic HIGH; required LOW to activate multiplexing. |
| 2–4 (D0–D2) | Data inputs | First three of eight parallel data sources selected based on A/B/C state. |
| 5 (C) | Select input (MSB) | Most significant bit of 3-bit binary address controlling channel selection (CBA). |
| 6 (B) | Select input | Mid-significance bit of channel address; combined with A and C to decode D0–D7. |
| 7 (A) | Select input (LSB) | Least significant bit; full 3-bit code determines which data input appears at Y/W. |
| 8 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and I/O; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 9 (D3) | Data input | Fourth data channel; routed to Y/W when CBA = 011. |
| 10 (D4) | Data input | Fifth data channel; selected when CBA = 100. |
| 11 (D5) | Data input | Sixth data channel; activated at CBA = 101. |
| 12 (D6) | Data input | Seventh data channel; enabled at CBA = 110. |
| 13 (D7) | Data input | Eighth and final data source; selected when CBA = 111. |
| 14 (W) | Inverted output | Complementary logic level of Y; eliminates need for external inverter in differential routing. |
| 15 (Y) | Non-inverting output | Main multiplexed output; reflects selected Dn value when G = LOW. |
| 16 (VCC) | Positive supply | 5 V ±0.5 V power rail; requires local 0.1 μF bypass capacitor per TI layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Complementary outputs (Y/W) | Provides true and inverted signals simultaneously-reduces component count in bus arbitration and parity generation. |
| Buffered inputs and outputs | Ensures stable logic thresholds and consistent fanout capability (10 LSTTL loads) across voltage/temperature. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | Eliminates external level-shifting circuitry when interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL logic families. |
| Extended temperature range | Validated operation from -55°C to +125°C supports deployment in avionics, downhole tools, and engine control units. |
| Low dynamic power consumption | CPD = 58 pF enables predictable power modeling in high-density logic designs without thermal derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-input multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT151N | Same logic function, pinout, and electrical specs; manufactured by TI with identical PDIP-16 package and marking. | No functional or mechanical difference; SN74HCT151N is TI's alternate orderable part number for same device. | Select SN74HCT151N if preferred TI prefix convention is required for BOM alignment or procurement policy. |
| MC74HCT151PG | Functionally identical 8:1 mux, but from ON Semiconductor; uses same PDIP-16 footprint and TTL-compatible inputs. | Identical operating range (-55°C to +125°C) and switching performance; minor differences in ICC max (160 μA vs. 160 μA) and CPD (58 pF vs. 59 pF). | Choose MC74HCT151PG for dual-sourcing strategy or where ON Semi's qualification documentation is mandated. |
Compared with SN74HCT151N and MC74HCT151PG, the CD74HCT151E offers identical multiplexing functionality and pin compatibility, but differs in part numbering convention and manufacturer-specific test flow-making it suitable for designs requiring TI's CDxx-series qualification pedigree and long-term military-grade availability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CD74HCT151E?
The CD74HCT151E does not operate on a clock signal-it is a combinational logic device. Its speed is defined by propagation delay: worst-case enable-to-Y delay is 44 ns at -55°C to +125°C (4.5 V). This supports reliable operation in systems with signal transitions up to ~10–15 MHz, assuming adequate setup/hold margins for control inputs A/B/C/G. The CD74HCT151E itself imposes no periodic timing constraint.
Can CD74HCT151E interface directly with 3.3 V microcontrollers?
No-CD74HCT151E requires 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply and has TTL-compatible inputs (VIH ≥ 2.0 V min), but its outputs swing rail-to-rail (0 V / VCC). Driving it from a 3.3 V MCU violates VIH minimum (2.0 V) only marginally, but output levels will be 5 V, risking damage to 3.3 V inputs. A level-shifter or buffer is required for safe bidirectional interfacing. The CD74HCT151E is intended for 5 V system domains.
Does CD74HCT151E have ESD protection diodes on its inputs?
Yes-the CD74HCT151E includes internal ESD protection diodes on all inputs and outputs, rated per JEDEC JS-001. Absolute maximum ratings specify ±20 mA input diode current (VI < –0.5 V or > VCC + 0.5 V). However, TI recommends handling with standard ESD precautions, as excessive ESD events can degrade performance. The CD74HCT151E is not latch-up immune under all conditions.
Is the CD74HCT151E RoHS compliant?
Yes-CD74HCT151E is RoHS compliant, with lead finish NIPDAU (nickel/palladium/gold) and exemption status confirmed in TI's official packaging addendum. It meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and subsequent amendments, including restrictions on lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE.
What is the purpose of the complementary W output on CD74HCT151E?
The W output provides the logical inverse of the Y output-enabling simultaneous access to true and complemented data without external inverters. This is valuable in applications like parity generation, differential bus driving, or logic minimization where both polarities are needed. For example, when Y = HIGH, W = LOW, and vice versa-both updated within 22 ns (max tt) under load.
