Product details
Overview
CD74HCT154M from Texas Instruments is a 4-to-16-line decoder/demultiplexer with dual enable inputs (E1, E2), operating at 4.5V–5.5V, supporting -55°C to +125°C industrial/military temperature range, with 35 ns typical propagation delay (CL = 50 pF, VCC = 4.5 V), and designed for address decoding in microprocessor systems and memory expansion.
For engineers reviewing the CD74HCT154M datasheet, CD74HCT154M pinout, CD74HCT154M application, or CD74HCT154M equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, SOIC-24 package mapping, truth-table–driven output behavior, LSTTL-compatible input thresholds, and validated alternatives for high-reliability decoding tasks.
Technical Context
The CD74HCT154M implements active-low 4-bit binary decoding: inputs A0–A3 select one of sixteen Y0–Y15 outputs, while E1 and E2 must both be low for valid decode operation; a high on either enable forces all outputs high. Its HCT logic family ensures direct compatibility with LSTTL voltage levels (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) at 5 V supply.
It features balanced propagation delays across all paths (address-to-output, E1-to-output, E2-to-output), 10 LSTTL fanout capability, and CMOS-level quiescent current (ICC ≤ 160 µA over full temperature range), enabling stable operation in noise-sensitive embedded control and data acquisition subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | 4-to-16 line decoder/demultiplexer with dual active-low enables |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures interoperability with standard 5 V TTL/LSTTL systems |
| Propagation Delay (A→Y) | 35 ns typ @ VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF - supports ≤20 MHz address strobe rates in bus decoding |
| Input Thresholds | VIH(min) = 2.0 V, VIL(max) = 0.8 V - guarantees reliable logic-level translation from legacy LSTTL sources |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for aerospace, defense, and under-hood automotive applications |
| Fanout Capability | 10 LSTTL loads - drives multiple downstream logic gates without buffering |

Pinout & Package
CD74HCT154M is housed in a 24-pin SOIC (DW) package with 0.300-inch body width, JEDEC MS-013 compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1, and lead finish NiPdAu/Sn.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | A0, A1, A2, A3 | 4-bit binary address inputs - determine which of Y0–Y15 is asserted low during decode |
| 5, 6 | E1, E2 | Active-low enable inputs - both must be low for decoding; either high disables all outputs (Y0–Y15 = high) |
| 7–10, 19–22 | Y0–Y15 | 16 decoded outputs - active-low, open-drain compatible via external pull-up; only one low per valid input combination |
| 12 | GND | Ground reference - common return for all internal logic and output drivers |
| 24 | VCC | Positive supply - powers internal CMOS circuitry; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor |
Key Features

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT154DR | Same logic function, identical pinout, same SOIC-24 package, but TI's newer production version with updated process and RoHS compliance. | No functional change; suitable for new designs requiring latest qualification and longer-term availability. | Select SN74HCT154DR for new designs where long-term supply assurance and modern manufacturing traceability are required. |
| MC74HCT154ADR2G | Pin-compatible 4-to-16 decoder from ON Semiconductor; VIH/VIL thresholds match HCT spec, but max ICC = 200 µA (vs. 160 µA for CD74HCT154M). | Slightly higher quiescent current may impact low-power systems; otherwise drop-in usable in non-critical thermal designs. | Choose MC74HCT154ADR2G only if dual-sourcing is mandated and thermal margin exceeds 20%. |
Compared with CD74HCT154M, SN74HCT154DR offers enhanced lifecycle support and identical electrical behavior, while MC74HCT154ADR2G provides second-source flexibility at the cost of marginally higher static power - critical for battery-operated or thermally constrained deployments.

FAQ
What is the logic function of the CD74HCT154M?
The CD74HCT154M is a 4-to-16 line decoder/demultiplexer with two active-low enable inputs (E1 and E2). When both enables are low, it decodes the 4-bit binary input (A0–A3) to assert exactly one of sixteen outputs (Y0–Y15) low; any high enable forces all outputs high. This behavior is defined in the device's truth table and supports address selection and signal routing in digital systems.
Does the CD74HCT154M require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
Yes, the CD74HCT154M outputs are active-low and not internally pulled up. Each Y0–Y15 output must be terminated with an external pull-up resistor (typically 1–10 kΩ to VCC) to ensure defined high-state voltage when inactive. This configuration allows flexible interfacing with varied load types and voltage domains, consistent with standard TTL/CMOS open-collector practices.
Can the CD74HCT154M operate at 3.3 V supply?
No, the CD74HCT154M is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. Its HCT logic family is optimized for 5 V LSTTL compatibility, with input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and output drive characteristics validated exclusively within that range. Operation at 3.3 V is outside datasheet limits and may result in unreliable switching or excessive ICC.
What is the maximum clock/data rate supported by the CD74HCT154M?
The CD74HCT154M does not operate on a clock; it is combinational logic. Its speed is governed by propagation delay: 35 ns typical (4.5 V, CL = 50 pF) from address or enable input to output transition. This supports reliable operation with address strobes up to ~20 MHz in synchronous systems, assuming setup/hold timing margins are maintained per application layout.
Is the CD74HCT154M pin-compatible with the CD74HC154M?
Yes, the CD74HCT154M and CD74HC154M share identical pinout, package (SOIC-24), and functional block diagram. However, they differ in supply range (HC: 2–6 V; HCT: 4.5–5.5 V) and input thresholds (HC: CMOS-compatible; HCT: LSTTL-compatible). Interchangeability requires matching supply and source logic family - mixing them risks incorrect logic interpretation or increased power draw.
