Product details
Overview
CD74HCT157M from Texas Instruments is a quad 2-input non-inverting multiplexer IC used for data routing in digital logic systems. It features active-low enable (E), common select (S), 4-bit parallel data selection, 4.5V–5.5V supply operation, and guaranteed LSTTL input compatibility (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V). It is commonly deployed in register-to-bus data transfer and combinational logic function generation.
For engineers reviewing the CD74HCT157M datasheet, CD74HCT157M pinout, CD74HCT157M application, or CD74HCT157M equivalent, key selection considerations include its HCT-family TTL-compatible inputs, -55°C to +125°C operating range, SOIC-16 package, propagation delay of 25–38 ns (at VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF), and low quiescent current (≤160 µA over full temperature range).
Technical Context
The CD74HCT157M implements four independent 2:1 multiplexers sharing one common Select (S) input and one active-low Enable (E) input. Each output (1Y–4Y) drives low when E is high, and selects between corresponding I0/I1 inputs based on S state when enabled.
It uses CMOS silicon-gate technology with HCT-level input thresholds, ensuring direct interface with legacy LSTTL outputs without level-shifting. Its balanced propagation delays (tPLH ≈ tPHL) and low output transition times (15–22 ns at 4.5 V) support clean timing in synchronous bus architectures.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 2-input multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT157DR | Same logic function, identical pinout, same HCT specs; TI second-source with identical SOIC-16 packaging and tape-and-reel (2500 pc) format | No functional or layout impact; fully interchangeable in existing designs using CD74HCT157M | Select when seeking alternate TI sourcing with identical form-fit-function and lifecycle support |
| MC74HCT157ADR2G | Pin-compatible but manufactured by ON Semiconductor; meets same HCT electrical specs (VIH/VIL, tPD, ICC), though propagation delay max is 40 ns (vs. 38 ns) | Suitable for non-critical timing paths; requires validation if operating near 20 MHz switching limits | Choose for multi-source procurement strategy where minor timing margin relaxation is acceptable |
Compared with SN74HCT157DR, CD74HCT157M offers identical performance and footprint but differs in part marking and internal lot traceability; versus MC74HCT157ADR2G, CD74HCT157M provides tighter propagation delay control critical for high-speed synchronous designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock/data toggle frequency supported by CD74HCT157M?
The CD74HCT157M does not operate on a clock; it is a combinational device. Its usable data switching frequency depends on propagation delay and system timing margins. With a maximum tPD of 38 ns (at VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF), CD74HCT157M supports reliable data routing up to approximately 20 MHz in well-designed paths with adequate setup/hold margins. Higher frequencies require careful PCB layout and load management.
Is CD74HCT157M pin-compatible with CD74HC157M?
Yes, CD74HCT157M is pin-compatible with CD74HC157M - both use identical SOIC-16 packaging and share the same pinout for E, S, I0/I1 inputs, and Y outputs. However, CD74HCT157M uses HCT input thresholds (TTL-compatible), while CD74HC157M uses HC thresholds (CMOS-compatible), so voltage-level interoperability must be verified per application.
Does CD74HCT157M support mixed-voltage operation (e.g., 3.3 V inputs with 5 V supply)?
No. CD74HCT157M is specified only for 4.5 V–5.5 V supply operation and requires input voltages compatible with TTL thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V). Applying 3.3 V logic signals directly may result in marginal or non-functional VIH recognition. For mixed-voltage systems, level translators or 3.3 V–tolerant variants like SN74LVC157A should be used instead of CD74HCT157M.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor value for CD74HCT157M?
A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VCC (pin 15) and GND (pin 7) pins is the standard recommendation for CD74HCT157M. This minimizes high-frequency supply noise and transient droop during output switching. For systems with heavy simultaneous switching or noisy environments, adding a bulk 4.7 µF–10 µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor nearby further stabilizes the local 5 V rail feeding CD74HCT157M.
Can CD74HCT157M be used in place of CD74HCT158M?
No. CD74HCT157M is a non-inverting quad 2:1 multiplexer, whereas CD74HCT158M is an inverting version - its outputs (1Y–4Y) are inverted relative to the selected input. Swapping them causes functional inversion errors unless compensated in upstream/downstream logic. The pinouts are identical, but logic behavior is fundamentally different; CD74HCT157M cannot serve as a drop-in replacement for CD74HCT158M.
