Product details
Overview
CD74HCT157M96 from Texas Instruments is a quad 2-input non-inverting multiplexer IC operating at 4.5V–5.5V, featuring active-low enable (E), common select (S), and guaranteed 25mA output drive capability. It delivers 29ns max propagation delay (data-to-output, VCC = 4.5V, -40°C to +85°C), supports -55°C to +125°C operation, and is used in register-to-bus data routing and logic function generation.
For engineers reviewing the CD74HCT157M96 datasheet, CD74HCT157M96 pinout, CD74HCT157M96 application, or CD74HCT157M96 equivalent, key selection criteria include LSTTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8V, VIH ≥ 2.0V), SOIC-16 package compatibility, quad-channel 2:1 switching architecture, and industrial/military temperature range support.
Technical Context
The CD74HCT157M96 implements four independent 2:1 multiplexers sharing one Select (S) and one active-low Enable (E) control line. Its outputs (1Y–4Y) are forced low when E is high, regardless of S or data inputs - enabling clean bus isolation during disable.
It uses HCT-series CMOS technology with TTL-level input compatibility and rail-to-rail CMOS output swing. Propagation delays are balanced across channels (tPLH ≈ tPHL), and input transition times are specified for tr/tf = 6ns, ensuring predictable timing in synchronous digital systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | HCT - TTL-compatible inputs, CMOS outputs, 4.5V–5.5V supply |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial and military applications |
| Propagation Delay | 29ns max (data-to-output, CL = 50pF, VCC = 4.5V, -40°C to +85°C) - enables reliable 30+ MHz switching |
| Output Drive | ±25mA per output - sufficient to drive 10 LSTTL loads or directly interface with legacy logic |
| Input Thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8V (max), VIH ≥ 2.0V (min) at VCC = 4.5V–5.5V - ensures robust noise margin vs. standard TTL |
| Power Dissipation | CPD = 70pF - used to calculate dynamic power: PD = VCC² × fi × (CPD + CL) |
| Input Leakage | ±1µA max (VCC = 5.5V, -55°C to +125°C) - negligible loading on upstream drivers |

| 6 (2I1) | Channel 2 Input 1 | Second data source for multiplexer 2; shares S/E with all channels |
| 7 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for logic and output current; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 8 (2Y) | Channel 2 Output | Non-inverting output of multiplexer 2; matches timing and drive of 1Y |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Direct LSTTL input compatibility | VIL ≤ 0.8V and VIH ≥ 2.0V at VCC = 4.5V–5.5V - eliminates level-shifting in mixed-logic systems |
| Quad independent 2:1 multiplexing | Four matched channels sharing S/E - reduces component count vs. discrete gate solutions |
| Balanced propagation delay | tPLH and tPHL differ by ≤ 3ns (typical) - minimizes skew in parallel data paths |
| High noise immunity | NIL = NIH = 30% of VCC at VCC = 5V - suppresses EMI-induced glitches in noisy environments |
| Low quiescent current | ICC ≤ 160µA max (-55°C to +125°C) - suitable for low-power standby modes |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock/data frequency supported by CD74HCT157M96?
The CD74HCT157M96 does not operate on a clock signal - it is a combinational logic device. Its usable data switching rate is determined by propagation delay: with 29ns max tPLH/tPHL (VCC = 4.5V), it reliably supports input data transitions up to ~30 MHz in systems with adequate setup/hold margins. The device has no internal clock or latch functionality.
Does CD74HCT157M96 support 3.3V logic interfacing?
No - CD74HCT157M96 requires a 4.5V–5.5V supply and is not 3.3V tolerant. Its HCT inputs are designed for TTL-level compatibility (VIH ≥ 2.0V), but applying 3.3V signals directly to inputs while VCC = 5V is acceptable; however, driving it from a 3.3V-only system without level translation violates VIH min specification and risks unreliable operation. Use CD74HC157M96 for 2V–6V operation including 3.3V.
Is CD74HCT157M96 pin-compatible with CD74HC157M96?
Yes - CD74HCT157M96 and CD74HC157M96 share identical SOIC-16 pinout, terminal functions, and package dimensions. However, they differ in supply voltage range (HCT: 4.5–5.5V; HC: 2–6V) and input threshold behavior (HCT matches TTL, HC matches CMOS). Swapping them requires verifying VCC and input source compatibility.
What does the "M96" suffix indicate in CD74HCT157M96?
The "M96" suffix denotes a 16-pin SOIC (D) package supplied in tape-and-reel format with 2500 units per reel. "M" specifies the SOIC package type, and "96" is Texas Instruments' standard ordering code for large-volume tape-and-reel delivery - distinct from "MT" (small-reel, 250 units) or "E" (PDIP tube).
Can CD74HCT157M96 drive LEDs directly?
Yes - CD74HCT157M96 can sink or source up to 25mA per output, sufficient to drive standard 5mm through-hole LEDs (typically 10–20mA) with appropriate series resistors. For example, with VCC = 5V and a red LED (VF ≈ 1.8V), a 150Ω resistor limits current to ~21mA. Ensure total ICC remains within 50mA and thermal limits are observed during sustained operation.
