Product details
Overview
CD74HCT158E from Texas Instruments is a quad 2-input inverting multiplexer IC used for data routing and function generation in digital logic systems. It features active-low Enable (E), common Select (S), 16-pin PDIP package, -55°C to +125°C operating temperature, and TTL-compatible inputs (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V).
For engineers reviewing the CD74HCT158E datasheet, CD74HCT158E pinout, CD74HCT158E application, or CD74HCT158E equivalent, key selection criteria include its inverting output behavior, guaranteed LSTTL compatibility, wide temperature range, low quiescent current (≤160 µA), and propagation delay of 28–42 ns (VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF).
Technical Context
The CD74HCT158E implements four independent 2:1 multiplexers with inverted outputs (1Y–4Y), where E = HIGH forces all outputs HIGH regardless of S or data inputs. Its HCT logic family ensures direct interface with legacy LSTTL outputs while maintaining CMOS power efficiency.
Input thresholds are fixed for TTL compatibility (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), and output drive capability supports up to 10 LSTTL loads. Propagation delays are characterized across full military temperature range (-55°C to +125°C) with CL = 50 pF load, and input capacitance is specified at 10 pF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | HCT - TTL-compatible CMOS, enables direct replacement of 74LS158 without level-shifting. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - matches standard 5 V TTL/CMOS systems; no external regulation needed. |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for aerospace, industrial control, and under-hood automotive applications. |
| Propagation Delay (Data→Output) | 28–42 ns @ 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF - ensures timing predictability in synchronous bus multiplexing. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±4 mA @ VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive 10 LSTTL loads, supporting fanout-critical backplane designs. |
| Input Leakage Current | ≤ ±1 µA @ -55°C to +125°C - minimizes unintended switching in high-impedance or battery-backed circuits. |
| Power Dissipation Capacitance | 35 pF - enables accurate dynamic power estimation using PD = VCC² × f × (CPD + CL). |
Pinout & Package
CD74HCT158E uses a 16-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-N), 0.3-inch width, with standard through-hole mounting and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, 13 | Data Inputs (1I0, 1I1, 2I0, 2I1, 3I0, 3I1, 4I0, 4I1) | Eight independent data inputs grouped into four 2-input pairs; each pair feeds one multiplexer channel. |
| 3 | Select Input (S) | Common control line determining which input (I0 or I1) is routed to output per channel; active-HIGH selection. |
| 6 | Enable Input (E) | Active-LOW global enable; when HIGH, all outputs forced HIGH (inverting behavior). |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for logic and power; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 8 | VCC | Positive supply (4.5–5.5 V); decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required adjacent to pin. |
| 11, 14, 15, 16 | Inverted Outputs (1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y) | Four buffered, inverted outputs - Y = NOT[(S·I1) + (NOT S·I0)] when E = LOW. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inverting multiplexer architecture | Outputs go HIGH when Enable is HIGH - simplifies active-HIGH reset or disable logic in bus arbitration. |
| Direct LSTTL input compatibility | Accepts standard TTL voltage levels (0.8 V/2.0 V thresholds) without external biasing or level shifters. |
| Wide temperature operation | Validated from -55°C to +125°C - eliminates derating calculations for harsh-environment deployments. |
| Low dynamic power consumption | CPD = 35 pF enables sub-mW operation at 1 MHz with 50 pF load - critical for thermally constrained modules. |
| Buffered inputs and outputs | Prevents loading effects between cascaded stages and maintains signal integrity across PCB traces. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Multiplexing | Automotive Sensor Data Routing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Consolidating discrete sensor inputs (e.g., temperature, pressure, position) onto shared microcontroller ADC channels via time-division sampling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad 2:1 inverting multiplexer selects among two sensor groups per cycle; Enable synchronizes with ADC conversion trigger.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Data selector controlled by ECU health status bits; Select line chooses primary vs. backup signal path. Use Value: Enables fail-operational behavior without FPGA or microcontroller intervention; -55°C to +125°C rating supports engine bay placement. |
| Legacy System Bus Interface | Test Equipment Signal Switching |
Use Scenario: Adapting vintage 74LS-based control logic to modern 5 V CMOS processors by bridging voltage and timing domains. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-translating multiplexer replacing obsolete 74LS158; identical pinout and DC specs ensure drop-in replacement. Use Value: Eliminates redesign of PCBs and firmware; HCT's 28 ns max delay meets original LS timing budgets. | Use Scenario: Automated test fixtures requiring programmable routing of stimulus signals to DUT pins under microcontroller control.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT158N | Same HCT logic family, identical pinout, 4.5–5.5 V supply, but rated only for -40°C to +85°C industrial range. | Limited to commercial/industrial environments; not suitable for extended temperature or military use. | Choose SN74HCT158N only if ambient operating temperature stays within -40°C to +85°C and MIL-STD-883 qualification is unnecessary. |
| CD74HC158E | Same package and pinout, but HC family: 2–6 V supply, higher noise immunity (30% VCC), no TTL input compatibility. | Requires level-shifting when interfacing with legacy TTL; unsuitable for direct 74LS replacement. | Select CD74HC158E only when system uses mixed-voltage rails or prioritizes ultra-low static power over TTL interoperability. |
Compared with SN74HCT158N, CD74HCT158E offers extended temperature support and military-grade reliability; compared with CD74HC158E, it guarantees seamless integration with existing LSTTL logic without redesigning input networks.

FAQ
What is the logic function implemented by CD74HCT158E?
The CD74HCT158E implements four independent 2:1 inverting multiplexers. Each output Y equals NOT[(S·I1) + (NOT S·I0)] when Enable (E) is LOW; when E is HIGH, all outputs are forced HIGH. This differs from the non-inverting CD74HCT157E, making CD74HCT158E ideal for active-HIGH disable schemes and inverted bus control.
Does CD74HCT158E support 3.3 V operation?
No, CD74HCT158E does not support 3.3 V operation. Its HCT family specification mandates a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. For 3.3 V systems, consider logic-level translation or alternative families such as SN74LVC158A, which operates from 1.65 V to 3.6 V and provides compatible functionality.
Is CD74HCT158E pin-compatible with 74LS158?
Yes, CD74HCT158E is pin-compatible and electrically compatible with 74LS158. It uses the same 16-pin PDIP footprint, matches TTL input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V), and delivers equivalent output drive (±4 mA), enabling direct replacement without PCB or schematic changes.
What is the maximum clock/data frequency supported by CD74HCT158E?
CD74HCT158E does not operate on a clock; it is combinational logic. Its usable data rate depends on propagation delay and load. With CL = 50 pF and VCC = 4.5 V, tPLH/tPHL is 28–42 ns, supporting reliable operation up to ~12 MHz in worst-case routing scenarios. For higher speeds, verify setup/hold margins against driving source characteristics.
How is the Enable (E) pin used in CD74HCT158E?
The Enable (E) pin on CD74HCT158E is active-LOW. When E = LOW, the device functions normally: outputs reflect selected inverted inputs. When E = HIGH, all four outputs (1Y–4Y) are forced HIGH regardless of Select (S) or data inputs - providing a hardware-global disable function useful for bus contention avoidance or power sequencing.
