Product details
Overview
CLVC157AQPWRG4Q1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-qualified quadruple 2-line to 1-line data selector/multiplexer operating from 2 V to 3.6 V, with 5.4 ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V, 5.5 V-tolerant inputs, and active-low output strobe (G). It routes four independent 2:1 data paths in vehicle infotainment and ADAS domain controllers.
For engineers reviewing the CLVC157AQPWRG4Q1 datasheet, CLVC157AQPWRG4Q1 pinout, CLVC157AQPWRG4Q1 application, or CLVC157AQPWRG4Q1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (-40°C to +125°C), 16-pin TSSOP package, 3.6 V absolute maximum supply rating, and compatibility with mixed-voltage 3.3 V/5 V system interfacing.
Technical Context
The CLVC157AQPWRG4Q1 implements four independent 2:1 multiplexers sharing a common address select (A/B) and active-low strobe (G) input. When G is high, all outputs (1Y–4Y) are forced low regardless of A/B or data inputs; when G is low, each Y output reflects the selected input (A or B) per channel.
It uses LVC logic family characteristics: TTL-compatible thresholds at 3.3 V, 5.5 V-tolerant inputs enabling direct connection to legacy 5 V logic, and ground bounce (VOLP) < 0.8 V and undershoot (VOHV) > 2 V at VCC = 3.3 V, ensuring signal integrity in noisy automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 3.6 V - supports standard 3.3 V rail and low-power operation down to 2 V without level-shifting. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 5.4 ns at 3.3 V - enables use in high-speed digital control paths with tight timing budgets. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows direct interface with 5 V microcontrollers or sensors without external level shifters. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for under-hood and cockpit electronics. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±2000 V - exceeds MIL-STD-883 Method 3015, suitable for assembly and field environments with moderate ESD risk. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at 3 V - sufficient to drive multiple CMOS loads or short PCB traces without buffering. |
| Power Dissipation Cap | 16 pF typical Cpd at 3.3 V - contributes to low dynamic power in battery-sensitive applications. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 (PW) package: 5.00 mm × 6.4 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.2 mm max height, thermal pad not present - compatible with standard surface-mount reflow profiles and automated optical inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Active-low output enable | Strobes all four outputs low when high; required for synchronized channel disable in safety-critical logic. |
| 2–3, 5–6, 10–11, 13–14 (1A/1B, 2A/2B, 3A/3B, 4A/4B) | Data inputs | Eight total inputs grouped as four independent 2:1 pairs; each pair selects one source per channel. |
| 4, 7, 9, 12 (1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y) | Outputs | Four buffered, non-inverting outputs - no internal inversion; fan-out limited by IOL/IOH specs. |
| 8 (GND) | Ground reference | Single ground pin - requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor adjacent to Pin 16 (VCC) for noise suppression. |
| 15 (A/B) | Address select | Common select line for all four channels - simplifies control logic but prevents independent channel selection. |
| 16 (VCC) | Positive supply | Primary power pin - must be decoupled; no secondary VCC pins or split-rail support. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC157AQPWRQ1 | No G4 suffix; identical electrical specs and pinout, but RoHS-compliant finish uses NiPdAu instead of NiPdAu/NiPdAu with matte tin over nickel. | Same automotive qualification and thermal performance; differs only in plating specification for solderability and long-term storage stability. | Select CLVC157AQPWRG4Q1 when lead-free matte tin finish with guaranteed 12-month shelf life under controlled humidity is required. |
| SN74LVC157ADRQ1 | SOIC-16 package (9.9 mm × 6 mm); higher RθJA (118.1°C/W vs. 150.8°C/W for TSSOP); same logic function and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating. | Better thermal margin in low-airflow enclosures; larger footprint limits high-density routing in compact ECUs. | Choose SN74LVC157ADRQ1 for legacy board designs requiring SOIC compatibility or where thermal dissipation outweighs space constraints. |
Compared with SN74LVC157AQPWRQ1, CLVC157AQPWRG4Q1 offers enhanced solder joint reliability via G4 matte tin plating; versus SN74LVC157ADRQ1, it trades thermal resistance for 35% smaller PCB area - critical for next-gen zonal architecture ECUs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for CLVC157AQPWRG4Q1?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) for CLVC157AQPWRG4Q1 is 6.5 V, but recommended operation is strictly 2 V to 3.6 V per the datasheet. Exceeding 3.6 V risks violating recommended operating conditions and may impact long-term reliability, especially under automotive temperature extremes. CLVC157AQPWRG4Q1 must not be operated above 3.6 V in production systems.
Does CLVC157AQPWRG4Q1 support independent channel selection?
No. CLVC157AQPWRG4Q1 uses a single A/B select line shared across all four 2:1 multiplexer channels, meaning all channels switch simultaneously between their respective A and B inputs. Independent selection would require four separate 2:1 mux ICs or a different architecture such as the SN74LVC1G157. CLVC157AQPWRG4Q1 is designed for coordinated data routing, not per-channel arbitration.
Can CLVC157AQPWRG4Q1 interface directly with 5 V logic outputs?
Yes. CLVC157AQPWRG4Q1 inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, allowing direct connection to 5 V CMOS or TTL outputs without level-shifting circuitry. This capability is explicitly verified in the datasheet's Recommended Operating Conditions table and enables mixed-voltage system integration. CLVC157AQPWRG4Q1 maintains correct logic interpretation and does not require external clamping diodes.
What is the function of the G pin on CLVC157AQPWRG4Q1?
The G pin is an active-low output strobe: when high, all four outputs (1Y–4Y) are forced low irrespective of A/B state or input values; when low, the device operates normally, routing selected inputs to outputs. This provides synchronous disable capability for fail-safe behavior in automotive systems. CLVC157AQPWRG4Q1 relies on G for hardware-level output blanking during reset or fault conditions.
Is CLVC157AQPWRG4Q1 pin-compatible with non-automotive SN74LVC157A variants?
Yes - CLVC157AQPWRG4Q1 shares identical pinout, electrical behavior, and logic function with catalog SN74LVC157A and enhanced product SN74LVC157A-EP in the same TSSOP-16 package. Differences are limited to qualification level (AEC-Q100 Grade 1), screening, and traceability documentation. CLVC157AQPWRG4Q1 can be substituted in non-automotive designs if automotive qualification is not required, though part marking and packaging differ.
