Product details
Overview
CY74FCT157ATSOC from Texas Instruments is a quad 2-input multiplexer with 3-state outputs, designed for data routing and function generation in TTL- and FCT-compatible digital systems. It features 16-pin SOIC (DW) packaging, 5 ns maximum propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), ±32 mA output drive capability, and Ioff support for partial-power-down operation. It is commonly used in register-to-bus data selection and irregular logic synthesis.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT157ATSOC datasheet, CY74FCT157ATSOC pinout, CY74FCT157ATSOC application, or CY74FCT157ATSOC equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5 ns speed grade, 3.3 V typical VOH, 0.55 V max VOL at 64 mA sink, Ioff-enabled power-down isolation, and compatibility with both TTL and FCT logic families.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT157ATSOC implements four independent 2:1 multiplexers sharing a common select (S) and active-low enable (E) control. Each Y output reflects I0a–I0d or I1a–I1d based on S state when E is low; all outputs go high-impedance when E is high.
Its architecture includes edge-rate control circuitry to reduce switching noise, matched rise/fall times for clean signal transitions, and input thresholds compatible with TTL (VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) and CMOS logic levels. Ioff protection disables outputs and blocks current flow when VCC = 0 V, enabling safe hot-insertion and partial-power-down modes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay | Max 5 ns (tPLH/tPHL, I→Y), enabling 200 MHz worst-case toggle rate in critical paths |
| Output Drive | ±32 mA (IOH/IOL), sufficient to directly drive multiple TTL loads or terminate short PCB traces |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75–5.25 V, tightly regulated range ensuring stable timing and noise immunity in industrial 5 V rails |
| Ioff Current | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow damage during system power sequencing |
| Input Thresholds | VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V - fully interoperable with legacy TTL and modern FCT logic without level-shifting |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - exceeds JEDEC JESD22 standards for robust board handling |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C, qualified for commercial/industrial ambient environments without derating |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin SOIC (DW), 7.5 mm × 10.3 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1 (260°C reflow unlimited).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (E) | Active-low output enable | Drives all Y outputs to high-impedance when high; enables multiplexing only when low |
| 2 (S) | Common data select | Controls source selection across all four channels: S = L → I0x, S = H → I1x |
| 3 (I0a) | Data input A, source 0 | First bit of lower-source group; routed to Ya when S = L and E = L |
| 4 (I1a) | Data input A, source 1 | First bit of upper-source group; routed to Ya when S = H and E = L |
| 5 (Ya) | Noninverted output A | 3-state output reflecting selected I0a/I1a; high-Z when E = H |

| 7 (I1b) | Data input B, source 1 | Second bit of upper-source group; routed to Yb under same S/E conditions as I1a |
| 8 (Yb) | Noninverted output B | 3-state output for channel B; electrically identical to Ya in timing and drive |
| 9 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output currents; must be low-impedance |

|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Selecting between two 4-bit register banks (e.g., accumulator vs. temporary storage) for write-back to a common ALU input bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad 2:1 mux acting as a synchronous data selector; S controls bank choice, E gates bus access.

|
Use Scenario: Implementing custom combinational logic (e.g., parity check, nibble swap, or arithmetic flag decoding) using minimal gate count. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Used as a 4-output truth table generator; I0x/I1x represent minterm inputs, S selects function variant. Use Value: Replaces up to 16 NAND/NOR gates; supports any 4 of 16 2-variable Boolean functions with one device. |

Use Value: Maintains full 5 V logic compatibility while adding noise immunity and hot-swap safety via Ioff. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY74FCT157CTSOC | 4.3 ns max propagation delay (vs. 5 ns); 12 mA/32 mA drive (vs. 32 mA/64 mA) | Higher-speed, lower-drive variant; suitable where timing margin is tight but load current ≤32 mA | Select CY74FCT157CTSOC when system clock >230 MHz or fanout is light; CY74FCT157ATSOC preferred for heavy TTL loads. |
| SN74F157N | 74F-family; 4.5 ns max delay; 20 mA/0.4 mA drive; no Ioff or edge-rate control | Lacks partial-power-down and noise-reduction features; not suitable for mixed-power-domain systems | Choose SN74F157N only in legacy 74F-only designs; avoid where Ioff or EMI control is required. |
Compared with CY74FCT157CTSOC and SN74F157N, the CY74FCT157ATSOC delivers optimal balance of speed (5 ns), drive strength (64 mA sink), and system-level robustness (Ioff, edge-rate control), making it the preferred choice for new industrial and embedded designs requiring reliability and interoperability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the CY74FCT157ATSOC?
The CY74FCT157ATSOC is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial-grade thermal requirements. This range is validated per TI's production test flow and applies to the SOIC (DW) package configuration shipped in tube format. Derating is not required within this span, and thermal impedance (θJA = 57°C/W) supports sustained operation under typical PCB copper pour conditions.
Does the CY74FCT157ATSOC support partial-power-down operation?
Yes, the CY74FCT157ATSOC includes Ioff circuitry that actively disables outputs and limits reverse current to ±1 µA when VCC = 0 V. This feature allows safe insertion into live backplanes or interconnection with unpowered subsystems - a key requirement in modular industrial controllers where boards may be hot-swapped or powered independently.
What is the output drive capability of the CY74FCT157ATSOC?
The CY74FCT157ATSOC provides ±32 mA output drive (IOH = –32 mA, IOL = 64 mA), verified at VCC = 4.75–5.25 V and TA = –40°C to +85°C. This enables direct driving of up to 10 standard TTL loads or termination of stubbed transmission lines up to 15 cm on FR-4, without external buffers - critical for compact industrial I/O modules.
How does the CY74FCT157ATSOC differ from the CY74FCT157CTSOC?
The CY74FCT157ATSOC has a 5 ns maximum propagation delay and higher drive (64 mA sink), while the CY74FCT157CTSOC offers 4.3 ns delay but lower sink current (32 mA). Both share identical pinout, package (SOIC-DW), and Ioff functionality. The "A" suffix denotes the faster drive grade; the "C" suffix indicates the faster timing grade - selection depends on whether system timing or load drive is the limiting factor.
Is the CY74FCT157ATSOC pin-compatible with older 74LS or 74F series multiplexers?
The CY74FCT157ATSOC is functionally and pin-compatible with 74LS157 and 74F157 in SOIC-16 (DW/D) packages, including identical pin assignments for E, S, I0x, I1x, and Yx. However, it adds Ioff, edge-rate control, and tighter VOH/VOL specs - meaning it can drop into legacy designs without layout change, while delivering improved noise immunity and power-down safety.
