Product details
Overview
CY74FCT157CTDR from Texas Instruments is a quad 2-input multiplexer IC with 3-state outputs, designed for data routing in TTL- and CMOS-compatible digital systems. It features 4.3 ns propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), ±32 mA output drive capability, and operates across –40°C to +85°C. Used in bus multiplexing, function generation, and register-to-bus data selection in industrial control and embedded logic.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT157CTDR datasheet, CY74FCT157CTDR pinout, CY74FCT157CTDR application, or CY74FCT157CTDR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3-state enable control (active-low E), matched rise/fall times, Ioff partial-power-down support, and SOIC-16 package compatibility with legacy FCT logic families.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT157CTDR implements four independent 2:1 multiplexers sharing one common select (S) and one active-low enable (E) input. 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 edge-rate control circuitry limits slew rate to reduce switching noise, while Ioff protection disables outputs during power-down to prevent backflow current. Input thresholds are TTL-compatible (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V), and VOH/VOL meet 5-V CMOS levels (VOH = 3.3 V typ, VOL = 0.55 V max at 64 mA sink).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay | 4.3 ns max (tPLH/tPHL, VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF) - enables high-speed bus arbitration in real-time control systems |
| Output Drive | ±32 mA (IOH/–IOL) - supports direct fanout to 10+ TTL loads or driving moderate-capacitance PCB traces |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75–5.25 V - tight 5-V tolerance ensures stable operation under noisy industrial rail conditions |
| Ioff Protection | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V - blocks reverse current during hot-insertion or partial power-down sequences |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) - interoperates with legacy 74LS/ALS logic without level shifters |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for assembly and field operation |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended-temperature industrial and automotive under-hood applications |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOIC-16 (D package, 7.5 mm × 10.3 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch). Pinout validated per TI datasheet SCCS014B Figure 1 (top view).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (E) | Active-low output enable | Drives all Y outputs to high-impedance when high; required for bus isolation in shared-data-path systems |
| 2 (S) | Common data select | Controls source selection (I0x or I1x) across all four channels simultaneously - simplifies control logic |
| 3–4, 5–6, 10–11, 13–14 (I0a–I0d, I1a–I1d) | Data inputs (two groups) | Accepts parallel 4-bit data from two sources (e.g., CPU ALU and memory bus); no internal latching |
| 7 (Ya), 9 (Yb), 12 (Yc), 15 (Yd) | Noninverted 3-state outputs | Deliver selected data with rail-to-rail swing; high-Z state eliminates bus contention when disabled |
| 8 (GND), 16 (VCC) | Power terminals | Single 5-V supply; decoupling capacitor placement near Pin 16 critical for noise suppression due to fast edge rates |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Edge-rate controlled outputs | Reduces simultaneous switching noise (SSN) by limiting dv/dt - improves signal integrity in dense PCB layouts |
| Matched rise/fall times | Ensures symmetrical waveform edges (tPLH ≈ tPHL), minimizing duty-cycle distortion in clock/data paths |
| Partial-power-down support (Ioff) | Prevents destructive back-current flow when VCC = 0 V and bus voltages remain present - essential for hot-swap designs |
| 3.3-V-typical VOH | Guarantees clean high-level interface to mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 5-V logic driving 3.3-V receivers via series resistor) |
| Function generator capability | Each multiplexer implements one of 16 2-variable Boolean functions - reduces gate count in custom combinatorial logic |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Multiplexing | Legacy Bus Arbitration |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Routing sensor data from dual analog front-end channels to a single ADC interface in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad 2:1 selector synchronizing four analog channel pairs under microcontroller S/E control.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 2:1 multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT157D | Same SOIC-16 pinout, identical logic function, but rated for 4.5–5.5 V supply and 32 mA drive only (no 64 mA variant) | Limited to commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C); lacks Ioff and enhanced ESD ratings | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs industrial temp or partial-power-down requirements |
| 74AC157N | CMOS technology, 2.0–6.0 V supply, 24 mA drive, 6 ns max delay - no Ioff or edge-rate control | Higher static current (ICC = 4 µA typ vs. 0.2 mA for CY74FCT157CTDR); not TTL-input compatible | Choose for wider voltage flexibility and lower quiescent power where noise immunity is secondary |
Compared with SN74FCT157D and 74AC157N, the CY74FCT157CTDR delivers superior noise immunity via edge-rate control, guaranteed industrial temperature operation, and robust Ioff protection - making it optimal for mission-critical embedded control where signal integrity and power sequencing reliability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum propagation delay of the CY74FCT157CTDR at 5 V?
The CY74FCT157CTDR has a maximum propagation delay of 4.3 ns (tPLH and tPHL) under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.75–5.25 V, CL = 50 pF, TA = –40°C to +85°C). This value is specified for the fastest speed grade (C suffix) and applies to both input-to-output (I→Y) and enable-to-output (E→Y) transitions per the TI datasheet SCCS014B.
Does the CY74FCT157CTDR support partial-power-down operation?
Yes, the CY74FCT157CTDR includes Ioff circuitry that disables outputs and limits reverse current to ±1 µA when VCC = 0 V - enabling safe partial-power-down operation in systems with mixed-voltage domains or hot-swap capability. This feature is explicitly verified in the electrical characteristics table of the official TI datasheet.
Is the CY74FCT157CTDR pin-compatible with older 74LS157 devices?
No, the CY74FCT157CTDR is not pin-compatible with 74LS157. While both are quad 2:1 multiplexers, the CY74FCT157CTDR uses a different pin assignment: E (enable) is on Pin 1, S (select) on Pin 2, and outputs Ya–Yd occupy Pins 7, 9, 12, and 15 - whereas 74LS157 places G (enable) on Pin 1 and outputs on Pins 3, 4, 10, and 11. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign.
What is the output drive strength of the CY74FCT157CTDR?
The CY74FCT157CTDR provides ±32 mA output drive: –32 mA source current (IOH) and +64 mA sink current (IOL) at VCC = 4.75 V. This allows direct interfacing with multiple TTL loads or driving moderate capacitive loads (up to ~30 pF) without external buffers, as confirmed in the "Electrical Characteristics" section of TI's SCCS014B datasheet.
Can the CY74FCT157CTDR be used in function generator applications?
Yes, the CY74FCT157CTDR can implement any of the 16 possible 2-variable Boolean functions (e.g., AND, OR, XOR, NAND) by configuring inputs I0x/I1x and select S - as documented in its functional description and truth table. Its matched rise/fall times and low propagation skew ensure accurate waveform synthesis in hardware-based logic generators.
