Product details
Overview
CY74FCT157CTQCT 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 4.3 ns propagation delay (max), ±32 mA output drive, Ioff partial-power-down support, and operates across –40°C to +85°C. Used in bus multiplexing, register-to-bus data selection, and irregular logic synthesis.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT157CTQCT datasheet, CY74FCT157CTQCT pinout, CY74FCT157CTQCT application, or CY74FCT157CTQCT equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state output control timing, sink/source current capability, Ioff-enabled power-down isolation, and SSOP-16 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT157CTQCT implements four independent 2:1 multiplexers sharing one common select (S) and active-low enable (E) input. Each channel routes either I0x or I1x to Yx based on S, with outputs disabled (high-impedance) when E is high.
Its FCT-family architecture delivers TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V), 3.3 V typical VOH at 5 V supply, matched rise/fall times, and edge-rate control circuitry to suppress switching noise. Ioff protection activates when VCC = 0 V, limiting backflow current to ±1 µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 4.3 ns max (at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF) - ensures tight timing margins in 100+ MHz system buses |
| Output Drive (IOL/IOH) | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source - drives heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs without buffering |
| Ioff Current | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging back-current during hot-insertion or partial power-down |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - tightly regulated 5 V operation compatible with legacy TTL and FCT logic rails |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - guarantees interoperability with standard TTL and CMOS logic families |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for commercial and industrial ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SSOP-16 (DBQ), 4.4 mm × 5.3 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU finish, MSL Level-2 (260°C, 1 year).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

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 | SOIC-16 (DW) package, same electrical specs, tube packaging (40 pcs), no moisture sensitivity restriction | Better suited for low-volume prototyping or manual assembly due to wider lead spacing and tube format | Select when board layout allows SOIC footprint and reflow profile doesn't require MSL-2 compliance |
| SN74FCT157CTSOCT | Same function and speed, but manufactured by TI under SN74 prefix; identical pinout and DC specs, minor AC variance (<0.2 ns) | Approved for use in TI-designated reference designs and automotive-qualified BOMs where SN74 branding is required | Choose when sourcing alignment with TI's standard logic portfolio or for qualification traceability in Tier-1 supply chains |
Compared with CY74FCT157CTQCT, the CY74FCT157CTSOC offers easier hand-soldering and no MSL constraints but occupies more PCB area, while the SN74FCT157CTSOCT provides identical functionality with TI's mainstream branding-making it preferable for design reuse and long-term documentation consistency.

FAQ
What is the maximum propagation delay of the CY74FCT157CTQCT at 5 V supply?
The CY74FCT157CTQCT has a maximum propagation delay of 4.3 ns (tPLH/tPHL) under recommended conditions (VCC = 4.75 V to 5.25 V, CL = 50 pF, TA = –40°C to +85°C). This value applies to both I→Y and S→Y paths and is measured with standard load and waveform definitions per the datasheet Figure 1 test setup.
Does the CY74FCT157CTQCT support partial power-down operation?
Yes, the CY74FCT157CTQCT supports partial power-down via its Ioff feature. When VCC = 0 V, the Ioff circuitry limits current flow through powered I/O pins to ±1 µA, preventing back-current damage during hot-swap or mixed-rail system operation. This behavior is fully characterized and guaranteed across temperature.
What package type is used for the CY74FCT157CTQCT?
The CY74FCT157CTQCT uses a 16-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with drawing code DBQ, measuring 4.4 mm × 5.3 mm with 0.65 mm lead pitch. It is RoHS-compliant with NIPDAU lead finish and rated MSL Level-2 (260°C, 1 year), requiring dry pack storage per JEDEC J-STD-020.
Can the CY74FCT157CTQCT drive standard TTL loads directly?
Yes, the CY74FCT157CTQCT is fully compatible with TTL input and output logic levels. Its VOH (min 2.4 V at IOH = –32 mA) and VOL (max 0.55 V at IOL = 64 mA) meet or exceed TTL specifications, and its VIH (2.0 V) and VIL (0.8 V) thresholds ensure reliable interfacing with legacy TTL devices without level shifters.
Is the CY74FCT157CTQCT pin-compatible with earlier FCT multiplexers?
Yes, the CY74FCT157CTQCT is functionally and pin-compatible with CY74FCT157T and CY54FCT157T in the same SSOP-16 package. It retains identical pinout, logic behavior, and DC/AC specifications-enabling direct replacement in existing designs while offering improved noise immunity via edge-rate control.
