Product details
Overview
CY74FCT157CTSOC from Texas Instruments is a quad 2-input multiplexer with 3-state outputs in SOIC-16 package, operating at 4.75–5.25 V, with 4.3 ns max propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), ±32 mA output drive, and Ioff support for partial-power-down mode. It selects four parallel data bits from two sources under a common select (S) and active-low enable (E), used in bus multiplexing and function generation in industrial control logic.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT157CTSOC datasheet, CY74FCT157CTSOC pinout, CY74FCT157CTSOC application, or CY74FCT157CTSOC equivalent, key selection criteria include its TTL-compatible input thresholds, 3.3 V typical VOH, matched rise/fall times, ESD robustness (2000-V HBM), and SOIC-16 footprint compatibility with legacy FCT logic families.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT157CTSOC implements four independent 2:1 multiplexers sharing one common select (S) and one active-low output-enable (E) input. Each channel routes either I0x or I1x to Yx based on S, with outputs forced low when E is high - enabling clean bus isolation.
It features edge-rate control circuitry to suppress switching noise, Ioff protection that disables outputs during power-down to prevent backflow current, and full TTL-level compatibility on both inputs and outputs - allowing seamless interfacing with legacy 5 V logic systems without level translation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.75–5.25 V - ensures stable operation across industrial 5 V rails with ±5% tolerance. |
| Propagation Delay (max) | 4.3 ns - enables high-speed data routing in synchronous bus architectures up to ~200 MHz toggle rate. |
| Output Drive | ±32 mA - supports direct driving of multiple TTL loads or termination-resistor networks without buffers. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - fully compatible with standard TTL logic levels for plug-in replacement. |
| Ioff Current | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging back-current during hot-insertion or partial power-down sequences. |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM - meets industrial-grade reliability requirements without external protection diodes. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended-temperature industrial and automotive under-hood applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 2-input multiplexer applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the CY74FCT157CTSOC?
The CY74FCT157CTSOC does not specify a maximum clock frequency, but its 4.3 ns propagation delay enables reliable operation in data paths with toggle rates up to approximately 200 MHz. System-level timing depends on load capacitance, trace routing, and input slew rate - design validation should verify setup/hold margins at the target frequency using the device's published tPLH/tPHL and tSU/tH values.
Does the CY74FCT157CTSOC support partial power-down mode?
Yes, the CY74FCT157CTSOC supports partial power-down mode via its Ioff feature. When VCC = 0 V, the Ioff circuitry limits input/output leakage to ±1 µA, preventing damaging back-current flow from live buses into the unpowered device - essential for hot-swap and mixed-rail system designs.
Is the CY74FCT157CTSOC pin-compatible with older 74F157 devices?
The CY74FCT157CTSOC is functionally and pin-compatible with the 74F157 and 74LS157 in SOIC-16 (DW) package, sharing identical pin assignments for E, S, I0x, I1x, and Yx signals. However, it adds Ioff, edge-rate control, and tighter VOH/VOL specs - no PCB changes are needed for drop-in replacement in most 5 V TTL systems.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for the CY74FCT157CTSOC VCC pin?
A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the CY74FCT157CTSOC VCC pin (Pin 10) and GND (Pin 9) is recommended to suppress high-frequency switching noise and maintain stable supply voltage during output transitions. For systems with heavy bus loading, adding a bulk 4.7 µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor nearby further improves low-frequency decoupling.
Can unused inputs on the CY74FCT157CTSOC be left floating?
No - all unused inputs on the CY74FCT157CTSOC must be tied to a valid logic level (VCC or GND) to ensure predictable operation and prevent increased ICC or oscillation. The datasheet explicitly requires this per Note 2 in Recommended Operating Conditions; floating inputs may cause excessive current draw or metastability in downstream logic.
