Product details
Overview
CY74FCT157CTSOCT from Texas Instruments is a quad 2-input multiplexer with 3-state outputs, designed for data routing in TTL- and CMOS-compatible digital systems. It features 4.3 ns propagation delay (max), ±32 mA output drive capability, and operates over –40°C to +85°C. Used in bus multiplexing, function generation, and register-to-bus data selection in industrial control and instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT157CTSOCT datasheet, CY74FCT157CTSOCT pinout, CY74FCT157CTSOCT application, or CY74FCT157CTSOCT equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state output timing, Ioff-enabled partial-power-down support, matched rise/fall times, and SOIC-16 package compatibility with legacy FCT logic families.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT157CTSOCT implements four independent 2:1 multiplexers sharing one common select (S) and active-low enable (E) input. Each Y output reflects either I0x or I1x based on S state when E is low; all outputs go high-impedance when E is high.
It uses FCT-family silicon with edge-rate control circuitry to reduce switching noise, supports TTL-level inputs (VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max), and includes Ioff protection enabling safe operation during partial power-down - critical for hot-swap and mixed-voltage system designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 4.3 ns max - ensures tight timing budget compliance in 25 MHz+ synchronous bus systems |
| Output Drive (IOL/IOH) | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source - drives heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs without buffering |
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 4.75–5.25 V - tightly regulated 5 V operation compatible with legacy TTL supply rails |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and control applications |
| Ioff Current | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents backflow current during partial power-down, protecting powered subsystems |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - fully interoperable with standard TTL logic levels |
| 3-State Enable Time (tPZL/tPHZ) | 4.8 ns max - enables fast bus arbitration and dynamic signal routing |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOIC-16 (DW), 7.5 mm × 10.3 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (E) | Active-low output enable | Drives all Y outputs into high-impedance when high; enables concurrent bus sharing |
| 2 (I0a), 3 (I1a), 4 (Ya) | Data inputs and noninverted output (channel A) | Routes selected bit from two sources to shared bus; Ya = I0a if S = L, else I1a |
| 5 (I0b), 6 (I1b), 7 (Yb) | Data inputs and noninverted output (channel B) | Independent 2:1 path synchronized to same S and E controls |
| 8 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for logic and output current paths; decoupling capacitor placement critical |
| 9 (VCC) | Power supply | 5 V nominal supply; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass near pin |
| 10 (S) | Common data-select input | Single control line determines source selection across all four channels |
| 11 (I0c), 12 (I1c), 13 (Yc) | Data inputs and noninverted output (channel C) | Third identical multiplexer channel, electrically isolated but logically synchronized |
| 14 (I0d), 15 (I1d), 16 (Yd) | Data inputs and noninverted output (channel D) | Fourth channel completing quad configuration; supports full 4-bit word routing |
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 |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Enables safe isolation of unpowered sections in multi-rail systems without external isolation circuitry |
| Matched rise/fall times | Minimizes duty cycle distortion on routed clock or data signals - critical for timing-sensitive applications |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | Eliminates need for level-shifting when interfacing with legacy 5 V microcontrollers, FPGAs, or ASICs |
| ESD protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - exceeds JEDEC standards for robust handling in manufacturing and field environments |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Multiplexing | Legacy Bus Arbitration |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT157CTSOCT | Same pinout, identical timing and drive specs; TI rebranded part number with identical DW package and marking | No functional difference; used interchangeably in new designs and legacy BOMs | Select when sourcing from distributors listing SN74 prefix; identical qualification and reliability data |
| 74AC157M | Higher speed (tPD = 3.5 ns typ), lower drive (24 mA sink), wider VCC range (2–6 V), no Ioff support | Suitable for battery-powered or mixed-voltage systems but lacks partial-power-down safety | Choose only if 5 V-only operation and Ioff are not required; verify layout for increased SSN due to faster edges |
Compared with CY74FCT157CTSOCT, SN74FCT157CTSOCT offers drop-in replacement assurance with identical form-fit-function, while 74AC157M trades Ioff and noise control for broader voltage operation and marginal speed gain - requiring redesign validation for power sequencing and EMI.

FAQ
What is the maximum propagation delay of the CY74FCT157CTSOCT at 5 V?
The CY74FCT157CTSOCT has a maximum propagation delay of 4.3 ns (tPLH/tPHL) under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.75–5.25 V, TA = –40°C to +85°C). This value applies to both I→Y and S→Y paths and is measured with CL = 50 pF load. The CY74FCT157CTSOCT meets this spec across its full industrial temperature range.
Does the CY74FCT157CTSOCT support partial power-down operation?
Yes, the CY74FCT157CTSOCT includes Ioff circuitry that disables outputs and limits current to ±1 µA when VCC = 0 V, preventing damaging backflow current during partial power-down. This feature is explicitly validated in the datasheet and allows safe integration into multi-rail systems where other components remain powered while the CY74FCT157CTSOCT is unpowered.
Is the CY74FCT157CTSOCT pin-compatible with older FCT-series multiplexers?
Yes, the CY74FCT157CTSOCT is function, pinout, and drive compatible with earlier FCT logic devices including CY74FCT157T and CY54FCT157T. Its SOIC-16 (DW) footprint matches standard 5 V FCT multiplexers, and electrical characteristics (VOH/VOL, VIH/VIL, drive strength) are maintained within FCT family specifications - enabling direct replacement in existing designs.
What is the output drive capability of the CY74FCT157CTSOCT?
The CY74FCT157CTSOCT provides 64 mA maximum sink current (IOL) and 32 mA maximum source current (IOH) per output, verified at VCC = 4.75–5.25 V and TA = –40°C to +85°C. This drive strength supports fanout to multiple TTL inputs or direct driving of moderate capacitive loads up to 50 pF without external buffers.
Can the CY74FCT157CTSOCT be used in systems with mixed 3.3 V and 5 V logic?
The CY74FCT157CTSOCT is a 5 V-only device (VCC = 4.75–5.25 V) with TTL-compatible inputs, so it accepts 3.3 V logic-high signals (VIH min = 2 V) safely. However, its outputs swing to ~3.3 V VOH (typ) and cannot directly drive 3.3 V–only inputs requiring >2.4 V VIH without verification. For robust mixed-voltage interfacing, level-shifting or buffer validation per application is recommended - the CY74FCT157CTSOCT itself does not support dual-supply operation.
