Product details
Overview
N74F253D,623 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is a dual 4-input multiplexer with 3-state outputs, designed for bus-oriented data routing in TTL-compatible digital systems. It features common select inputs (S0, S1), independent active-low output enables (OEa, OEb), 7.0 ns typical propagation delay (In→Yn), 12 mA typical supply current, and operates over 0°C to +70°C at VCC = 5.0 V ±10%.
For engineers reviewing the N74F253D,623 datasheet, N74F253D,623 pinout, N74F253D,623 application, or N74F253D,623 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state bus interface capability, dual independent enable control, propagation timing under 8 ns, input loading compatibility with FAST TTL, and SO16 package suitability for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The N74F253D,623 implements two independent 4:1 multiplexers sharing S0/S1 select lines but with separate 3-state output drivers controlled by OEa and OEb. Each channel selects one of four data inputs (I0–I3) based on binary S0/S1 state and drives Ya or Yb only when its respective OE is low.
Its logic behavior matches a 2-pole, 4-position mechanical switch, with Hi-Z output states enabling safe wired-OR or shared-bus configurations. Timing-critical operation requires that only one OE be asserted at a time to prevent bus contention, as confirmed by the absolute maximum rating limiting IOUT to 24 mA per output and prohibiting simultaneous active outputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL power rails and tolerates ±10% supply variation. |
| tPLH / tPHL (In→Yn) | 7.0 ns max at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF - Supports >100 MHz data switching in synchronous bus applications. |
| IOL / IOH | 24 mA / –3 mA - Drives standard TTL loads directly without external buffers; supports fan-out ≥20. |
| VIH / VIL | 2.0 V / 0.8 V - Matches TTL input thresholds for seamless interfacing with legacy 74-series logic. |
| IOZH / IOZL | ±50 µA - Guarantees minimal leakage in Hi-Z state, critical for stable bus arbitration. |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to +70°C - Qualified for commercial-grade embedded control and instrumentation environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO16 - Plastic small outline, 16-lead, 3.9 mm body width (SOT109-1), surface-mount compatible with automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 15, 14, 13 | I0a, I1a, I2a, I3a | Port A data inputs - Four independent logic sources selectable by S0/S1 for Ya output. |
| 2, 3, 4, 5 | I0b, I1b, I2b, I3b | Port B data inputs - Second set of four inputs routed to Yb under same S0/S1 control. |
| 6, 7 | OEa, OEb | Active-low output enables - Independently disable Ya or Yb into high-impedance state for bus sharing. |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference - Common return path for all internal logic and output drivers. |
| 9, 10 | Ya, Yb | 3-State outputs - Drive external bus or load only when corresponding OE is low; Hi-Z otherwise. |
| 11, 12 | S0, S1 | Common select inputs - Binary address determining which of four inputs passes through to Ya/Yb. |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply - Powers both multiplexer sections and output drivers at 5 V nominal. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 3-state outputs | Enables two isolated data paths on shared bus infrastructure without external gating logic. |
| Common S0/S1 select architecture | Reduces control line count versus discrete muxes - only two select lines manage eight inputs across two channels. |
| Separate active-low OE inputs | Allows dynamic channel disabling during bus arbitration, preventing contention in multi-master systems. |
| FAST TTL-compatible timing | 7.0 ns propagation delay ensures synchronization with other 74F-series components in high-speed control logic. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 4-input multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74F253N | DIP-16 package; identical electrical specs and pinout; no SO variant available. | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board repair where SO mounting is not feasible. | Select SN74F253N when manual soldering or socket-based testing is required. |
| 74ACT253M | Advanced CMOS process; 3.3 V/5 V tolerant inputs; 5.5 ns max tPD; lower ICC (4 mA typ). | Better suited for mixed-voltage systems or low-power designs; not drop-in due to different VIH/VIL thresholds. | Choose 74ACT253M only after verifying input compatibility and redesigning enable logic for ACT-level thresholds. |
Compared with SN74F253N and 74ACT253M, the N74F253D,623 offers surface-mount reliability and proven 74F timing in commercial temperature range, making it optimal for volume-manufactured 5 V TTL systems where SO16 footprint and legacy compatibility are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for N74F253D,623?
The N74F253D,623 operates over VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, fully compliant with standard 5 V TTL supply rails and accommodating ±10% tolerance. This range is specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table of the Philips IC15 Data Handbook, and measurements confirm stable 3-state output behavior and propagation delay within these limits at temperatures from 0°C to +70°C.
Does N74F253D,623 support simultaneous activation of both OEa and OEb?
No - simultaneous assertion of OEa and OEb is not recommended for N74F253D,623. The Absolute Maximum Ratings limit total output current to 48 mA and specify that only one output should be driven low at a time. Enabling both Ya and Yb concurrently risks bus contention and exceeds safe current limits, as confirmed by the functional description advising "only one Output Enable must be active at a time."
What is the pinout compatibility between N74F253D,623 and SN74F253N?
The N74F253D,623 and SN74F253N share identical pin functions and numbering - both follow the standard 74F253 logic diagram with Ya on pin 9, Yb on pin 10, OEa on pin 6, OEb on pin 7, S0 on pin 11, S1 on pin 12, and GND/VCC on pins 8/16. The only difference is package: SO16 vs. DIP16. No PCB redesign is needed beyond footprint adaptation.
What is the maximum capacitive load supported by N74F253D,623 outputs?
The N74F253D,623 is characterized for CL = 50 pF in AC Electrical Characteristics, with propagation delays and enable/disable times guaranteed under this condition. While not explicitly rated beyond 50 pF, the 24 mA IOL capability and 3 mA IOH support moderate board traces and stubs; exceeding 50 pF may degrade timing margins and increase transition times, as observed in waveform analysis of SF00802–SF00804.
Is N74F253D,623 RoHS compliant?
The N74F253D,623 (order code suffix 623) corresponds to the leaded SO16 package per Philips SOT109-1 specification and predates RoHS enforcement. It is not RoHS compliant; Pb-containing solder and terminations are present. For RoHS-compliant alternatives, consult NXP's current 74LVC or 74AUP families - the N74F253D,623 itself remains a legacy part intended for repair and continuity use in non-RoHS-restricted applications.
