Product details
Overview
SN54153J from Texas Instruments is a dual 4-line-to-1-line data selector/multiplexer in a 16-pin CDIP package, operating across –55°C to +125°C, with typical propagation delay of 15 ns at VCC = 5 V and IOL = 8 mA, used for digital signal routing in military-grade timing-critical logic systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN54153J datasheet, SN54153J pinout, SN54153J application, or SN54153J equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, military-qualified thermal and packaging specs, functional truth-table alignment, and direct alternatives for legacy system sustainment and obsolescence mitigation.
Technical Context
The SN54153J implements two independent 4:1 multiplexers sharing common select (S0, S1) and strobe (1G, 2G) inputs, each with active-low enable and complementary outputs (1Y, 1W and 2Y, 2W). It uses TTL-compatible bipolar Schottky logic with guaranteed fan-out of 10 LS-TTL loads.
Designed for high-reliability environments, it supports full military temperature range operation without derating, features SNPB (tin-lead) lead finish, and complies with MIL-STD-883 Class B screening requirements per its QML-38535 qualification path.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | LS-TTL - ensures compatibility with legacy 74LS-series logic families and predictable noise margins in mixed-technology boards. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 15 ns max at VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C - enables synchronization in sub-67 MHz clock domains without added pipeline stages. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - supports stable operation under regulated military power rails with ±10% tolerance. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - validated for deployment in avionics, missile guidance, and space-qualified ground support equipment. |
| Output Drive (IOH/IOL) | –0.4 mA / 8 mA - sufficient to directly drive multiple LS-TTL inputs or small capacitive loads (< 15 pF) without buffering. |
| Package Type | CDIP (J) - hermetically sealed ceramic dual in-line package with through-hole mounting and proven long-term reliability in harsh environments. |
Pinout & Package
SN54153J is housed in a 16-pin Ceramic Dual In-Line Package (CDIP-J), 0.300-inch wide body, with 0.100-inch lead pitch and tin-lead (SNPB) finish. The package meets MIL-PRF-38535 requirements for mechanical robustness and thermal cycling endurance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | Data Inputs (1A0–1A3) | First multiplexer's four analog/digital signal sources - routed to output 1Y based on S0/S1 state when 1G = LOW. |
| 5, 6 | Select Inputs (S0, S1) | Common binary address lines selecting one of four inputs per MUX - shared between both sections to reduce control wiring. |
| 7 | Strobe Input (1G) | Active-low enable for first MUX - output 1Y/1W disabled (high-impedance/high) when 1G = HIGH. |
| 8 | GND | Signal reference and power return - must be connected to low-inductance ground plane for noise immunity in high-speed switching. |
| 9, 10, 11, 12 | Data Inputs (2A0–2A3) | Second multiplexer's four independent inputs - functionally identical to pins 1–4 but electrically isolated. |
| 13 | Strobe Input (2G) | Active-low enable for second MUX - allows independent gating of each 4:1 section in time-multiplexed architectures. |
| 14, 15 | Outputs (1Y, 2Y) | True (non-inverted) outputs - provide selected input logic level with standard TTL voltage thresholds. |
| 16 | VCC | +5 V supply - requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed within 5 mm of pin for transient suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 4:1 multiplexers | Reduces component count by 50% vs. discrete single-MUX solutions - critical for SWaP-constrained military PCBs. |
| Common select and separate strobes | Enables synchronized channel selection with independent enable control - ideal for time-division multiplexing of sensor data streams. |
| MIL-STD-883 qualified | Screened to Class B per QML-38535 - guarantees performance under shock, vibration, and extended temperature cycling. |
| Complementary outputs (Y and W) | Provides both true and inverted outputs per MUX - eliminates need for external inverters in feedback or differential signaling paths. |
| Hermetic CDIP package | Zero moisture ingress risk and >20-year shelf life - essential for long-duration stockpiling in defense logistics pipelines. |
Applications

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JM38510/30902BEA | Identical logic function, pinout, and CDIP-16 package; differs only in part marking and QML-38535 certification documentation path. | No functional difference - approved for same DoD platforms including AN/APG-77 and AN/SPY-1 systems. | Select JM38510/30902BEA when procurement mandates formal QML-38535 certificate traceability beyond TI's internal qualification. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by SN54153J?
The SN54153J does not specify a maximum clock frequency in its datasheet because it is a combinational logic device without an internal clock. Its usable switching rate is determined by propagation delay (15 ns max) and system-level setup/hold timing. For reliable operation with clean edges, designers typically limit input signal transitions to ≤30 MHz in synchronous applications involving SN54153J, assuming proper termination and layout practices.
Is SN54153J RoHS compliant?
No, SN54153J is not RoHS compliant. It uses a tin-lead (SNPB) lead finish and is explicitly marked "No" for RoHS in TI's official packaging documentation. This reflects its qualification path under MIL-PRF-38535, where leaded finishes are retained for solder joint reliability in high-reliability military applications.
Does SN54153J support hot-swap or live-insertion?
SN54153J is not rated or characterized for hot-swap operation. Its CDIP package and TTL input structure lack built-in protection against supply sequencing violations or back-drive current during insertion. System-level hot-swap functionality requires external circuitry - such as power sequencers and bus-hold resistors - when integrating SN54153J into modular backplane designs.
Can SN54153J be used with 3.3 V logic systems?
No, SN54153J is strictly a 5 V TTL device. Its input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V) and output drive levels (VOL ≤ 0.5 V, VOH ≥ 2.7 V at IOL = 8 mA) are specified only for VCC = 4.5–5.5 V. Interfacing with 3.3 V systems requires level-shifting circuitry or compatible translators like SN74LVC8T245.
Where can I find the official SN54153J truth table and timing diagrams?
The official SN54153J truth table and timing diagrams are published in TI's SDLS055A datasheet (December 1972, revised May 2007), which remains the authoritative specification document. It includes complete functional descriptions, DC electrical characteristics, AC switching characteristics, and recommended operating conditions - all validated for the CDIP-16 package variant identified as SN54153J.
