Product details
Overview
SN74ALS153DR from Texas Instruments is a dual 1-of-4 data selector/multiplexer IC used for binary-decoded signal routing in TTL-compatible digital logic systems. It features two independent 4-input multiplexers with shared select lines (A, B), individual strobe inputs (1G, 2G), and complementary outputs (1Y, 2Y). Operating at 4.5–5.5 V over 0°C to 70°C, it delivers tPLH/tPHL propagation delays as low as 3 ns (data-to-output) and supports parallel-to-serial conversion in bus management and address decoding applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALS153DR datasheet, SN74ALS153DR pinout, SN74ALS153DR application, or SN74ALS153DR equivalent, key selection criteria include its ALS-family speed-power tradeoff, SOIC-16 package compatibility with automated assembly, guaranteed 24-mA sink capability, and direct interoperability with 74LS/74F logic families in legacy industrial control and test equipment designs.
Technical Context
The SN74ALS153DR implements two independent AND-OR-invert logic sections, each decoding A/B select bits to route one of four data inputs (C0–C3) to its output (Y) when enabled by its dedicated strobe (G). Select lines A and B are common to both sections, enabling synchronized channel selection without external gating.
It uses bipolar ALS (Advanced Low-Power Schottky) technology, delivering higher speed than standard LS while maintaining lower power than AS-e.g., 14 mA typical ICC at 5 V versus 26 mA for SN74AS153. Its outputs are totem-pole (non-open-collector), fully compatible with TTL input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) and capable of driving 10 LS loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 74ALS - balances speed (vs. LS) and power (vs. AS); enables drop-in upgrades in legacy 5-V TTL systems. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures robust operation across standard 5-V rail tolerances without regulation overhead. |
| Output Drive | 24 mA sink / −2.6 mA source - drives 10x 74LS inputs directly; eliminates need for buffer stages in dense logic arrays. |
| Propagation Delay | 3–10 ns (data-to-Y) - supports >50 MHz toggle rates in critical path timing; faster than 74LS153 (15–25 ns). |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial/industrial ambient environments, excluding extended-temperature or military use. |
| Package | SOIC-16 (D), 3.9-mm body width - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles (MSL Level-1); footprint matches industry-standard 16-pin SOIC layouts. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - ensures noise margin >0.4 V with 5-V TTL signaling; prevents false switching in noisy PLC backplanes. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ALS153DR is housed in a 16-pin SOIC (Small-Outline Integrated Circuit) package with 1.27-mm lead pitch, 3.9-mm body width, and 2.00-mm maximum height per TI NS0016A outline. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner with a beveled edge marker.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1C0 | Data input 0 for first multiplexer section; routed to 1Y when A=0, B=0, and 1G=L. |
| 2 | 1C1 | Data input 1 for first section; selected when A=1, B=0, and 1G=L. |
| 3 | 1C2 | Data input 2 for first section; selected when A=0, B=1, and 1G=L. |
| 4 | 1C3 | Data input 3 for first section; selected when A=1, B=1, and 1G=L. |
| 5 | 1G | Strobe (enable) for first section; active-low - 1Y = high-impedance when 1G=H. |
| 6 | 1Y | Inverted output of first multiplexer; reflects selected Cx input only when 1G=L. |
| 7 | GND | Power ground reference for all internal logic and I/O; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 8 | 2C0 | Data input 0 for second multiplexer section; independently selectable using same A/B lines. |
| 9 | 2C1 | Data input 1 for second section; shares A/B select but isolated from first section's G/Y signals. |
| 10 | 2C2 | Data input 2 for second section; enables dual-channel routing without external demux logic. |
| 11 | 2C3 | Data input 3 for second section; supports simultaneous 2×4:1 selection in compact footprint. |
| 12 | 2G | Strobe (enable) for second section; independent control allows time-multiplexed or gated channel use. |
| 13 | 2Y | Inverted output of second multiplexer; complements 1Y for differential or dual-bus applications. |
| 14 | VCC | +5 V supply input; bypassing with 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor near pin is required for stable operation. |
| 15 | B | Common select line (LSB); controls bit-0 decode across both multiplexer sections. |
| 16 | A | Common select line (MSB); controls bit-1 decode; A/B combination selects C0–C3 per section. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 4:1 multiplexers | Reduces component count vs. two discrete 74ALS151s; saves PCB area and interconnect complexity in data-path consolidation. |
| Shared A/B select lines | Enables synchronized channel selection across both sections - essential for mirrored data routing in ADC/DAC interface logic. |
| Individual strobe (G) inputs | Allows selective enable/disable of each section - supports dynamic bus arbitration or power-gated signal paths without global reset. |
| ALS logic family performance | Delivers 3× faster data-to-output delay than 74LS153 at comparable power - improves timing margin in high-speed control sequencers. |
| SOIC-16 packaging | Supports automated pick-and-place and reflow assembly; footprint compatible with legacy DIP-16 layouts via adapter boards. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Legacy Test Equipment Signal Routing |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Expanding digital input channels in programmable logic controllers by scanning multiple sensor banks through a single microcontroller port. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual 4:1 multiplexer routes up to eight discrete sensor signals (via two 4-bit groups) to a shared 8-bit parallel input bus under A/B address control. Use Value: Eliminates need for additional port expanders or FPGA glue logic; maintains deterministic 10-ns worst-case latency between scan command and sampled value. |
Use Scenario: Configuring stimulus/sense paths in automated test equipment that switches between multiple DUT interfaces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Routes calibration reference signals or measurement returns between instrument channels and device-under-test fixtures using strobe-controlled isolation. Use Value: Enables sub-15-ns path reconfiguration without signal contention; individual G inputs prevent crosstalk during transition states. |
| Microcontroller Address Decoding | Parallel-to-Serial Data Conversion |
|
Use Scenario: Generating chip-select signals for multiple peripheral ICs (e.g., EEPROM, UART, ADC) from limited MCU address lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uses A/B as address LSBs and C0–C3 as enable inputs to generate four unique active-low CS outputs per section. Use Value: Provides deterministic, glitch-free CS assertion with <10 ns skew across all outputs - critical for meeting setup/hold timing of memory devices. |
Use Scenario: Converting parallel status bits from a sensor array into a serial stream for transmission over a single-wire interface. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Cycles A/B to sequentially select C0–C3 inputs while strobing 1G; 1Y output forms serial bitstream synchronized to clock-driven A/B changes. Use Value: Achieves 50+ Mbps serial rate using simple counter logic - avoids dedicated shift-register ICs or firmware bit-banging overhead. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 4:1 multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LS153N | Slower (15–25 ns propagation), higher ICC (19 mA typ), same pinout and logic function. | Acceptable where timing margin >20 ns exists; lower drive (8 mA sink) limits fanout in dense LS systems. | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-speed-critical replacements where existing LS design margins are verified. |
| SN74AS153NSR | Faster (2–7 ns propagation), higher power (ICCL = 33 mA), same pinout and logic function. | Required for >100 MHz system clocks; increased drive (48 mA sink) supports heavier capacitive loads but raises thermal density. | Choose when SN74ALS153DR timing is insufficient and board layout accommodates higher power dissipation. |
Compared with SN74LS153N, SN74ALS153DR cuts propagation delay by ~60% with only modest ICC increase; compared with SN74AS153NSR, it reduces power by ~50% while retaining sub-10 ns performance - making it the optimal balance for mid-speed industrial control logic.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74ALS153DR in a data-select application?
The SN74ALS153DR does not operate on a clock signal - it is asynchronous. Its usable toggle rate depends on propagation delay and system setup/hold timing. With worst-case tPHL + tPLH = 21 ns (data-to-Y), it reliably supports input address changes up to ~40 MHz in well-designed PCB layouts with controlled trace lengths and proper decoupling.
Can SN74ALS153DR replace SN74LS153 in an existing design without modifications?
Yes, SN74ALS153DR is pin-compatible and functionally identical to SN74LS153, with identical pinout, logic behavior, and voltage thresholds. Its improved speed (3–10 ns vs. 15–25 ns) and slightly higher output drive (24 mA vs. 8 mA) typically enhance performance without requiring layout or firmware changes.
Does SN74ALS153DR support 3.3-V logic interfacing?
No. SN74ALS153DR is specified only for 4.5–5.5 V operation and TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V). Driving it from 3.3-V logic may result in marginal VIH margin and undefined operation; level-shifting circuitry is required for reliable 3.3-V to 5-V interfacing.
What is the meaning of "ALS" in SN74ALS153DR?
"ALS" stands for Advanced Low-Power Schottky - a Texas Instruments bipolar logic family that improves upon standard LS (Low-Power Schottky) by reducing propagation delay by ~50% while maintaining similar quiescent power. SN74ALS153DR exemplifies this tradeoff with 3–10 ns delays and 14 mA typical ICC at 5 V.
Is SN74ALS153DR RoHS compliant and suitable for modern manufacturing?
Yes. SN74ALS153DR carries NIPDAU (nickel-palladium-gold) lead finish, is RoHS compliant, and rated MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH). Its SOIC-16 package supports standard reflow profiles and is qualified for high-volume SMT assembly in industrial electronics production.
