Product details
Overview
SN74ALS153NSR 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). Operates at 4.5–5.5 V over 0°C to 70°C, delivering 24 mA sink current and supporting parallel-to-serial conversion in industrial control and legacy computing interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALS153NSR datasheet, SN74ALS153NSR pinout, SN74ALS153NSR application, or SN74ALS153NSR equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, confirmed SOP-16 package mapping, validated 16-pin terminal roles, switching performance (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 21 ns), and two technically documented alternative parts for design continuity planning.
Technical Context
The SN74ALS153NSR implements two independent AND-OR-gate-based multiplexers with full binary decoding via internal inverters and drivers. Select inputs A and B are common to both sections, enabling synchronized channel selection across dual paths.
Each section has dedicated strobe (G) control for cascading or enable/disable gating, and outputs drive standard TTL loads with guaranteed VOH ≥ 2.4 V at IOH = −2.6 mA and VOL ≤ 0.4 V at IOL = 24 mA under recommended conditions.

|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Routing sensor data from 8 analog input channels through a single ADC interface using time-division multiplexing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual 1-of-4 multiplexer selects one of four inputs per section under microcontroller A/B address control, with strobes synchronizing sample capture windows. Use Value: Reduces component count vs. discrete gate solutions while maintaining deterministic 21 ns propagation delay for precise timing alignment. |
Use Scenario: Managing access to shared memory or peripheral address space across multiple CPU modules on a backplane bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as address decoder and bus grant arbiter - A/B lines decode slot ID, strobes gate module-specific control signals. Use Value: Enables clean separation of bus ownership without contention, leveraging guaranteed 24 mA sink capability to drive bus buffers directly. |
| Test Equipment Signal Switching | Digital Audio Channel Routing |
|
Use Scenario: Automated test system selecting between 8 calibration reference voltages before feeding a precision DAC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual multiplexer routes reference pairs (e.g., 0–1 V and 2–3 V ranges) under GPIB controller command, with strobes enabling glitch-free transitions. Use Value: Eliminates mechanical relay wear and bounce; 0.4 V max VOL ensures accurate low-level voltage selection without offset error. |
Use Scenario: Routing four stereo audio source streams (8 total channels) into two DSP processing paths in broadcast mixing consoles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Configured as dual 4:1 selectors - A/B lines choose source, strobes mute during switching to prevent pop/click artifacts. Use Value: Provides TTL-level control compatibility with existing console logic, and 21 ns delay ensures sub-sample timing integrity in 48 kHz systems. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 1-of-4 multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AS153NSR | Faster propagation (≤12.5 ns), higher drive (48 mA sink), but higher ICC (21–33 mA) and tighter VIH (2.0 V min). | Better suited for high-speed bus buffering where timing margin is critical; less tolerant of marginal input rise times. | Select when <15 ns delay is required and system can support higher power; verify VIH compliance with driving logic. |
| SN74ALS153N | Same logic family and specs, but in through-hole PDIP-16 package (13.97 mm width, 25 pcs/tube). | Preferred for prototyping, repair, or legacy through-hole PCBs where SOP rework is impractical. | Choose for hand-soldered development boards or field replacement where SOP reflow infrastructure is unavailable. |
Compared with SN74ALS153NSR, SN74AS153NSR delivers superior speed and drive at higher quiescent current, while SN74ALS153N offers identical electrical behavior in a serviceable through-hole format - enabling trade-offs between production scalability, thermal/power constraints, and assembly flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the SN74ALS153NSR?
The SN74ALS153NSR does not specify a maximum clock frequency in its datasheet, but its worst-case propagation delay is 21 ns (tPLH/tPHL). This supports reliable operation up to approximately 20 MHz in synchronous designs with adequate setup/hold margins. For precise timing analysis, engineers must validate against actual load capacitance and board trace delays in the final SN74ALS153NSR implementation.
Does the SN74ALS153NSR support 3-state outputs?
No, the SN74ALS153NSR does not feature 3-state outputs. It uses standard totem-pole outputs capable of sourcing −2.6 mA and sinking 24 mA. For bus-sharing applications requiring high-impedance states, designers should consider the functionally related SN74ALS253 or SN74AS253A, which are explicitly documented as 3-state versions of this multiplexer family.
Can the SN74ALS153NSR be used with 3.3 V logic systems?
The SN74ALS153NSR is specified only for 4.5–5.5 V operation and is not 3.3 V tolerant. Its VIH minimum is 2.0 V, but input structure and output VOH/VOL are optimized for 5 V rails. Direct connection to 3.3 V CMOS or LVTTL may cause unreliable switching or excessive ICC. Use level translators or select a 3.3 V–compatible multiplexer such as the SN74LVC153 if interfacing with modern low-voltage logic.
What is the meaning of "NS" in SN74ALS153NSR?
The "NS" in SN74ALS153NSR denotes Texas Instruments' Small Outline Package (SOP) variant with gull-wing leads and 1.27 mm pitch - specifically the NS0016A outline. The "R" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging (2000 units per reel), while the full part number confirms commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) and ALS logic family compliance.
How does the strobe (G) input function in the SN74ALS153NSR?
In the SN74ALS153NSR, each multiplexer section has its own active-low strobe input (1G for section 1, 2G for section 2). When G is HIGH, the corresponding Y output is forced LOW regardless of select or data inputs. When G is LOW, the Y output reflects the selected C0–C3 input per the A/B address. This enables independent gating, cascading, or synchronization of multiplexer outputs in complex logic trees.
