Product details
Overview
SN74AS153DR from Texas Instruments is a dual 1-of-4 data selector/multiplexer IC used for binary-decoded signal routing in digital logic systems. It features two independent 4-input multiplexers with common select lines (A, B), separate strobe inputs (1G, 2G), and TTL-compatible 5 V operation. Key confirmed parameters include tPLH/tPHL propagation delays as low as 2 ns (data-to-output), IOL = 48 mA sink capability, and operation over 0°C to 70°C - enabling use in industrial control bus arbitration and parallel-to-serial conversion circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AS153DR datasheet, SN74AS153DR pinout, SN74AS153DR application, or SN74AS153DR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 16-pin SOIC (D) package, dual-mux architecture with independent enables, high-speed AS-series switching performance, and compatibility with standard 5 V TTL logic families in legacy and retrofit digital designs.
Technical Context
The SN74AS153DR implements two independent 4:1 multiplexers sharing select inputs A and B, each with dedicated active-low strobe (G) control enabling cascading or independent section gating. Its internal structure includes inverters and drivers feeding AND-OR logic gates to perform full binary decoding of input data lines (C0–C3 per section).
Designed for 5 V TTL systems, it delivers AS-series speed: typical propagation delays of 2–3 ns for data-to-output transitions and 3–10 ns for select/strobe-to-output, with guaranteed maximums up to 12.5 ns under loaded conditions (CL = 50 pF, RL = 500 Ω). Output drive strength supports 48 mA sink and 15 mA source current at VOH/VOL limits.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALS153DR | Slower propagation delay (max 21 ns vs. 12.5 ns); lower IOL (24 mA vs. 48 mA); same pinout and function | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-speed designs where AS-series speed is unnecessary | Select SN74ALS153DR when timing budget allows ≥20 ns delays and drive load is ≤24 mA. |
| 74F153N | Same 16-pin PDIP package; F-series speed (tPD ≈ 9 ns); higher ICC (33 mA typical); not available in SOIC | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board replacements requiring identical footprint | Choose 74F153N for through-hole builds or where F-series logic family consistency is required across a design. |
Compared with SN74ALS153DR and 74F153N, the SN74AS153DR offers the fastest propagation and highest sink drive in SOIC packaging - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-speed digital control where thermal and layout efficiency matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the SN74AS153DR?
The SN74AS153DR does not specify a maximum clock frequency in its datasheet, but its guaranteed maximum propagation delay of 12.5 ns (data-to-output) implies reliable operation up to approximately 80 MHz in well-terminated, low-capacitance configurations. Actual usable frequency depends on system-level factors including load capacitance, PCB trace length, and input signal rise time - all of which must be validated per application. The SN74AS153DR is optimized for deterministic routing rather than continuous clocked operation.
Can the SN74AS153DR operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No, the SN74AS153DR is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation and is not 3.3 V tolerant. Applying 3.3 V violates the recommended operating conditions and results in undefined logic thresholds, degraded noise margins, and potential failure to meet VIH (2 V min) and VOL (0.5 V max) specifications. For 3.3 V systems, consider TI's 74LVC153 or similar CMOS alternatives - the SN74AS153DR requires strict 5 V TTL compliance.
Does the SN74AS153DR have 3-state outputs?
No, the SN74AS153DR has standard totem-pole TTL outputs, not 3-state. Its outputs actively drive high or low based on select and strobe inputs; there is no high-impedance (Hi-Z) output mode. For 3-state functionality in a dual 4:1 mux, refer to TI's SN74AS253A or SN74ALS253 - the SN74AS153DR provides only enabled/disabled (via G inputs) and data-selected output states.
What is the pin 1 marking method for the SN74AS153DR SOIC package?
The SN74AS153DR uses standard SOIC polarity marking: pin 1 is identified by a beveled edge or notch on the top surface of the package, located at the end opposite the embossed TI logo. On tape-and-reel delivery, pin 1 aligns with quadrant Q1 per TI's tape orientation specification - verified via carrier tape sprocket hole indexing. This matches JEDEC MO-153 and TI's NS0016A outline.
How does the strobe (G) input function on the SN74AS153DR?
Each strobe input (1G and 2G) is active-low and independently controls its respective multiplexer section: 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 A/B state. This enables section-by-section enable/disable, cascading (e.g., using one section's Y to drive another's C input), or synchronized gating - a core feature confirmed in the SN74AS153DR function table and logic diagram.
