Product details
Overview
SN74AS253ANSR from Texas Instruments is a dual 4-line to 1-line data selector/multiplexer with independent 3-state outputs, operating at 4.5–5.5 V supply, supporting 48 mA sink and −15 mA source output drive, and characterized for 0°C to 70°C operation in a 16-pin plastic DIP (N) package. It enables parallel-to-serial conversion and bus multiplexing in TTL-compatible digital systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AS253ANSR datasheet, SN74AS253ANSR pinout, SN74AS253ANSR application, or SN74AS253ANSR equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-section architecture with separate OE controls, high-speed propagation (as low as 2.5 ns tPLH on data inputs), robust 3-state bus-driving capability, and compatibility with legacy AS-series logic families.
Technical Context
The SN74AS253ANSR implements two independent 4:1 multiplexer sections sharing common select lines A and B, each with dedicated output-enable (1OE, 2OE) inputs controlling high-impedance states. Its internal structure includes binary-decoded AND-OR gates with inverters and drivers for full decoding.
Each section selects one of four data inputs (C0–C3) based on A/B address bits and drives a dedicated output (1Y or 2Y) with active-low 3-state control. The device uses bipolar Schottky (AS) technology, delivering faster switching than ALS variants-e.g., tPHL(A→Y) ≤ 11.5 ns vs. 21 ns for SN74ALS253-with higher output current drive and tighter VOL/VOL specs.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
SN74AS253ANSR is housed in a 16-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-N), 300-mil width, with 0.1-inch lead pitch and through-hole termination. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; pin numbering follows standard DIP convention (counterclockwise from top-left).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (1C0) | Data input, Section 1 | Low-order data input for first 4:1 mux; tied to internal AND gate for C0 selection when A=0,B=0. |
| 2 (1C1) | Data input, Section 1 | Second data input for Section 1; selected when A=1,B=0 per function table. |
| 3 (1C2) | Data input, Section 1 | Third data input for Section 1; selected when A=0,B=1. |
| 4 (1C3) | Data input, Section 1 | High-order data input for Section 1; selected when A=1,B=1. |
| 5 (1Y) | Output, Section 1 | Active-drive or high-Z output of Section 1; driven only when 1OE = L. |
| 6 (1OE) | Output enable, Section 1 | Active-low control: asserts 1Y when low; places 1Y in high-Z when high. |
| 7 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output currents; must be low-impedance. |
| 8 (2C0) | Data input, Section 2 | Low-order data input for second 4:1 mux; shares select lines A/B with Section 1. |
| 9 (2C1) | Data input, Section 2 | Second data input for Section 2; selected under same A/B codes as 1C1. |
| 10 (2C2) | Data input, Section 2 | Third data input for Section 2; selected under same A/B codes as 1C2. |
| 11 (2C3) | Data input, Section 2 | High-order data input for Section 2; selected under same A/B codes as 1C3. |
| 12 (2Y) | Output, Section 2 | Independent active-drive or high-Z output; controlled solely by 2OE. |
| 13 (2OE) | Output enable, Section 2 | Active-low control for Section 2 output; decouples 2Y from bus without affecting 1Y. |
| 14 (VCC) | Power supply | +5 V nominal supply; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor near pin. |
| 15 (B) | Select input (shared) | MSB of 2-bit address; determines C2/C3 vs. C0/C1 group selection for both sections. |
| 16 (A) | Select input (shared) | LSB of 2-bit address; combines with B to fully decode four input channels per section. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 4:1 multiplexers | Two fully isolated data paths sharing only A/B select lines-enables simultaneous routing of two data streams without crosstalk. |
| Individual 3-state output enables | Separate 1OE and 2OE pins allow selective bus arbitration: one section can drive while the other remains high-Z, eliminating external gating logic. |
| AS-family speed and drive | Sub-10 ns propagation and 48 mA sink capability support direct interfacing with legacy TTL buses and fast control-plane logic. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIH = 2 V / VIL = 0.8 V ensures reliable recognition of standard TTL outputs without level-shifting. |
| Robust 3-state isolation | IOZL ≤ −50 µA and IOZH ≤ 50 µA guarantee minimal leakage in disabled state-critical for multi-drop bus integrity. |
Applications
| Industrial Control Backplane | Legacy Computer I/O Expansion |

Use Scenario: Routing sensor data from eight analog input modules onto a shared 8-bit data bus in a programmable logic controller (PLC) rack. IC Role / Device Role: Dual-section multiplexer consolidates two 4-channel input groups into time-multiplexed bus traffic, synchronized by CPU address lines. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete gating logic or additional bus transceivers-reduces component count and PCB area while maintaining deterministic timing via AS-speed propagation. |
Use Scenario: Selecting between four peripheral registers (UART, timer, GPIO, interrupt controller) in an ISA-bus-compatible embedded system. IC Role / Device Role: Acts as address-decoded data path selector, using ISA address bits A1–A0 to choose register data for CPU read/write cycles. Use Value: Provides pin-level compatibility with original design schematics using SN74ALS253, while improving bus settling time and noise immunity via tighter VOL spec (0.35 V max). |
| Test Equipment Signal Routing | Digital Audio Multiplexer Interface |
|
Use Scenario: Switching between four calibration reference signals into a single ADC channel in automated test equipment (ATE). IC Role / Device Role: Precision signal selector with low crosstalk and fast enable/disable-ensures clean signal acquisition without ghosting between channels. Use Value: Sub-7 ns tPZL/tPHZ minimizes dead time between channel changes; 3-state outputs prevent loading of unused references during selection. |
Use Scenario: Combining four stereo audio data streams (I²S format) into a single serial output for FPGA-based audio processing. IC Role / Device Role: Parallel-to-serial converter synchronizing sample data from multiple codecs using common bit-clock and frame-sync signals. Use Value: AS-family propagation consistency (<±1 ns skew between sections) preserves inter-channel timing alignment critical for multi-track audio sampling. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALS253N | Slower propagation (tPHL up to 21 ns), lower drive (24 mA IOL), wider VOL range (0.4 V max). | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-critical timing applications where AS-speed is unnecessary. | Select when legacy board compatibility and lower power (ICC = 12 mA vs. 29 mA) outweigh speed requirements. |
| SN74HC153N | CMOS technology, rail-to-rail VIH/VIL, 100 µA ICC, but slower (tPLH up to 29 ns) and lower drive (±5.2 mA). | Better for low-power, mixed-voltage systems interfacing with 3.3 V logic; not TTL-compatible. | Choose for battery-powered or voltage-flexible designs where fanout and speed are secondary to quiescent current. |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock/data rate supported by SN74AS253ANSR?
SN74AS253ANSR does not operate on a clock; it is asynchronous. Its maximum usable data rate depends on propagation delay and system setup/hold timing. With tPLH/tPHL ≤ 7.5 ns and tPZL/tPHZ ≤ 7 ns, it supports reliable multiplexing of signals with edge rates up to ~100 MHz in well-designed layouts-assuming proper load capacitance (≤50 pF) and termination.
Can SN74AS253ANSR interface directly with 3.3 V logic devices?
No-SN74AS253ANSR is a 5 V-only TTL-compatible device. Its VIH minimum is 2.0 V, which may accept 3.3 V logic HIGH, but its outputs swing from 0.35 V (VOL) to ≥2.4 V (VOH) at 5 V VCC and cannot safely drive 3.3 V inputs without risk of overvoltage or excessive current. Level-shifting circuitry is required for reliable 3.3 V interface.
Does SN74AS253ANSR have power-on reset or built-in ESD protection?
SN74AS253ANSR has no internal power-on reset circuitry-it powers up in an undefined output state until valid inputs are applied. Per datasheet, it includes standard bipolar ESD protection (±2 kV HBM), but external transient suppression is recommended in noisy industrial environments per TI application guidelines.
How does the dual-output architecture of SN74AS253ANSR reduce system complexity?
SN74AS253ANSR integrates two independent 4:1 multiplexers with separate OE controls in one 16-pin package. This eliminates the need for two discrete '153 devices and associated glue logic, reducing PCB footprint, interconnect inductance, and BOM line items-especially valuable in space-constrained backplane and instrumentation designs.
Is SN74AS253ANSR RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes-SN74AS253ANSR (orderable as SN74AS253ANE4) is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, with CU NIPDAU lead finish. TI's packaging documentation confirms Pb-Free (RoHS) status for this PDIP variant, meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements for hazardous substances.
