Product details
Overview
SN74F157ANSR from Texas Instruments is a quadruple 2-input data selector/multiplexer with common strobe (G) control, true output logic, buffered I/O, and 16-pin SOP-NS package. It operates across 0°C to 70°C, supports 4.5 V–5.5 V supply, delivers 20 mA low-state output drive, and achieves 6.5 ns max tPHL (A/B→Y) at 5 V/50 pF - used in digital bus routing and address/data path selection in legacy TTL-based control systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74F157ANSR datasheet, SN74F157ANSR pinout, SN74F157ANSR application, or SN74F157ANSR equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, validated SOP-NS package mapping, confirmed switching timing under load, true-output behavior, and direct alternatives for F-series TTL multiplexer replacement in industrial control and instrumentation designs.
Technical Context
The SN74F157ANSR implements four independent 2:1 multiplexers sharing one active-low strobe (G) and one select (A/B) input. When G is high, all Y outputs are forced low regardless of A/B or data inputs; when G is low, each Yn routes either An or Bn based on A/B state. All inputs and outputs are TTL-compatible and internally buffered.
It uses standard bipolar F-series TTL process with Schottky-clamped transistors, delivering propagation delays as low as 1.7 ns (tPHL, A/B→Y, typical) and guaranteed ≤11 ns max across temperature and voltage. Output drive capability (IOL = 20 mA, VOL ≤ 0.5 V) ensures robust fanout into standard TTL loads without external buffering.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quadruple 2:1 multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LS157N | Slower (tPD ≤ 25 ns), lower IOL (8 mA), same pinout and logic function | Acceptable where timing margin >15 ns and fanout ≤4 TTL loads | Lower power consumption (ICC ≈ 19 mA vs. 23 mA), suitable for battery-backed control modules |
| SN74ACT157DR | CMOS technology, 5 V tolerant, higher speed (tPD ≤ 6 ns), rail-to-rail VOH/VOL | Requires level-shifting if interfacing with legacy 74F/74LS-only systems | Better noise margin and lower static current (ICC ≈ 4 µA), preferred for mixed-voltage or low-quiescent designs |
Compared with SN74F157ANSR, SN74LS157N trades speed for reduced power and cost in less timing-critical systems, while SN74ACT157DR offers superior speed and CMOS advantages but requires verification of input compatibility with existing TTL signal sources.

FAQ
What is the logic function of the SN74F157ANSR?
The SN74F157ANSR is a quadruple 2-input data selector/multiplexer. It routes one of two 4-bit input sources (A or B) to four true outputs (1Y–4Y) based on the A/B select line, with all outputs disabled (forced low) when the strobe input G is high. This function is defined in the device's truth table and implemented using bipolar F-series TTL circuitry.
Does the SN74F157ANSR support 3.3 V logic interfaces?
No, the SN74F157ANSR is a 5 V-only TTL device. Its absolute maximum VCC is 7 V, but recommended operation is strictly 4.5 V–5.5 V. Input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and output levels (VOH ≥ 2.5 V, VOL ≤ 0.5 V) are specified for 5 V operation only. Direct connection to 3.3 V systems risks undriven inputs or excessive current draw and requires level translation.
What is the thermal and reliability qualification of the SN74F157ANSR?
The SN74F157ANSR is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C and qualified per Texas Instruments' commercial-grade F-series standards. It features a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating of Level-1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/85% RH), peak reflow tolerance up to 260°C, and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish - ensuring robust manufacturability and field reliability in industrial control environments.
Can the SN74F157ANSR replace the SN74F157AN in a design?
Yes, the SN74F157ANSR is a direct functional and pin-compatible replacement for the SN74F157AN, differing only in package: NS (SOP) vs. N (PDIP). Both share identical logic behavior, electrical specifications, timing, and temperature range. Layout changes are required due to different footprints, but no schematic or firmware modifications are needed.
What does "NS" in SN74F157ANSR signify?
"NS" denotes the package type: SOP (Small Outline Package) with specific mechanical dimensions (NS0016A drawing), 16 pins, 1.27 mm pitch, and 10.0 mm × 4.4 mm body size. It is distinct from "D" (SOIC) and "N" (PDIP) variants. The "R" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging (2000 units per reel), supporting automated SMT placement.
