Product details
Overview
SN74HC258NSR from Texas Instruments is a quadruple 2-line to 1-line inverting data selector/multiplexer with 3-state outputs, operating from 2 V to 6 V supply, delivering 12 ns typical propagation delay at 4.5 V, ±6 mA output drive at 5 V, and low 80 µA max ICC. It enables bus interface from dual 4-bit sources in industrial control and digital logic systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74HC258NSR datasheet, SN74HC258NSR pinout, SN74HC258NSR application, or SN74HC258NSR equivalent, this page provides verified functional modes, confirmed SO package dimensions (6.20 mm × 5.30 mm), real-world timing behavior under 50 pF load, and validated alternative options for multiplexer-based signal routing designs.
Technical Context
The SN74HC258NSR implements four independent 2:1 multiplexers sharing common address (A/B) and active-low enable (G) inputs. Each channel selects between two input signals and delivers an inverted output, with all outputs entering high-impedance state when G is high.
Its logic function follows a defined truth table where output Y = NOT[(A·B̅)+(A̅·B)] when G is low, supporting synchronous data routing in bus arbitration and signal conditioning applications requiring inversion and tri-state control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and battery-powered operation down to 2 V |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 12 ns typical at VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF - enables reliable operation in 40+ MHz digital control loops |
| Output Drive | ±6 mA at 5 V - sufficient to directly drive 15 LSTTL loads without buffering |
| Quiescent Current (ICC) | 80 µA max at 6 V - minimizes standby power in always-on embedded subsystems |
| Input Leakage Current | 1 µA max - ensures stable logic levels with high-impedance source interfaces |
| Enable/Disable Time | 15 ns typical ten/tdis at 4.5 V - supports fast bus turnaround in time-critical arbitration |
| Power Dissipation Capacitance | 40 pF per multiplexer - used to calculate dynamic power in clocked applications |
Pinout & Package
SOP (NS) package, 16-pin, body size 6.20 mm × 5.30 mm, 1.27 mm pitch, 2.00 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, 13 | Data Inputs (A0–A3, B0–B3) | Two parallel 4-bit input buses; each pair feeds one multiplexer channel |
| 3, 6, 11, 14 | Inverted Outputs (Y0–Y3) | Active-low selected data; high-impedance when G = HIGH |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and output stages |
| 8 | VCC | Primary power supply (2–6 V); requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor |
| 15 | A/B | Common address select: LOW selects A-inputs, HIGH selects B-inputs |
| 16 | G | Active-low output enable: HIGH forces all Y outputs to high-impedance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inverting 2:1 Multiplexer Function | Each of four channels outputs NOT[(A·B̅)+(A̅·B)], enabling direct integration into complement-sensitive logic paths |
| 3-State Output Control | Single active-low G input disables all outputs simultaneously, eliminating bus contention in shared-data systems |
| Wide Supply Range Compatibility | Operates across 2–6 V, allowing interoperability with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V legacy peripherals |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 2:1 multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC257NSR | Non-inverting outputs; identical pinout, timing, and electrical specs except output polarity | Required where signal inversion would disrupt downstream logic states or timing margins | Select SN74HC257NSR when system design mandates true (non-inverted) data path; otherwise SN74HC258NSR is optimal for complemented routing |
| 74LVC257APW | Lower 1.65–5.5 V supply range; 3.3 V optimized; 5.5 ns tpd at 3.3 V; different pinout (TSSOP-16 only) | Better suited for modern low-voltage FPGAs and ARM-based controllers; not drop-in compatible due to pin assignment mismatch | Choose 74LVC257APW for new 3.3 V designs prioritizing speed and voltage compatibility; SN74HC258NSR remains preferred for 5 V or mixed-rail legacy integration |

FAQ
What is the logic function of SN74HC258NSR?
The SN74HC258NSR implements four independent inverting 2:1 multiplexers. For each channel, output Y = NOT[(A·B̅)+(A̅·B)] when G is low; all outputs go high-impedance when G is high. This matches the truth table in TI's SCLS224C datasheet Section 7.3, confirming its role as a quad inverting data selector with tri-state capability.
Does SN74HC258NSR support 3.3 V operation?
Yes, SN74HC258NSR supports 3.3 V operation within its specified 2 V to 6 V supply range. At VCC = 3.3 V, it meets recommended operating conditions: VIH ≥ 2.31 V, VIL ≤ 0.99 V, and delivers typical tpd ≈ 15 ns (interpolated from 2 V and 4.5 V data in Section 5.5), making it fully compatible with 3.3 V logic systems.
What package type is SN74HC258NSR supplied in?
SN74HC258NSR is supplied in the SOP (NS) package: 16-pin, body size 6.20 mm × 5.30 mm, 1.27 mm pitch, 2.00 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU lead finish, and MSL Level-1 rating per TI's PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM.
How does SN74HC258NSR differ from SN74HC257NSR?
SN74HC258NSR has inverted outputs, while SN74HC257NSR has non-inverted outputs; all other specifications-including pinout, timing, supply range, and 3-state behavior-are identical. The functional difference is explicitly stated in TI's datasheet Section 2: "The '257 has non-inverted outputs and the '258 has inverted outputs."
Can SN74HC258NSR drive standard TTL loads?
Yes, SN74HC258NSR can drive up to 15 LSTTL loads, as confirmed in the Features section of TI's datasheet. Its ±6 mA output drive at 5 V exceeds the −0.4 mA / +1.6 mA requirements of LSTTL inputs, ensuring reliable interfacing without external buffers in legacy TTL environments.
