Product details
Overview
SN74LS153NSR from Texas Instruments is a dual 4-line to 1-line data selector/multiplexer in a 16-pin SOP (NS) package, operating from 4.75 V to 5.25 V, with typical propagation delay of 15 ns at VCC = 5 V and TA = 25 °C, used for digital signal routing in TTL-compatible logic systems such as address decoding and data path control.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LS153NSR datasheet, SN74LS153NSR pinout, SN74LS153NSR application, or SN74LS153NSR equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual independent 4:1 multiplexer architecture, TTL-level input thresholds, guaranteed fan-out of 20 LS-TTL loads, and compatibility with legacy 74LS logic families in industrial control and instrumentation designs.
Technical Context
The SN74LS153NSR implements two identical 4-input, 1-output multiplexers sharing common select lines (S0, S1) and individual strobe inputs (1G̅, 2G̅), enabling independent enable-controlled data routing. Each section selects one of four data inputs (1A0–1A3 or 2A0–2A3) based on binary-coded select signals.
It operates strictly within the bipolar TTL process domain, with input clamp diodes, guaranteed noise margins (0.4 V low, 0.4 V high), and output drive capability of –0.4 mA (IOH) and 8 mA (IOL) under standard conditions - no CMOS compatibility, no 3.3-V operation, and no internal latching or storage function.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 74LS (Low-power Schottky TTL), ensuring interoperability with legacy 74LS/74S devices and defined voltage thresholds. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - requires regulated 5-V rail; operation outside this range invalidates timing and DC specs. |
| Propagation Delay | 15 ns max (1G̅ to 1Y), 17 ns max (1A0–1A3 to 1Y) - sets maximum clock/data rate for synchronous routing in combinatorial logic paths. |
| Fan-out | 20 LS-TTL loads - defines how many downstream 74LS inputs it can directly drive without buffering. |
| Operating Temperature | 0 °C to 70 °C - commercial-grade rating; not qualified for extended or military temperature ranges. |
| Package | SOP (NS), 16-pin, 1.27 mm pitch, 8.1 mm × 10.4 mm body - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles (MSL Level-1). |
Pinout & Package
SOP (NS) package: 16-pin small-outline plastic, 1.27 mm lead pitch, 8.1 mm × 10.4 mm body size, 2.00 mm max height, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 15 | Strobe (1G̅, 2G̅) | Active-low enable per multiplexer section; forces Y output high-impedance when asserted. |
| 2–5, 10–13 | Data Inputs (1A0–1A3, 2A0–2A3) | Four independent TTL-compatible data sources per section; no internal pull-ups or level-shifting. |
| 6, 7, 14 | Select Lines (S0, S1, GND) | S0/S1 jointly determine which of four inputs passes to Y; GND is power reference for both sections. |
| 9, 16 | Outputs (1Y, 2Y) | Active-high, totem-pole TTL outputs capable of sinking 8 mA or sourcing –0.4 mA. |
| 8 | VCC | +5 V supply pin - must be decoupled locally; no internal regulation or brownout protection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 4:1 multiplexers | Enables two parallel data-selection paths using shared select lines - reduces control logic overhead in bus arbitration. |
| Standard TTL input/output levels | Guarantees interoperability with 74LS, 74S, and 74F families without level translation in mixed-logic systems. |
| Individual strobe control per section | Allows selective disabling of one multiplexer while the other remains active - critical for time-multiplexed I/O management. |
| 15 ns typical propagation delay | Supports reliable operation up to ~30 MHz in non-critical combinatorial paths with adequate setup/hold margin. |
Applications
| Address Decoding | Parallel Data Routing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Selecting one of four memory or peripheral chip-select lines based on upper address bits in an 8-bit microprocessor system. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Combinatorial address decoder implementing 2-bit selection logic without latches or clocks. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete gates or PLD programming; provides deterministic 15 ns decode latency with TTL-compatible drive strength. | Use Scenario: Switching between four sensor data streams into a single ADC input channel in a data acquisition module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Analog front-end signal router synchronized to system clock edges via external select control. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity by avoiding CMOS transmission gates; supports DC-coupled TTL-level sensor outputs directly. |
| Bus Multiplexing | Test Mode Selection |
Use Scenario: Sharing a single UART TX line among four microcontroller subsystems in a modular industrial controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Digital bus switch controlled by system mode register bits during initialization. Use Value: Reduces PCB trace count and connector pins; avoids contention via active-low strobes that isolate unused sections. | Use Scenario: Configuring diagnostic test patterns by selecting one of four predefined logic states injected into a DUT's control bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Static configuration selector activated only during power-up or service mode entry. Use Value: Provides deterministic, glitch-free test vector selection with no metastability risk - unlike clocked alternatives. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LS153N | Same logic function and DC specs, but in 16-pin PDIP (N) package with through-hole mounting and 0–70 °C rating. | Requires PCB through-hole layout; better for prototyping or legacy board upgrades where SOP rework is impractical. | Choose SN74LS153N for hand-soldered prototypes or field-replaceable modules needing mechanical robustness. |
| SN74LS253DR | Functionally identical dual 4:1 mux, but with complementary outputs (Y and Y̅) and SOIC-D package; otherwise matched timing and drive. | Required when inverted output is needed without external inverters - reduces component count in feedback or differential signaling paths. | Choose SN74LS253DR if your design uses both true and complemented multiplexed outputs simultaneously. |
Compared with SN74LS153N and SN74LS253DR, the SN74LS153NSR offers surface-mount compatibility and tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly, while retaining identical logic behavior and electrical interface - making it optimal for high-volume commercial PCB production where space and assembly efficiency matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock/data rate supported by SN74LS153NSR?
The SN74LS153NSR is a purely combinatorial device with no internal clock; its usable data rate depends on propagation delay and system timing margins. With a maximum tpd of 17 ns (input-to-output), it supports reliable operation up to approximately 30 MHz in well-designed PCB layouts with proper termination and decoupling - though actual rate depends on setup/hold timing of driving and receiving devices.
Does SN74LS153NSR support 3.3-V logic interfaces?
No, SN74LS153NSR is a 5-V-only TTL device. Its input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V) and output voltages (VOL ≤ 0.5 V, VOH ≥ 2.7 V at IOL/IOH) are specified only for VCC = 4.75–5.25 V. Direct connection to 3.3-V logic may cause undefined states or excessive current draw and is not recommended without level-shifting circuitry.
Can SN74LS153NSR be used as a 1-of-8 multiplexer?
No, SN74LS153NSR contains two independent 4:1 multiplexers, not a single 8:1 function. To implement 1-of-8 selection, external logic (e.g., an additional select bit controlling the strobes or OR-ing outputs) is required - the SN74LS153NSR itself does not provide 3-bit select decoding or output combining capability.
Is SN74LS153NSR pin-compatible with SN74LS253DR?
Yes, SN74LS153NSR and SN74LS253DR share identical pinouts in their respective SOP (NS) and SOIC (D) packages - both use 16-pin configurations with matching signal assignments for VCC, GND, select lines, strobes, inputs, and outputs. However, SN74LS253DR provides complementary outputs (Y and Y̅), whereas SN74LS153NSR provides only true outputs (Y).
What is the meaning of "NS" in SN74LS153NSR?
The "NS" in SN74LS153NSR denotes the package type: SOP (Small Outline Package) with 16 pins, 1.27 mm lead pitch, and standardized JEDEC MO-153AC dimensions. The "R" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging (2000 units per reel), optimized for automated SMT placement - distinct from tube-packaged variants like SN74LS153N.
