Product details
Overview
SN74LV157ADG4 from Texas Instruments is a quadruple 2-line to 1-line data selector/multiplexer operating from 2 V to 5.5 V, delivering 7.5 ns max propagation delay at 5 V, supporting 5.5 V-tolerant inputs, and rated for latch-up immunity >100 mA per JESD78 Class II. It routes four independent 2:1 data paths under shared address (A/B) and active-low strobe (G) control in telecom infrastructure and LED display systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LV157ADG4 datasheet, SN74LV157ADG4 pinout, SN74LV157ADG4 application, or SN74LV157ADG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16-pin TSSOP package (PW), 2–5.5 V supply flexibility, 5.5 V input tolerance, sub-8 ns tpd at 5 V, and compatibility with mixed-voltage logic interfacing in space-constrained industrial control and network switch designs.
Technical Context
The SN74LV157ADG4 implements four independent 2:1 multiplexers with true (non-inverted) output logic and a common active-low output enable (G). Each channel selects between two inputs (A or B) based on the A/B select line, with all outputs disabled when G is high.
Its design supports mixed-voltage operation: inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC (2–5.5 V), enabling seamless interfacing with legacy 5 V logic while powered from modern 3.3 V or 2.5 V rails. Output drive strength scales with VCC, delivering ±12 mA at 5 V and ±2 mA at 2.3 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - enables single-supply operation across 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains |
| Max Propagation Delay | 7.5 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - ensures timing-critical data routing in high-speed digital control paths |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows direct connection to 5 V signals without level shifters when VCC ≥ 2 V |
| Output Drive Current | ±12 mA at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - sufficient to drive multiple CMOS loads or small LED segments directly |
| Latch-up Immunity | >100 mA per JESD78 Class II - guarantees robustness against transient current faults in noisy industrial environments |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended temperature operation in telecom and motor control applications |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 (PW) package, 5.0 mm × 4.4 mm body size, 1.2 mm max height, lead pitch 0.65 mm, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 A/B | Global select input | Controls all four channels simultaneously: selects input A (low) or B (high) for each Y output |
| 2–3, 5–6, 10–11, 13–14 | Data inputs (1A/1B, 2A/2B, 3A/3B, 4A/4B) | Eight dedicated data lines - two per channel, accepting 5.5 V-tolerant logic levels |
| 4, 7, 9, 12 | Data outputs (1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y) | Four true (non-inverted) outputs - driven only when G = low; high-impedance otherwise |
| 8 GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all I/O and internal circuitry; requires low-inductance PCB connection |
| 15 G | Active-low output enable | Strobes all outputs: Y = high-Z when G = high; Y = selected data when G = low |
| 16 VCC | Positive supply | Single power rail (2–5.5 V); requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor per TI layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide supply range | 2 V to 5.5 V operation - eliminates need for separate voltage rails in mixed-signal systems |
| 5.5 V-tolerant inputs | Accepts 5 V logic signals even at VCC = 2.5 V - removes external level translators in legacy interface designs |
| Low propagation delay | 7.5 ns max at 5 V - meets timing budgets in 100+ MHz data path control logic |
| High noise immunity | Typical VOLP < 0.8 V and VOHV > 2 V at VCC = 5 V - suppresses ground bounce and undershoot in dense PCB layouts |
| JESD78 Class II latch-up | >100 mA immunity - prevents destructive failure during ESD events or power sequencing glitches |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 2:1 multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVCH157A | Includes bus-hold circuitry on all inputs; identical pinout and electrical specs otherwise | Better suited for systems with unterminated or long trace inputs where floating states must be avoided | Select SN74LVCH157A if input traces exceed 5 cm or lack pull resistors; otherwise SN74LV157ADG4 offers lower quiescent current |
| 74LVC157PW | Same function and pinout but specified only for 1.65–3.6 V VCC; no 5.5 V input tolerance | Restricted to 3.3 V-only systems; cannot interface with 5 V logic without external translation | Choose 74LVC157PW only in fully 3.3 V domains where cost sensitivity outweighs voltage flexibility needs |
Compared with SN74LVCH157A and 74LVC157PW, SN74LV157ADG4 uniquely combines 2–5.5 V operation, 5.5 V-tolerant inputs, and zero-bus-hold leakage-making it optimal for mixed-voltage industrial control where reliability and interface simplicity are prioritized over ultra-low static power.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for SN74LV157ADG4 inputs?
The SN74LV157ADG4 inputs accept voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, enabling direct interfacing with 5 V logic signals even when powered from 2.5 V or 3.3 V supplies. This eliminates the need for external level-shifting circuitry in mixed-voltage systems and is explicitly specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official datasheet.
Does SN74LV157ADG4 support hot insertion?
SN74LV157ADG4 supports hot insertion due to its 5.5 V-tolerant inputs and Ioff protection (≤5 µA at VCC = 0 V), which prevents back-driving powered circuits during live board insertion. The device maintains high-impedance outputs when VCC is unpowered, satisfying JEDEC JESD8-11 requirements for hot-plug capable logic.
What is the typical output ground bounce (VOLP) of SN74LV157ADG4?
The typical output ground bounce (VOLP) of SN74LV157ADG4 is less than 0.8 V at VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C, as measured under standard switching conditions. This low VOLP value minimizes noise coupling into adjacent signal paths and improves signal integrity in high-density PCB layouts with shared ground planes.
Can SN74LV157ADG4 operate reliably at –40°C?
Yes, SN74LV157ADG4 is fully specified and tested for reliable operation across –40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial temperature grade requirements. Its electrical characteristics-including propagation delay, output drive, and input thresholds-are guaranteed over this full range, making it suitable for outdoor telecom equipment and factory automation systems.
Is SN74LV157ADG4 pin-compatible with older 74LS157 variants?
No, SN74LV157ADG4 is not pin-compatible with 74LS157 due to differences in pin assignment: the LS157 uses pin 1 as 1A and pin 2 as 1B, whereas SN74LV157ADG4 assigns pin 1 to A/B select and pins 2–3 to 1A/1B. Physical substitution would cause functional failure; redesign is required for migration from LS to LV families.
