Product details
Overview
SN74LVC157ADT from Texas Instruments is a quadruple 2-line to 1-line data selector/multiplexer in 16-pin SOIC package, operating from 1.65V to 3.6V supply, with propagation delay as low as 3.0ns at 3.3V, 5.5V-tolerant inputs, and –40°C to 125°C temperature range. It routes four independent 2:1 data paths under common address (A/B) and strobe (G) control, used in bus multiplexing, signal routing, and level translation in mixed-voltage digital systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC157ADT datasheet, SN74LVC157ADT pinout, SN74LVC157ADT application, or SN74LVC157ADT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3V-compatible logic family, 5.5V-tolerant input capability, low propagation delay across voltage/temperature, output drive strength up to ±24mA, and SOIC-16 packaging for legacy PCB compatibility and hand-soldering feasibility.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC157ADT implements four independent 2:1 multiplexer channels sharing one address select (A/B) and one active-low output enable (G). When G is high, all Y outputs are forced low; when G is low, each Yn selects between An and Bn based on A/B state. Inputs accept voltages up to 5.5V regardless of VCC, enabling robust interfacing with 5V logic in 3.3V systems.
Its LVC (Low-Voltage CMOS) process ensures rail-to-rail output swing, low ground bounce (<0.8V typical VOLP), and undershoot immunity (>2V typical VOHV) at 3.3V operation. The device supports three temperature grades: commercial (–40°C to 85°C), extended (–40°C to 125°C), and military (–55°C to 125°C); SN74LVC157ADT is qualified for the extended grade.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 1.65V to 3.6V - enables direct integration into 3.3V I/O domains without level shifters |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 3.0ns max at VCC = 3.3V, TA = 25°C - supports >150MHz data switching in critical timing paths |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5V - allows safe connection to 5V sources without external clamping or translation |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24mA at VCC = 3.0V - sufficient to drive multiple LVC/LVT inputs or short PCB traces |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| ESD Rating | ±2000V HBM - meets JEDEC JESD22-A114 standard for robust handling in assembly |
| Power Dissipation | 500mW max at TA ≤ 70°C (SOIC package) - supports continuous operation without heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVC157ADT uses a 16-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 9.90 mm × 6.00 mm (body: 9.90 mm × 3.90 mm), with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu plating. Thermal resistance RθJA is 118.1°C/W, requiring moderate PCB copper area for thermal management at full load.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | G (Strobe) | Active-low global output enable; high forces all Y outputs low regardless of A/B or data inputs |
| 2–3, 5–6, 10–11, 13–14 | 1A/1B, 2A/2B, 3A/3B, 4A/4B | Eight independent data inputs - two per channel, selectable via A/B |
| 4, 7, 9, 12 | 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y | Four buffered, non-inverting outputs - each reflects selected A or B input when G is low |
| 8 | GND | Digital ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance path |
| 15 | A/B | Common address select - determines whether A or B input is routed to each Y output |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply - bypassed with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed within 3mm of pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5.5V-tolerant inputs | Enables direct interface with 5V logic in 3.3V systems without external level translators |
| Low propagation delay | 3.0ns typical at 3.3V allows use in high-speed data routing and real-time control loops |
| Wide temperature operation | –40°C to 125°C rating supports deployment in automotive engine control units and industrial PLCs |
| High noise immunity | Typical VOLP < 0.8V and VOHV > 2V at 3.3V reduce false triggering in noisy environments |
| Low quiescent current | ICC ≤ 10µA at VCC = 3.6V minimizes standby power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive designs |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Multiplexing | Automotive Body Control Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 2:1 multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LV157ADR | LV family: wider 2.0V–5.5V VCC range but higher tpd (6.5ns min at 3.3V); no 5.5V input tolerance | Preferred where 5V supply is available and lower speed suffices; unsuitable for 5V-to-3.3V translation | Choose SN74LV157ADR only if system operates at ≥4.5V or requires LV-specific noise margins |
| 74AHC157PW | AHC family: 2.0V–5.5V VCC, 5.5V-tolerant inputs, but slower (7.5ns min at 4.5V); TSSOP-16 package only | Better for 5V systems; lacks extended temperature qualification (–40°C to 125°C not guaranteed) | Choose 74AHC157PW only for cost-sensitive 5V-only designs where SOIC footprint is not required |
Compared with SN74LV157ADR and 74AHC157PW, the SN74LVC157ADT uniquely combines 1.65V–3.6V operation, 5.5V-tolerant inputs, sub-5ns speed, and extended temperature qualification - making it the sole option for compact, thermally constrained 3.3V systems requiring mixed-voltage interoperability.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the SN74LVC157ADT can tolerate?
The SN74LVC157ADT accepts input voltages up to 5.5V regardless of VCC level, enabling safe interfacing with 5V logic families in 3.3V systems without external protection. This specification is verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official TI datasheet SCAS292S, and applies to all input pins (A/B, 1A–4B, G) under normal operating conditions.
Does the SN74LVC157ADT support operation at 1.8V supply?
Yes, the SN74LVC157ADT is fully specified for 1.65V to 3.6V VCC operation. At 1.8V, it delivers guaranteed tpd ≤13.5ns (max), VIH ≤1.17V, and VIL ≥0.63V per Section 4.4 of the datasheet, making it suitable for ultra-low-power 1.8V microcontroller interfaces and portable electronics.
What is the thermal performance of the SN74LVC157ADT in SOIC package?
The SN74LVC157ADT in SOIC (D) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 118.1°C/W. At 500mW max power dissipation and 25°C ambient, junction temperature reaches ~61°C - well within safe limits. Derating begins above 70°C at 8mW/K, requiring minimal copper pour for most applications.
Can unused inputs on the SN74LVC157ADT be left floating?
No. All unused inputs on the SN74LVC157ADT must be tied to VCC or GND to prevent undefined logic states and increased ICC. TI explicitly recommends this in Section 4.3 and Section 7.2.1 of the datasheet; floating inputs cause excessive current draw and potential oscillation due to CMOS threshold sensitivity.
Is the SN74LVC157ADT pin-compatible with older 74LS157 devices?
No. While functionally equivalent as a quadruple 2:1 multiplexer, the SN74LVC157ADT uses different pin assignments: G (strobe) is on Pin 1, A/B on Pin 15, and VCC on Pin 16 - unlike 74LS157 which places VCC on Pin 16 but uses different signal mapping and lacks 5.5V-tolerant inputs. PCB redesign is required for replacement.
