Product details
Overview
SN74LVC157AQDRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-qualified quadruple 2-line to 1-line data selector/multiplexer operating from 2V to 3.6V, with 5.4ns max propagation delay at 3.3V, 5.5V-tolerant inputs, and active-low output strobe (G). It routes four independent 2:1 data paths in vehicle body control, powertrain sensor interface, and ADAS domain controller signal routing.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC157AQDRQ1 datasheet, SN74LVC157AQDRQ1 pinout, SN74LVC157AQDRQ1 application, or SN74LVC157AQDRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (–40°C to +125°C), 5.5V input tolerance enabling mixed-voltage translation, low ground bounce (<0.8V), and WQFN/SOIC/TSSOP package options for space-constrained automotive PCBs.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC157AQDRQ1 implements positive-logic 2:1 multiplexing per channel with a shared active-low strobe (G) that forces all outputs low when high. Its four independent channels each accept true (non-inverted) data from two sources (A/B), selected by the common A/B address line.
It operates within 2V–3.6V VCC, supports 5.5V-tolerant inputs regardless of supply voltage, and delivers rail-to-rail CMOS-compatible outputs. The device meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements and exceeds 2000V HBM ESD protection, making it suitable for harsh automotive environments where voltage transients and thermal cycling are routine.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2V to 3.6V - Enables direct integration into 3.3V automotive domains without level-shifting. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5V - Allows interfacing with legacy 5V microcontrollers or sensors without external translators. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 5.4ns at 3.3V - Supports high-speed digital signal routing in real-time control loops (e.g., motor phase selection). |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - Qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood and cabin ECUs. |
| ESD Rating | ±2000V HBM - Meets automotive system-level ESD robustness requirements per ISO 10605. |

Pinout & Package
SN74LVC157AQDRQ1 is available in SOIC (D), TSSOP (PW), and WQFN (BQB) packages. The SOIC-16 variant (e.g., SN74LVC157ADRQ1) measures 9.90 mm × 6.00 mm with 1.27 mm pitch; the WQFN-16 (e.g., SN74LVC157AWBQBRQ1) is 3.5 mm × 2.5 mm with 0.5 mm pitch and exposed thermal pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A/B | Address select input | Single control line selecting between Input A or Input B across all four channels simultaneously. |
| G | Active-low output strobe | Global enable: drives all Y outputs low when high; enables multiplexed output when low. |
| 1A–4A, 1B–4B | Data inputs | Eight independent 3.3V/5V-tolerant inputs - four A-side and four B-side signals per channel. |
| 1Y–4Y | Data outputs | Four CMOS-compatible outputs, each sourcing/sinking ±24mA at 3V, with <0.8V ground bounce. |
| VCC | Positive supply | Single 2V–3.6V rail powering all logic; requires local 0.1μF bypass capacitor. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for logic and output currents; thermal pad in WQFN must be soldered to PCB ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C) - Validated for engine control, transmission, and ADAS applications. |
| 5.5V-tolerant inputs | Operates with 5V logic driving 3.3V domain - eliminates discrete level shifters in mixed-voltage systems. |
| Low propagation delay | 5.4ns max at 3.3V - Enables sub-200MHz data switching for time-critical sensor arbitration. |
| Output ground bounce control | Typical VOLP < 0.8V at VCC = 3.3V - Reduces noise coupling into adjacent analog or RF circuits. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 2:1 multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC157A | Non-automotive catalog version; same electrical specs but not AEC-Q100 qualified. | Not approved for safety-critical automotive functions; limited to infotainment or non-ECU applications. | Select SN74LVC157A only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where qualification is unnecessary. |
| MC74LCX157DTG | Pin-compatible but rated for –40°C to +85°C only; lower ESD rating (1500V HBM); no AEC-Q100 documentation. | Suitable for industrial or consumer use, but lacks automotive reliability validation and thermal margin. | Use MC74LCX157DTG only if operating ambient stays below 85°C and ESD environment is controlled. |
Compared with SN74LVC157A and MC74LCX157DTG, SN74LVC157AQDRQ1 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, 5.5V input tolerance, and 5.4ns propagation delay - making it the only option certified for under-hood real-time control where thermal resilience and signal integrity are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for SN74LVC157AQDRQ1?
The absolute maximum VCC rating for SN74LVC157AQDRQ1 is 6.5V, but the recommended operating range is strictly 2V to 3.6V per the datasheet. Operating outside this range may compromise AEC-Q100 qualification compliance, timing behavior, and long-term reliability. Always maintain VCC within 2V–3.6V for full specification guarantee in automotive applications.
Does SN74LVC157AQDRQ1 support 5V logic inputs?
Yes, SN74LVC157AQDRQ1 accepts input voltages up to 5.5V regardless of VCC level - a key feature enabling seamless interfacing with 5V microcontrollers or sensors in 3.3V automotive domains. This eliminates external level shifters and reduces BOM count while maintaining signal integrity and timing accuracy.
What is the function of the G pin on SN74LVC157AQDRQ1?
The G pin on SN74LVC157AQDRQ1 is an active-low output strobe. When G is high, all four Y outputs are forced low regardless of A/B or data inputs. When G is low, the multiplexer operates normally, routing selected inputs to outputs. This enables global output disable for bus arbitration or power sequencing in multi-device systems.
Which package variants are available for SN74LVC157AQDRQ1?
SN74LVC157AQDRQ1 is offered in three qualified packages: SOIC-16 (D), TSSOP-16 (PW), and WQFN-16 (BQB). The WQFN variant features a 3.5mm × 2.5mm footprint and exposed thermal pad for improved heat dissipation - ideal for space-constrained, thermally demanding automotive modules.
Is SN74LVC157AQDRQ1 compatible with standard SN74LVC157A footprints?
No - SN74LVC157AQDRQ1 itself is not a package designation; it is a family identifier. Specific orderables like SN74LVC157ADRQ1 (SOIC) and SN74LVC157AQPWRQ1 (TSSOP) share identical pinouts with their non-Q1 counterparts (e.g., SN74LVC157ADR and SN74LVC157APWR), but the WQFN variant (SN74LVC157AWBQBRQ1) has a different layout and requires unique PCB land pattern per TI's SLUA271 guidelines.
