Product details
Overview
SN74LVC157AQPWREP from Texas Instruments is a radiation-hardened, extended-temperature quadruple 2-line to 1-line data selector/multiplexer IC operating from 2 V to 3.6 V, with 5.4 ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V, 5.5 V-tolerant inputs, and −40°C to 125°C operation-used in avionics data routing and FPGA I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC157AQPWREP datasheet, SN74LVC157AQPWREP pinout, SN74LVC157AQPWREP application, or SN74LVC157AQPWREP equivalent, key selection considerations include voltage translation capability (3.3 V/5 V mixed-system compatibility), guaranteed low ground bounce (<0.8 V) and undershoot (>2 V) at 3.3 V, and TSSOP-16 packaging for high-density board layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent 2:1 multiplexers sharing a common active-low strobe (G) and select (A/B) control. When G is high, all Y outputs are forced low regardless of A/B or data inputs; when G is low, the A/B signal selects between two parallel 4-bit input buses (1A–4A vs. 1B–4B) to drive corresponding true outputs (1Y–4Y).
It uses LVC-series CMOS logic with TTL-compatible input thresholds, supports hot-swap capable inputs (VI up to 5.5 V while VCC = 2–3.6 V), and meets enhanced product qualification per JEDEC standards including HAST, temperature cycling, and bond intermetallic life testing for space-grade reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 3.6 V - Enables direct interface with 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - Allows safe connection to legacy 5 V drivers in mixed-voltage systems. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 5.4 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - Supports >100 MHz data switching in timing-critical routing paths. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at VCC = 3 V - Sufficient to drive multiple LVC/LVT inputs or short PCB traces without buffering. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to 125°C - Qualified for engine-control units, satellite payload interfaces, and downhole instrumentation. |
| ESD Protection | >2000 V HBM, >200 V MM - Reduces risk of handling damage during assembly and field maintenance. |
| Power Dissipation Cap | 16 pF typical Cpd at 3.3 V - Predictable dynamic power consumption for thermal modeling in sealed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 package (PW), 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad not present, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (A/B) | Common select control | Determines whether A-inputs (low) or B-inputs (high) are routed to outputs; shared across all four channels. |
| 2–5 (1A–4A) | Data input group A | First 4-bit source bus; each connects to corresponding Y output when A/B = low. |
| 6–9 (1B–4B) | Data input group B | Second 4-bit source bus; each connects to corresponding Y output when A/B = high. |
| 10 (G) | Active-low enable/strobe | Overrides A/B; forces all Y outputs low when high - enables global disable for bus arbitration. |
| 11–14 (1Y–4Y) | True multiplexer outputs | 4-bit routed output bus; no inversion; driven only when G = low and A/B selects valid source. |
| 15 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all I/O and internal logic; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 16 (VCC) | Supply rail | Single 2–3.6 V supply powers entire logic array and I/O buffers; decoupling required within 10 mm. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voltage translation capability | Accepts 5 V inputs while powered from 2.7–3.6 V - eliminates external level shifters in mixed-supply backplanes. |
| Controlled output switching | Guaranteed <0.8 V ground bounce and >2 V VOH undershoot at 3.3 V - prevents false triggering in adjacent high-speed logic. |
| Extended-temperature qualification | JEDEC-qualified for −40°C to 125°C with HAST, temperature cycle, and electromigration testing - suitable for uncooled aerospace modules. |
| Low static current | 10 µA max ICC at VCC = 3.6 V - reduces quiescent power in always-on telemetry subsystems. |
| Hot-swap tolerant inputs | No damage or latch-up when VI = 0 V to 5.5 V under any VCC condition - supports live insertion in modular avionics racks. |
Applications
| Avionics Data Bus Multiplexing | FPGA I/O Expansion Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Routing sensor telemetry (pressure, temp, IMU) from dual-redundant ADC banks to a single flight computer interface under DO-254 constraints. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad 2:1 mux provides fail-operational data path selection with G-strobe enabling synchronized switchover.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for SN74LVC157AQPWREP?
The SN74LVC157AQPWREP supports input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level - a key feature enabling safe interfacing with 5 V legacy components in mixed-voltage systems. This tolerance is specified across the full operating temperature range (−40°C to 125°C) and does not require external clamping diodes. The absolute maximum rating is 6.5 V, but sustained operation above 5.5 V is not recommended per TI's recommended operating conditions.
Does SN74LVC157AQPWREP support hot-swap or live-insertion scenarios?
Yes, the SN74LVC157AQPWREP is designed for hot-swap compatibility: its inputs tolerate 0 V to 5.5 V under all VCC conditions (2 V to 3.6 V), and it exhibits no latch-up behavior per JEDEC JESD78 testing. This allows safe insertion into powered backplanes - critical for modular avionics and repairable vehicle ECUs. The device also features >200 V machine-model ESD protection, further enhancing robustness during handling and field replacement.
What is the function of the G (strobe) pin on SN74LVC157AQPWREP?
The G pin on SN74LVC157AQPWREP is an active-low enable/strobe that globally disables all four multiplexer outputs. When G is high, all Y outputs are forced low irrespective of A/B state or input values - providing deterministic bus isolation. When G is low, normal 2:1 selection resumes based on the A/B control signal. This feature enables synchronized data gating in fault-tolerant architectures and simplifies arbitration logic in multi-master systems.
How does SN74LVC157AQPWREP differ from the commercial SN74LVC157APWRE?
The SN74LVC157AQPWREP differs from SN74LVC157APWRE in three verified aspects: (1) extended temperature range (−40°C to 125°C vs. −40°C to 85°C), (2) enhanced product qualification including HAST, temperature cycling, and electromigration testing, and (3) controlled baseline manufacturing with single assembly/test site and DMS support. All electrical parameters, pinout, and package are identical - making SN74LVC157AQPWREP a drop-in upgrade for high-reliability deployments.
Is SN74LVC157AQPWREP pin-compatible with other TI multiplexers like SN74LS157 or SN74HC157?
No, SN74LVC157AQPWREP is not pin-compatible with SN74LS157 (TTL, 16-pin PDIP/SOIC) or SN74HC157 (high-speed CMOS, same pinout but different VCC range and drive strength). While all share the same logic function and 16-pin TSSOP footprint, SN74LVC157AQPWREP requires strict adherence to 2–3.6 V VCC and exhibits 5.5 V-tolerant inputs - unlike LS (4.75–5.25 V) or HC (2–6 V) variants. Direct substitution without voltage and timing validation will cause functional failure.
