Product details
Overview
SN74LVC2G157DCUT from Texas Instruments is a single 2-line to 1-line data selector multiplexer in an 8-pin VSSOP package, supporting 1.65-V to 5.5-V supply operation, delivering true and complementary outputs (Y and Y), with 6 ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V and ±24-mA output drive - used for signal routing in sensor interface and digital I/O expansion circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC2G157DCUT datasheet, SN74LVC2G157DCUT pinout, SN74LVC2G157DCUT application, or SN74LVC2G157DCUT equivalent, key selection criteria include Ioff-enabled partial-power-down capability, 5.5-V-tolerant inputs for level translation, low ICC (10 µA max), and NanoFree™-compatible VSSOP packaging for space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC2G157DCUT implements a positive-logic 2:1 multiplexer with active-low common strobe (G) controlling data path enablement: when G is high, both outputs are forced to fixed states (Y = L, Y = H); when G is low, selection between A and B inputs is determined by the A/B control line. It features standard CMOS inputs with 5-pF typical input capacitance and balanced push-pull outputs capable of sourcing/sinking up to 24 mA at 3.3 V.
Its Ioff circuitry ensures outputs enter high-impedance state during power-down, blocking back-drive current and enabling live insertion in hot-swap systems. The device supports down-translation - inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V even when VCC = 1.65 V - and meets JESD 78 Class II latch-up (>100 mA) and JESD 22 ESD ratings (2000-V HBM, 1000-V CDM).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - enables interoperability across mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 1.8-V MCU interfacing with 5-V sensors) |
| Max Propagation Delay | 6 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - supports >100-MHz toggle rates in clean signal paths with ≤50-pF load |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.3 V - drives multiple 74LVC inputs or moderate capacitive loads without buffering |
| Ioff Current | ±10 µA max - prevents damaging back-current flow when VCC = 0, critical for partial-power-down architectures |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V independent of VCC - allows direct connection of 5-V signals to lower-VCC logic without external level shifters |
| ICC Supply Current | 10 µA max - minimizes quiescent power in battery-backed or always-on monitoring nodes |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 1000-V CDM - exceeds industrial IEC 61000-4-2 system-level immunity requirements for board-level robustness |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVC2G157DCUT uses an 8-pin Very Small Outline Package (VSSOP) with 2.30 mm × 2.00 mm body size and 0.5-mm lead pitch. The package supports fine-pitch PCB assembly and thermal performance characterized by RθJA = 289.9°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (A) | Data Input A | Primary source input; routed to Y/Y when A/B = L and G = L |
| 2 (B) | Data Input B | Secondary source input; routed to Y/Y when A/B = H and G = L |
| 3 (Y) | Inverted Output | Complementary output - logic inverse of Y; enables differential signaling or dual-rail logic |
| 4 (GND) | Ground Reference | Return path for all internal logic and output currents; must be low-impedance for noise control |
| 5 (Y) | True Output | Non-inverted output reflecting selected input (A or B); drives downstream logic or analog front-end |
| 6 (A/B) | Input Selector | Control line determining source: A when low, B when high - requires defined logic level, not floating |
| 7 (G) | Common Strobe | Enable/disable control: Y/Y forced to L/H when G = H; data path active only when G = L |
| 8 (VCC) | Positive Supply | Power rail defining logic thresholds and output voltage levels; requires local 0.1-µF bypass capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5.5-V tolerant inputs | Enables direct interfacing of legacy 5-V sensors or microcontrollers to 1.8-V/2.5-V domains without external translators |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Prevents reverse current flow during system sleep or hot-swap events, eliminating need for external isolation switches |
| True + complementary outputs | Provides both Y and Y simultaneously - reduces component count in applications requiring inverted logic (e.g., enable/disable pairs) |
| NanoFree™ VSSOP packaging | Dies-as-packages reduce footprint and thermal resistance vs. traditional plastic packages - ideal for ultra-compact IoT edge nodes |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V) | Maintains signal integrity during fast switching in multi-load configurations, minimizing false triggering in adjacent 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G157DBVR | Single-channel 2:1 mux in SOT-23-6 package; lacks complementary output (Y only); same VCC range and Ioff spec | Requires external inverter if complementary output needed; smaller footprint but higher RθJA (333°C/W) | Select when board space is critical and only true output is required; verify thermal margin in high-density layouts |
| 74LVC2G157GM,132 | Nexperia variant in XSON-8 package; identical logic function and DC specs; slightly higher max tpd (6.5 ns @ 3.3 V) | Same pinout and footprint as DCU; RoHS-compliant with different MSL rating (Level 1 vs TI's Level-1-260C-UNLIM) | Drop-in alternative for supply chain diversification; validate reflow profile compatibility with existing process |
Compared with SN74LVC2G157DCUT, SN74LVC1G157DBVR saves board area but sacrifices design flexibility from missing Y output, while 74LVC2G157GM,132 offers identical functionality with minor timing and packaging differences - making it suitable for second-source qualification without layout change.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the SN74LVC2G157DCUT can tolerate?
The SN74LVC2G157DCUT accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level - enabling direct connection of 5-V signals to systems powered at 1.65–3.3 V without external level-shifting circuitry. This tolerance is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and verified across temperature and process corners.
Does the SN74LVC2G157DCUT support partial-power-down operation?
Yes, the SN74LVC2G157DCUT fully supports partial-power-down via its Ioff feature: when VCC = 0, all outputs enter high-impedance state with leakage limited to ±10 µA, preventing back-current flow from live inputs. This behavior is validated per JESD 78 and documented in Section 8.4 of the datasheet.
What is the function of the G (strobe) pin on the SN74LVC2G157DCUT?
The G pin is a common strobe input that globally enables or disables the multiplexer: when G = HIGH, Y is forced LOW and Y is forced HIGH irrespective of A/B or data inputs; when G = LOW, the device routes either A or B to Y/Y based on the A/B selector. This provides hardware-level gating for synchronous data capture.
Can the SN74LVC2G157DCUT drive a 50-pF capacitive load while meeting timing specs?
Yes - the SN74LVC2G157DCUT is characterized for 50-pF loads at VCC = 3.3 V, delivering ≤6 ns propagation delay. The datasheet explicitly states it meets all specifications with ≤50-pF CMOS loads, and recommends staying ≤70 pF for optimal performance in real-world layouts with trace capacitance.
Is the SN74LVC2G157DCUT pin-compatible with other members of the SN74LVC2Gxx family?
No - the SN74LVC2G157DCUT has a unique 8-pin VSSOP pinout optimized for its 2:1 mux function with true/complementary outputs. Other SN74LVC2Gxx devices (e.g., SN74LVC2G17 buffer or SN74LVC2G74 flip-flop) use different pin assignments and logic functions; direct substitution is not possible without PCB redesign.
