Product details
Overview
SNJ54HC157FK from Texas Instruments is a quadruple 2-line to 1-line data selector/multiplexer in LCCC-20 package, operating across −55°C to +125°C with 2V–6V supply, 11ns typical propagation delay at 6V, ±6mA output drive, and low 80µA max ICC. It routes four independent 2:1 data paths under shared A/B address and active-low strobe (G) control, used in military-grade bus switching and logic-level signal routing.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ54HC157FK datasheet, SNJ54HC157FK pinout, SNJ54HC157FK application, or SNJ54HC157FK equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, LCCC-20 terminal mapping, functional mode truth table, military temperature-range operation details, and direct alternatives for high-reliability multiplexer selection.
Technical Context
The SNJ54HC157FK implements four independent CMOS 2:1 multiplexers sharing one address select (A/B) input and one active-low strobe (G) input. All outputs go low when G is high, enabling synchronous channel blanking. Its TTL-compatible inputs accept standard logic thresholds while maintaining CMOS power efficiency.
It operates asynchronously with no internal clock; each Y output directly reflects the selected input (A or B) per channel, conditioned only by G state. Propagation delay varies with VCC (11ns typ. at 6V, 25°C, CL = 50pF) and load capacitance, with guaranteed performance over full military temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2V to 6V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and legacy 5V logic compatibility |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +125°C - qualified for military/aerospace applications per SN54 prefix |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 11ns typical at 6V, 25°C, CL = 50pF - enables ≤45MHz data switching in critical timing paths |
| Output Drive | ±6mA at 5V - drives 15 LSTTL loads or moderate capacitive loads without buffering |
| Quiescent Current (ICC) | 80µA maximum - ensures ultra-low static power in battery-backed or standby systems |
| Input Leakage Current | ±1µA maximum - minimizes voltage divider errors in high-impedance bias networks |
| Logic Family | High-speed CMOS (HC) - provides noise immunity, rail-to-rail swing, and TTL-compatible thresholds |
Pinout & Package
LCCC-20 (FK) ceramic package: 8.89 mm × 8.45 mm body, 20 leads, hermetically sealed, leadless, surface-mount compatible with solder reflow or epoxy bonding. Designed for high-reliability, high-temperature, and radiation-tolerant environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 | Signal I/O | Correspond to A/B, 1A–4A, 1B–4B, 1Y–4Y, G - all digital logic terminals; pin numbering follows TI FK-package top-view layout |
| 8, 20 | GND | Dual ground terminals - required for low-noise operation and thermal dissipation in LCCC |
| 19 | VCC | Single positive supply terminal - must be decoupled locally with 0.1µF capacitor per TI layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad 2:1 multiplexing | Four independent channels share one A/B select and one G strobe - reduces control logic and PCB routing vs. discrete muxes |
| Active-low strobe (G) | Forces all Y outputs LOW regardless of A/B or data inputs - enables synchronized channel disable or bus contention prevention |
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH = 3.15V min at VCC = 4.5V - interoperates directly with 74LS/74F logic without level shifters |
| Low input capacitance | Ci = 10pF max - minimizes loading on upstream drivers and preserves signal edge integrity |
| Military-grade qualification | SN54 prefix, −55°C to +125°C operation, 5962-86061012A part marking - meets MIL-PRF-38535 requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quadruple 2:1 multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC157N | PDIP-16, commercial temp (−40°C to +85°C), same logic function and pinout except LCCC-20 vs. PDIP-16 footprint | Used in lab prototypes and non-military industrial systems where hermeticity and extended temperature not required | Select SN74HC157N for cost-sensitive, non-ruggedized designs with standard through-hole assembly. |
| CD74HC157E | PDIP-16, identical electrical specs but manufactured by TI under different part-numbering scheme; RoHS-compliant, same 2V–6V range | Preferred for new commercial designs requiring RoHS compliance and TI's latest process revision | Choose CD74HC157E when RoHS compliance and modern packaging logistics outweigh legacy military qualification needs. |
Compared with SNJ54HC157FK, SN74HC157N offers lower cost and easier prototyping but lacks military temperature range and hermetic sealing; CD74HC157E matches electrical behavior and adds RoHS compliance but omits SN54-level screening and extended reliability testing.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the SNJ54HC157FK?
The SNJ54HC157FK operates from −55°C to +125°C, meeting MIL-PRF-38535 Class B requirements. This extended range is enabled by its SN54 prefix, ceramic LCCC-20 package, and high-temperature silicon process - confirmed in TI's SCLS113F datasheet Section 4.2. The SNJ54HC157FK is fully characterized across this range for propagation delay, drive strength, and leakage current.
Does the SNJ54HC157FK have pin-to-pin compatibility with other HC157 variants?
No - the SNJ54HC157FK uses a 20-pin LCCC (FK) package, while most other HC157 variants (e.g., SN74HC157N, CD74HC157E) use 16-pin packages like PDIP or SOIC. Pin count, layout, and terminal assignment differ fundamentally; the SNJ54HC157FK requires dedicated PCB footprint and layout per TI's mechanical drawings in Section 10.
What is the function of the G (strobe) input on the SNJ54HC157FK?
The G input on the SNJ54HC157FK is an active-low strobe that forces all four Y outputs LOW regardless of A/B select state or input data values. This enables synchronized channel blanking, bus isolation, or safe power-up sequencing - a key feature confirmed in the Function Table (Table 6-1) and Description section of the SNJ54HC157FK datasheet.
Can the SNJ54HC157FK drive LSTTL loads directly?
Yes - the SNJ54HC157FK can drive up to 15 LSTTL loads, as stated in its Features list. This is supported by its ±6mA output drive capability at 5V (Section 4.4 Electrical Characteristics) and TTL-compatible input thresholds, allowing direct interface with legacy 74LS-series logic without level-shifting circuitry.
Is the SNJ54HC157FK RoHS compliant?
No - the SNJ54HC157FK uses SNPB (tin-lead) lead finish and is marked "No" for RoHS in TI's Packaging Addendum. It is intended for military/aerospace applications where Pb-based finishes are permitted and preferred for solder joint reliability under thermal cycling. For RoHS-compliant alternatives, consider CD74HC157E or SN74HC157DR.
