The NXP 74HCT4067N is a high-performance, silicon-gate CMOS device that boasts a remarkable level of integration, encapsulating the functionality of a 16-channel analog multiplexer/demultiplexer. This versatile component is part of the 74HCT family, known for its compatibility with TTL levels, making it an ideal choice for interfacing with legacy systems and devices that operate at TTL voltage levels.

As a multiplexer, the 74HCT4067N can direct one of its 16 input channels to a single output, allowing for efficient data acquisition and signal routing within electronic systems. Conversely, as a demultiplexer, it can channel a single input to any one of the 16 outputs, offering flexibility in signal distribution. This duality of function makes it an indispensable tool for a wide range of applications, including data acquisition systems, analog-to-digital conversion, signal routing, and telecommunications.

The product operates across a broad voltage range from 2V to 6V, which ensures compatibility with a variety of logic families and power supplies. The low "on" resistance of the switch ensures minimal signal distortion, while the "break-before-make" switching mechanism guarantees that no two channels are connected simultaneously, preventing potential signal interference.

Key features of the NXP 74HCT4067N include:

• 16-channel analog multiplexer/demultiplexer
• Wide operating voltage range: 2V to 6V
• TTL logic level compatibility
• Low "on" resistance
• "Break-before-make" switch mechanism
• Low power dissipation
• Latch-up performance that exceeds 100mA per JESD 78 Class II Level A
• ESD protection:
• HBM JESD22-A114F exceeds 2000V
• MM JESD22-A115-A exceeds 200V

The device is housed in a DIP28 (Dual In-line Package) form factor, which allows for easy insertion into standard breadboards and sockets, facilitating rapid prototyping and testing. The 74HCT4067N's robust design ensures that it can withstand the rigors of both development and production environments, making it a reliable choice for any project requiring multiplexing or demultiplexing capabilities.
