ON Semiconductor MC74LVX257DTR2G Quad 2-Input Multiplexer

The ON Semiconductor MC74LVX257DTR2G is a high-performance, quad 2-input multiplexer integrated circuit that is designed to provide efficient data routing functionality in digital systems. This multiplexer is part of the advanced low-voltage CMOS technology family, which is renowned for its low power consumption and high-speed operation. The device is suitable for a wide range of applications, including data routing in communication systems, signal gating, and as a function generator in computing environments.

The MC74LVX257DTR2G features four individual 2-input multiplexers with common select and enable inputs. Each multiplexer can select one of the two inputs to pass through to the output based on the state of the select input. Additionally, the enable input can be used to turn off the output, placing it in a high-impedance state. This feature is particularly useful for implementing bus-oriented systems where multiple outputs need to be connected to a common bus without causing contention.

With its operating voltage range of 2.0V to 3.6V, the MC74LVX257DTR2G is optimized for low-voltage applications and is fully compatible with TTL levels. Its low quiescent current ensures minimal power consumption when the device is not actively switching. The high-speed performance of the multiplexer is evident with its typical propagation delay of only 4.5ns at 3.3V, making it an excellent choice for high-speed data processing and communication systems.

The MC74LVX257DTR2G comes in a TSSOP-16 package, which is known for its compact footprint and suitability for space-constrained applications. This package type also aids in improved thermal performance and reduced inductance, enhancing the overall reliability of the device.

ON Semiconductor's commitment to quality is reflected in the MC74LVX257DTR2G, as it meets the stringent requirements of industrial temperature ranges and offers ESD protection to ensure robustness in harsh environments. This multiplexer is a versatile and reliable component that can be integrated into various digital applications where efficient data routing and low power consumption are critical.
