Additional Details:

The TC74HC157AP features four independent 2-input multiplexers, each with its own select input. The select input determines which of the two inputs is routed to the output. The device also includes an output enable control, which allows for disabling the output. When the output enable is high, the output is disabled. The TC74HC157AP is typically packaged in a DIP (Dual In-Line Package) or SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package.
