1. General description

The 74HC257; 74HCT257 is a quad 2-input multiplexer with 3-state outputs. Inputs include clamp

diodes. This enables the use of current limiting resistors to interface inputs to voltages in excess of

VCC.

2. Features and benefits

• Wide supply voltage range from 2.0 V to 6.0 V

• CMOS low power dissipation

• High noise immunity

• Latch-up performance exceeds 100 mA per JESD 78 Class II Level B

• Complies with JEDEC standards:

• JESD8C (2.7 V to 3.6 V)

• JESD7A (2.0 V to 6.0 V)

• Non-inverting data path

• 3-state outputs interface directly with system bus

• Input levels:

• For 74HC257: CMOS level

• For 74HCT257: TTL level

• ESD protection:

• HBM JESD22-A114F exceeds 2000 V

• MM JESD22-A115-A exceeds 200 V

• Specified from -40 °C to +85 °C and from -40 °C to +125 °C
