1. General description
The 74LVC257A is a quad 2-input multiplexer with 3-state outputs, which select 4 bits of
data from two sources and are controlled by a comm on data sele ct input (pin S). The dat a
inputs from source 0 (pins 1I0 to 4I0) are selected when pin S is LOW and the data inputs
from source 1 (pins 1I1 to 4I1) are selected when pin S is HIGH. Data appears at the
outputs (pins 1Y to 4Y) in true (non-inverting) form from the selected inputs. The device is
the logic implementation of a 4-pole, 2-position switch, where the position of the switch is
determined by the logic levels applied to pin S. The outputs are forced to a
high-impedance OFF-state when pin OE is HIGH.
Inputs can be driven from either 3.3 V or 5.0 V devices. When disabled, up to 5.5 V can be
applied to the outputs. These features allow the use of these devices as translators in
mixed 3.3 V and 5 V applications.
2. Features and benefits
5 V tolerant inputs/outputs, for interfacing with 5 V logic
Wide supply voltage range from 1.2 V to 3.6 V
CMOS low-power consumption
Direct interface with TTL levels
Output drive capability 50 transmission lines at 85 C
Complies with JEDEC standard:
JESD8-7A (1.65 V to 1.95 V)
JESD8-5A (2.3 V to 2.7 V)
JESD8-C/JESD36 (2.7 V to 3.6 V)
ESD protection:
HBM JESD22-A114F exceeds 2000 V
MM JESD22-A115B exceeds 200 V
CDM JESD22-C101E exceeds 1000 V
Specified from 40 C to +85 C and 40 C to +125 C

pad using conductive die attach material. There is no
electrical or mechanical requirement to solder this pad.
However, if it is soldered, the solder land should remain

customer(s). NXP does not accept any liability in this respect.
Limiting values — Stress above one or more limiting values (as defined in
the Absolute Maximum Ratings System of IEC 60134) will cause permanent
damage to the device. Limiting values are stress rating s only and (proper)
operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those given in
the Recommended operating conditions section (if present) or the
Characteristics sections of this document is not warranted. Constant or
repeated exposure to limiting values will permanent ly and irreversibly affect
the quality and reliability of the device.
Terms and conditions of commercial sale — NXP Semiconductors
products are sold subject to the general terms and conditions of commercial
