SN74ALS257AN Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The SN74ALS257AN is a 4 x 2:1 multiplexer from Texas Instruments, designed for digital data selection in logic systems. It operates from a single 4.5V to 5.5V supply, making it compatible with standard 5V logic families. The device can sink and source 24mA and 2.6mA respectively, providing adequate drive for bus-oriented applications.

 

This multiplexer is offered in a 16-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) through-hole package, suitable for socketed use or direct soldering on prototyping boards. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C, covering typical commercial environments. The supply voltage tolerance and output currents are specified for reliable operation within these limits.

 

As a single-supply device, the SN74ALS257AN simplifies power rail design compared to dual-supply multiplexers. Its 4 x 2:1 configuration allows two input buses to be selected per group, enabling efficient data routing in microprocessor and memory systems. The package is supplied in tubes of 25 units for moderate volume assembly.
