74AC153PC

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74AC153PC is a dual 4-input multiplexer from the AC series, housed in a 16-lead Plastic Dual-In-Line Package (PDIP). It operates with a supply voltage range of 2.0V to 6.0V and features common select inputs with individual enable controls for each section. The device provides true, non-inverted outputs capable of sourcing or sinking 24mA. It supports commercial temperature ranges up to 85°C and includes a load capacitance specification of 50pF.

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Feature Summary

• High-speed dual 4-input multiplexer architecture with common select lines
• Individual enable inputs allow independent control of each multiplexer section
• Buffered outputs present data in true form without inversion
• Capable of generating any two functions of three variables

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Applications

• Data routing between multiple sources
• Function generation using three variable inputs
• Parallel-to-serial data conversion circuits

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant, as the 'PC' suffix typically denotes a plastic DIP. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as older Fairchild stock may differ from current manufacturing runs. Ensure the supplier provides the official datasheet to validate electrical characteristics against your system requirements before finalizing procurement.

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-speed dual multiplexer with true outputs is required. The AC series offers improved speed over standard LS logic while maintaining CMOS power efficiency. Verify that the 24mA output drive capability meets the load requirements of the destination circuitry and that the 16-pin DIP package fits the available board space.

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Part Context

This part belongs to the 74AC family of advanced CMOS logic devices. It shares functional compatibility with other 74-series multiplexers but utilizes CMOS technology for lower power consumption and higher switching speeds compared to TTL equivalents like the 74LS153. The dual configuration allows two independent 4-to-1 selection operations within a single integrated circuit.
