74F153PC

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74F153PC is a dual 4-input multiplexer belonging to the F/FAST logic series. It features two independent 4-line-to-1-line data selectors with common select inputs and individual enable (strobe) inputs for each section. The device utilizes TTL technology and provides true outputs. It is housed in a 16-pin Plastic Dual In-Line Package (PDIP). The component is characterized for commercial operation with a maximum operating temperature of 70 °C and a nominal supply voltage of 5 V.

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Feature Summary

• Contains two independent 4-line-to-1-line data selectors sharing common address lines
• Provides individual strobe or enable inputs to control each multiplexer section independently
• Delivers buffered true outputs via high fan-out, low impedance totem pole drivers

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Applications

• Multiplexing multiple data lines into a single transmission path
• Converting parallel data streams into serial format
• Cascading configurations for expanding N-lines to N-lines selection

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Procurement Notes

Verify the package designation matches the specific requirement, as the 'PC' suffix typically indicates a plastic DIP variant. Confirm that the commercial temperature range meets the operational environment limits. Ensure the TTL input compatibility aligns with the driving logic family used in the circuit design to guarantee proper signal levels.

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed switching is required compared to standard LS logic families. The F/FAST series offers faster propagation delays suitable for timing-critical applications. Consider the dual-section architecture if space efficiency is needed for handling two separate 4-channel selection tasks within a single integrated circuit footprint.

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Part Context

This part belongs to the 74F logic family, which represents a high-speed variant of the standard 7400-series digital logic. The 74F153 specifically addresses data routing needs by providing dual multiplexing capabilities. It serves as a functional equivalent to other manufacturers' SN54F153 or SN74F153 devices, maintaining pinout compatibility across the industry-standard F-series multiplexer lineup.

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the SN74F153 from Texas Instruments. Other equivalents may be found under the 74F153 designation from various semiconductor vendors, provided they adhere to the same F/FAST electrical specifications and PDIP-16 package dimensions.
