CD74HCT154EN

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Overview

The CD74HCT154EN is a high-speed CMOS logic device functioning as a 4-to-16-line decoder/demultiplexer. It accepts four binary address inputs to select one of sixteen active-low outputs. The circuit includes two enable inputs that must be low to activate the selected output; otherwise, all outputs remain high. This component operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports an industrial temperature range from -55°C to +125°C. It utilizes a 24-pin DIP package.

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EN' corresponds to the Texas Instruments PDIP-24 package configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free material declarations against current manufacturer documentation. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact speed grade and temperature rating required for the target application environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing with LSTTL-compatible logic families requiring wide operating temperature stability. The HCT series ensures TTL input voltage levels are correctly interpreted by the CMOS internal circuitry. Consider the 24-pin DIP form factor for through-hole prototyping or legacy board designs where surface mount options are unsuitable for mechanical constraints.

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders FAQ

How do the enable inputs function during demultiplexing?

One enable input acts as the data input while the other remains low. The selected output follows the data input state only when both enables allow activation.

What is the output polarity of the decoder?

All sixteen outputs are active-low, meaning the selected line goes low while unselected lines remain high.
