DM74ALS158N

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Overview

The DM74ALS158N is a Quad 1-of-2 Line Data Selector/Multiplexer from the ALS series, manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It features four independent multiplexers, each selecting one of two data inputs based on a common select line. The device utilizes TTL logic levels and provides inverted outputs. It is housed in a 16-lead Plastic Dual-In-Line (PDIP) package with a 0.300-inch width, compliant with JEDEC MS-001 standards. The component operates within a standard temperature range and is lead-free.
