DM74ALS253MX

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Overview

The DM74ALS253MX is a dual 4-input multiplexer with 3-STATE outputs belonging to the Advanced Low-power Schottky (ALS) logic family. Manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor, this component features two independent multiplexing circuits that select data from four sources using common select inputs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and exhibits a propagation delay of 14 ns. The device is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package and supports surface mount installation.
