MC74AC153N

Overview

The MC74AC153N is a high-speed dual 4-input multiplexer manufactured by Motorola (NXP) in the AC series. It features common select inputs and individual enable inputs for each section, packaged in a 16-pin DIP plastic housing. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C. It utilizes CMOS technology and provides buffered outputs in the true (non-inverted) form.

Feature Summary

• High-speed dual 4-input multiplexer functionality with common select lines
• Individual enable inputs for independent section control
• CMOS technology ensuring low power consumption and high noise immunity

Applications

• Data routing between multiple sources
• Function generation for logic variables
• Parallel-to-serial data conversion

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as Motorola's semiconductor operations were acquired by NXP. Confirm the package type matches the required DIP-16 configuration and check RoHS compliance status against current production batches. Ensure the part number suffix corresponds to the standard through-hole variant rather than surface-mount options.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual multiplexer with non-inverted outputs is required. Compare with the MC74AC352 if inverted outputs are needed instead. Verify that the 2V to 6V supply range meets system requirements and that the DIP-16 package fits the PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74AC logic family, known for high speed and wide voltage operation compared to standard 74HC or 74LS series. It serves as a functional equivalent to other dual 4-input multiplexers but offers distinct performance characteristics typical of AC-series CMOS devices.
