The 74LCX257MTC is an advanced high-speed quadruple 2-input multiplexer IC (integrated circuit) commonly used in digital applications. Manufactured by reputable semiconductor companies like Texas Instruments, this component is part of the 74LCX series known for its low-voltage CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) technology that provides efficient power consumption and excellent noise immunity.
Featuring 16 pins in a TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) package, the 74LCX257MTC is designed to handle high-speed data selection, routing, and signal multiplexing tasks. It offers four independent 2-input multiplexers that can be controlled simultaneously or independently. Each multiplexer has two data inputs (I0 and I1) and one common data output (Y). The component also provides two select input pins (S0 and S1), which determine the active input channel.
Key Features:
1. Low-Voltage Operation: The 74LCX257MTC operates within a wide operating voltage range of 1.65V to 3.6V, making it ideal for low-power applications and portable devices.
2. High-Speed Operation: This IC supports high-speed switching with a typical propagation delay of only 3.7 nanoseconds. This feature ensures quick data routing and minimizes delays in signal transmission
