The MC74F253DR2 is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the MC74F family of logic gates. It is specifically designed for multiplexer and demultiplexer applications. This IC is manufactured by ON Semiconductor and offers several key features that make it a reliable and versatile choice for various electronic projects.
One of the essential characteristics of the MC74F253DR2 is its ability to act as both a multiplexer and a demultiplexer. This means it can combine multiple input signals into a single output or split a single input signal into multiple outputs, depending on the configuration. This flexibility is highly beneficial in numerous applications, including data routing, signal selection, and data transmission.
The MC74F253DR2 has two independent 4-input multiplexer circuits, each capable of selecting one of four inputs according to the control signals. These control signals determine which input is connected to the output. The IC also provides three-state outputs, allowing the user to effectively isolate the output when necessary.
The operating voltage range for this component is between 4.5V and 5.5V, making it compatible with standard TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) voltage levels. It can operate at high speeds, with a maximum propagation delay of 7.5 ns. This characteristic makes it suitable for use in applications that require fast switching and minimal signal delay
