The MM74HC253N is a widely used Integrated Circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74HC family. It is a dual 4-channel multiplexer with 3-state outputs, designed to provide high-speed switching capabilities in digital circuits. Here is an overview of the key features of the MM74HC253N:
1. Dual 4-Channel Multiplexer: The MM74HC253N contains two separate 4-channel multiplexers, which can independently select one of the four inputs to route to the output.
2. 3-State Outputs: The outputs of the MM74HC253N are equipped with 3-state functionality. This means that the outputs can be actively driven high or low, or they can be effectively disconnected from the circuit by tri-stating them, allowing multiple devices to share the same bus.
3. High-Speed Operation: The IC operates at a high-speed in the range of 2 MHz to 6 MHz, making it suitable for applications that require rapid switching and data routing.
4. CMOS Technology: The MM74HC253N is built using CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) technology. CMOS technology offers low power consumption, a wide operating voltage range, and increased noise immunity.
5. Wide Voltage Range: The IC can operate within a wide voltage range, from 2V to 6V. This flexibility allows it to be used in various digital circuits powered by different voltage levels
