The SN74LS298D is an integrated circuit (IC) component designed for use in digital circuits. It is a quad 2-input multiplexer with storage registers, manufactured by Texas Instruments. The device is commonly used in applications that require the selection of one input among multiple choices.
Key Features:
1. Multiplexer Function: The SN74LS298D is primarily a multiplexer. It features four 2-input multiplexers that can independently select a single output from two input lines. This functionality allows for flexible data routing in digital systems.
2. Register Storage: Additionally, each 2-input multiplexer has an associated register, enabling the storage of data. This feature is useful when there is a need to temporarily hold or delay inputs before processing or forwarding.
3. Schottky TTL Technology: The SN74LS298D uses Schottky transistor-transistor logic (TTL) technology. This technology enables high-speed operation and low power consumption, making it suitable for applications that require quick processing.
4. Wide Operating Voltage Range: The IC can operate within a wide voltage range, from 4.5 to 5.25 volts. This allows it to be compatible with various digital systems and supply voltages.
5. 16-Pin Package: The SN74LS298D is available in a 16-pin DIP (Dual Inline Package). This package style provides a standard and easily mountable form factor for integration onto circuit boards
