DESCRIPTION

The 74VHC257 is an advanced high-speed

CMOS

QUAD

2-CHANNEL

MULTIPLEXER

(3-STATE) fabricated with sub-micron silicon gate

It is composed of four independent 2-channel

multiplexers with common SELECT and ENABLE

(OE) INPUT. The VHC257 is a non-inverting

multiplexer. When the ENABLE INPUT is held

"High", all outputs become in high impedance

state. If SELECT INPUT is held "Low", "A" data is

selected, when SELECT INPUT is "High", "B" data

is chosen.

Power down protection is provided on all inputs

and 0 to 7V can be accepted on inputs with no

regard to the supply voltage. This device can be

used to interface 5V to 3V.

All

inputs

and

outputs

are

equipped

with

protection circuits against static discharge, giving

them 2KV ESD immunity and transient excess

voltage.
