Frequently Asked Questions
What is the function of the CD74HC251MG4?
The CD74HC251MG4 is an 8-to-1 data selector and multiplexer. A 3-bit binary address selects which of the eight data inputs (D0 to D7) is routed to the Y output. The active-LOW strobe input enables or disables the output, placing it in high-impedance state when de-asserted for bus-sharing applications.
What is the supply voltage range for the CD74HC251MG4?
The CD74HC251MG4 operates from a supply voltage of 2V to 6V, making it compatible with 3.3V CMOS microcontrollers and 5V TTL-compatible systems alike. The HC family provides good noise immunity at all supply voltages within this range.
How does the three-state output of the CD74HC251MG4 work?
When the active-LOW output enable (OE-bar) is asserted LOW, the selected input signal is driven to the Y output. When OE-bar is HIGH, the Y output enters a high-impedance (floating) state, effectively disconnecting the device from the bus and allowing other devices to drive the same line without conflict.
What package does the CD74HC251MG4 use?
The CD74HC251MG4 is housed in a 16-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) surface-mount package, which is compatible with standard automated PCB assembly processes and widely used in industrial, commercial, and consumer digital electronics designs.
