What are the key features of CD74HCT259MG4?

  • 8-bit addressable D-latch with integrated 1:8 demultiplexer for efficient parallel data storage and output control in TTL-compatible systems
  • HCT CMOS logic family ensures direct interface with 5 V TTL logic levels while consuming significantly lower power than bipolar TTL devices
  • 16-pin SOIC package with 50 pF rated load capacitance supports high fan-out applications in industrial and computing control logic designs

What is CD74HCT259MG4 used for?

The CD74HCT259MG4 is used in microcontroller-based systems requiring addressable output expansion, enabling a 3-bit address bus to independently control 8 latched outputs without additional discrete logic. It is well suited for LED display drivers, relay drivers, and parallel I/O port expansion in industrial control panels and embedded systems operating on a 5 V TTL-compatible supply. The device is also used in legacy logic board designs and instrumentation where HCT-family 8-bit addressable latch functionality must interface cleanly with TTL logic signals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the CD74HCT259MG4 allow a microcontroller to control 8 outputs using only 3 address lines?

The CD74HCT259MG4 incorporates a 1:8 demultiplexer followed by 8-bit D-latches, allowing a 3-bit binary address to select which of the 8 outputs receives the data input. Each selected latch retains its state independently, so the MCU can set any single output without disturbing the other 7 bits, reducing I/O pin usage significantly in 5 V TTL-compatible control systems.

What load capacitance and output current specs should designers account for when using CD74HCT259MG4?

The CD74HCT259MG4 is characterized at a 50 pF load capacitance per output and provides a maximum output sink current of 4 mA (I(ol) = 0.004 A). Designers should ensure that driven loads such as LED arrays or relay drivers do not exceed these limits without external buffer transistors to maintain signal integrity across all 8 output channels.

When is the CD74HCT259MG4 preferred over a standard HC-family 259 latch in a mixed-logic design?

The CD74HCT259MG4 uses the HCT logic family, which accepts TTL-level input thresholds (V(IH) min = 2.0 V), making it directly interoperable with 5 V TTL logic outputs without level-shifting. Standard HC-family devices require CMOS-level inputs (V(IH) min = 3.5 V at 5 V supply), so the HCT variant is the correct choice when the driving logic is TTL rather than full CMOS swing.
