What are the key features of SN54LS258BJ?

  • Quad 2-to-1 multiplexer with 4 independent selection functions
  • Tri-state outputs for direct bus sharing without external buffers
  • LS TTL family with 5 V supply operation
  • 2-bit data width per multiplexer section
  • 16-pin ceramic DIP for high-reliability, military-grade applications
  • 45 pF rated load capacitance for stable signal integrity

What is SN54LS258BJ used for?

The SN54LS258B is used in bus arbitration and data routing circuits in industrial controllers, military electronics, and legacy computing systems where TTL-compatible quad multiplexers are required. Its tri-state outputs allow multiple devices to share a common bus without bus contention, supporting applications in address multiplexing and parallel data selection in 5 V logic environments. The ceramic DIP package provides thermal stability and moisture resistance suited for extended operating temperature ranges in harsh-environment deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many multiplexer channels does the SN54LS258BJ provide, and what data width does each handle?

The SN54LS258BJ integrates 4 independent 2-to-1 multiplexer channels, each handling a 2-bit data width. Each channel selects between two input sources based on a common select line, enabling designers to route 4 pairs of 2-bit signals onto a shared output bus using a single 16-pin IC.

Why are tri-state outputs important for the SN54LS258B in bus-sharing applications?

Tri-state outputs allow the SN54LS258B's outputs to be driven to a high-impedance state when not actively selected, preventing bus contention when multiple devices are connected to the same signal lines. This feature is essential in address multiplexing and shared memory bus designs where several ICs must share the same 4 mA-capable output lines without fighting each other.

What logic family does the SN54LS258B belong to, and what supply voltage is required?

The SN54LS258B belongs to the LS (Low-power Schottky) TTL logic family, which operates from a 5 V supply. The LS family offers reduced power consumption compared to standard TTL, while maintaining compatibility with other 5 V TTL and CMOS devices, making it a common choice for legacy system maintenance and military electronics applications.

For a military-grade digital design, what advantages does the SN54LS258B's ceramic DIP package offer over plastic DIP?

The SN54LS258BJ's ceramic DIP package provides superior hermetic sealing against moisture and corrosive gases compared to plastic DIP, which is critical for military avionics, space, and defense electronics operating in humid or high-altitude environments. Ceramic packages also offer better thermal conductivity and a wider operating temperature range, typically -55°C to +125°C.

Can the SN54LS258B interface with modern 3.3 V CMOS logic without a level translator?

The SN54LS258B is a 5 V LS TTL device and is not directly compatible with 3.3 V CMOS logic without a level translator. Its output voltage levels and input thresholds are specified for 5 V operation, so a level-shifting buffer or translator IC is needed to safely interface with 3.3 V CMOS systems that have maximum input tolerances of approximately 3.6 V.
