Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key specifications of the SN74F257NSR?
The SN74F257NSR is a quad 2-to-1 multiplexer with 3-state outputs in the F/FAST logic family, featuring 4 bits, a 50pF load capacitance rating, 20mA maximum output low current (IOL), housed in a 16-pin SOIC (R-PDSO-G16) package, and operates with standard 5V TTL logic supply voltage.
What applications is the SN74F257NSR designed for?
This device is designed for bus multiplexing, data routing, memory address selection, and microprocessor interface circuits where two data sources must share a single output bus. The 3-state outputs allow multiple devices to drive common buses without bus contention, making it ideal for computing, telecommunications, and industrial control systems.
What package does the SN74F257NSR use and is it RoHS compliant?
The SN74F257NSR is housed in a 16-pin Small Outline IC (SOIC) package with JEDEC code R-PDSO-G16, suitable for surface-mount assembly. It is Pb-free with JESD-609 Code e4 designation, confirming full RoHS compliance and lead-free solder compatibility for environmentally conscious manufacturing processes.
How does the SN74F257NSR differ from standard 74257 multiplexers?
The SN74F257NSR belongs to the F/FAST logic subfamily, which offers faster propagation delay and higher drive capability compared to standard LS or HC logic variants. With a 20mA sink current (IOL) and 50pF load capacitance, it is optimized for high-speed backplane and bus-driving applications where timing margins are critical.
