1. General description
The 74AHC257; 74AHCT257 is a high-speed Si-gate CMOS device and is pin compatible
with Low-power Schottky TTL (LSTTL). It is specified in compliance with JEDEC standard
No. 7-A.
The 74AHC257; 74AHCT257 has four identical 2-input multiplexers with 3-state outputs,
which select 4 bits of data from two sources and are controlled by a common data select
input (S). The data inputs from source 0 (1I0 to 4I0) are selected when input S is LOW and
the data inputs from source 1 (1I1 to 4I1) are selected when input S is HIGH. Data
appears at the outputs (1Y to 4Y) in true (non-inverting) form from the selected inputs.
The 74AHC257; 74AHCT257 is the logic implementation of a 4-pole 2-position switch,
where the position of the switch is determined by the logic levels applied to input S. The
outputs are forced to a high-impedance OFF-state when OE is HIGH.
The logic equations for the outputs are:
1Y = OE × (1I1 × S + 1I0 × S)
2Y = OE × (2I1 × S + 2I0 × S)
3Y = OE × (3I1 × S + 3I0 × S)
4Y = OE × (4I1 × S + 4I0 × S)
The 74AHC257; 74AHCT257 is identical to the 74AHC258; 74AHCT258, but has
non-inverting (true) outputs.
