SCAS294O – JANUARY 1993 – REVISED JUNE 2015
SNx4LVC257A Quadruple 2-Line to 1-Line Data Selectors and
Multiplexers With 3-State Outputs
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
•
These quadruple 2-line to 1-line data selectors and
multiplexers are designed for 1.65-V to 3.6-V VCC
operation.
1
•
•
•
•
Operate From 1.65 V to 3.6 V
Inputs Accept Voltages to 5.5 V
Maximum tpd of 4.6 ns at 3.3 V
Typical VOLP (Output Ground Bounce)
2 V at VCC = 3.3 V, TA = 25°C
Latch-Up Performance Exceeds 250 mA Per
JESD 17
ESD Protection Exceeds JESD 22
– 2000-V Human-Body Model (A114-A)
– 200-V Machine Model (A115-A)
On Products Compliant to MIL-PRF-38535, All
Parameters Are Tested Unless Otherwise Noted.
On All Other Products, Production Processing
Does Not Necessarily Include Testing of All
Parameters.
The SNx4LVC257A devices are designed to multiplex
signals from 4-bit data sources to 4-output data lines
in bus-organized systems. The 3-state outputs do not
load the data lines when the output-enable (OE) input
is at a high logic level.
Inputs can be driven from either 3.3-V or 5-V devices.
This feature allows the use of these devices as
translators in a mixed 3.3-V or 5-V system
environment.

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
The input negative-voltage and output voltage ratings may be exceeded if the input and output current ratings are observed.
The value of VCC is provided in the recommended operating conditions table.

9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
These quadruple 2-line to 1-line data selectors and multiplexers are designed for 1.65-V to 3.6-V VCC operation.
The SNx4LVC257A devices are designed to multiplex signals from 4-bit data sources to 4-output data lines in
bus-organized systems. The 3-state outputs do not load the data lines when the output-enable (OE) input is at a
high logic level.

9.3 Feature Description
Inputs can be driven from either 3.3-V or 5-V devices. This feature allows the use of these devices as translators
in a mixed 3.3-V and 5-V system environment. Device features a maximum tpd of 4.6 ns allowing the device to be
used in high-speed applications as well.
To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, OE must be tied to VCC through a pullup
resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.

10 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
10.1 Application Information
The SNx4LVC257A devices are useful for digital signal data selector or multiplexer applications.
10.2 Typical Application
The SNx4LVC257A devices use CMOS technology and have balanced output drive. These devices can be used
for down level translation and multiplexer function as shown in Figure 4.

10.2.1 Design Requirements
Take care to avoid bus contention because it can drive currents that would exceed maximum limits. The high
drive will also create fast edges into light loads so routing and load conditions must be considered to prevent
ringing.

10.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
1. Recommended Input Conditions
– For rise time and fall time specification, see (Δt/ΔV) in the Recommended Operating Conditions table.
– For specified high and low levels, see (VIH and VIL) in the Recommended Operating Conditions table.
– Inputs are over voltage tolerant allowing them to go as high as (VI max) in the Recommended Operating
Conditions table at any valid VCC.
2. Recommend Output Conditions
– Load currents must not exceed (IO max) per output and must not exceed (continuous current through VCC
or GND) total current for the part. These limits are in the Recommended Operating Conditions table.
– Outputs must not be pulled above VCC.

11 Power Supply Recommendations
The power supply can be any voltage between the minimum and maximum supply voltage rating located in the
Recommended Operating Conditions table.
Each VCC terminal must have a good bypass capacitor to prevent power disturbance. For devices with a single
supply, a 0.1-μF capacitor is recommended. If there are multiple VCC terminals then 0.01-μF or 0.022-μF
capacitors are recommended for each power terminal. It is ok to parallel multiple bypass capacitors to reject
different frequencies of noise. Multiple bypass capacitors may be paralleled to reject different frequencies of
noise. The bypass capacitor must be installed as close to the power terminal as possible for the best results.
12 Layout
12.1 Layout Guidelines
When using multiple bit logic devices, inputs must not float. In many cases, functions or parts of functions of
digital logic devices are unused. Some examples are when only two inputs of a triple-input AND gate are used,
or when only 3 of the 4-buffer gates are used. Such input pins must not be left unconnected because the
undefined voltages at the outside connections result in undefined operational states.
Specified in Figure 7 are rules that must be observed under all circumstances. All unused inputs of digital logic
devices must be connected to a high or low bias to prevent them from floating. The logic level that must be
applied to any particular unused input depends on the function of the device. Generally they will be tied to GND
or VCC, whichever makes more sense or is more convenient.
