Dual 4:1 multiplexer with 1.5V–5.5V supply and 24 mA drive
The CD74AC153E is a dual 4:1 multiplexer from Texas Instruments' 74AC family. It selects one of four data inputs per multiplexer section based on a common address bus, making it a straightforward choice for routing digital signals, address decoding, or data selection in mixed-voltage systems. The wide supply range from 1.5V to 5.5V allows it to bridge 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains without a separate level translator, and the 24 mA output drive at both high and low levels is enough to fan out to several CMOS or TTL loads.
Military temperature grade and through-hole package
The 16-pin DIP package (0.300" body) is through-hole, which simplifies hand-assembly, rework, and socket-based prototyping — a practical advantage for low-volume production, MRO spares, and legacy board repairs.
Active lifecycle, no obsolescence concern
It is also ROHS3 compliant, so it meets current environmental requirements without a separate waiver.
