IDT FAST CMOS IDT54/74FCT257T/AT/CT/DT Quad 2-Input Multiplexer Datasheet
The IDT FAST CMOS quad 2‑input multiplexer provides four independent data paths selectable via a common select input. It features low input and output leakage (<1 pA), true TTL compatibility, and high‑drive outputs (‑15 mA IOH, 48 mA IOL) suitable for bus‑oriented systems.
The device is offered in industrial (SOIC, QSOP) and military (CERDIP, LCC) packages, operates from 0.5 V to 7 V supply, and meets JEDEC and MIL‑STD‑883 specifications. Detailed electrical, power‑supply, and switching characteristics are provided, along with test circuits and ordering information.
