MM54HC251/MM74HC251 8-Channel TRI-STATEÉ Multiplexer General Description This 8-channel digital multiplexer with TRI-STATE outputs utilizes advanced silicon-gate CMOS technology. Along with the high noise immunity and low power consumption of standard CMOS integrated circuits, it possesses the ability to drive 10 LS-TTL loads. The large output drive capability and TRI-STATE feature make this part ideally suited for interfacing with bus lines in a bus oriented system. This multiplexer features both true (Y) and complement (W) outputs as well as a STROBE input. The STROBE must be at a low logic level to enable this device. When the STROBE input is high, both outputs are in the high impedance state. When enabled, address information on the data select inputs determines which data input is routed to the Y and W outputs. The 54HC/74HC logic family is speed, function, as well as pinout compatible with the standard 54LS/74LS logic family. All inputs are protected from damage due to static discharge by internal diode clamps to VCC and ground.
