74HC258

4-channel 2-input multiplexer enables seamless selection between multiple data sources. Operating voltage range of 2V to 6V supports versatile voltage applications. Propagation delay typically under 13 ns ensures fast switching speeds. Low quiescent current minimizes power consumption in standby mode. TTL compatible inputs and outputs allow easy integration with standard digital logic families. The 74HC258 combines high-speed CMOS performance with low power dissipation to deliver reliable multiplexing in a wide range of digital systems. Compared to other multiplexers in its class, it provides faster switching times while maintaining efficient power use, and its CMOS technology yields improved noise margins and reduced heat generation relative to older bipolar designs. Design and Integration Benefits Engineered for straightforward integration, the 74HC258’s TTL-compatible I/O simplifies interfacing with existing logic families and can reduce the need for additional level-shifting circuitry. Its low quiescent current contributes to longer battery life in portable applications, while the typical propagation delay under 13 ns supports responsive signal routing in timing-sensitive designs. Robust noise immunity enhances signal integrity in mixed-signal and complex digital environments. Suitable for applications that require reliable channel selection and efficient signal management, the 74HC258 is a practical choice for designers seeking a balance of speed, power efficiency, and compatibility in modern electronic systems.
