1. General description
The 74HC251; 74HCT251 is an 8-bit multiplexer with eight binary inputs (I0 to I7), three
select inputs (S0 to S2) and an output enable input (OE). The select inputs select one of
the eight binary inputs and route it to the complementary outputs (Y and Y). A HIGH on
OE causes the outputs to assume a high-impedance OFF-state. Inputs include clamp
diodes that enable the use of current limiting resistors to interface inputs to voltages in
excess of VCC.
2. Features and benefits
Input levels:
For 74HC251: CMOS level
For 74HCT251: TTL level
