Functional Description
The 74F257A is a quad 2-input multiplexer with 3-STATE
outputs. It selects four bits of data from two sources under
control of a Common Data Select input. When the Select
input is LOW, the I
0x
inputs are selected and when Select
is HIGH, the I
1x
inputs are selected. The data on the
selected inputs appears at the outputs in true (non-
inverted) form. The device is the logic implementation of a
4-pole, 2-position switch where the position of the switch is
determined by the logic levels supplied to the Select input.
The logic equation for the outputs is shown below:

When the Output Enable input (OE) is HIGH, the outputs
are forced to a high impedance OFF state. If the outputs
are tied together, all but one device must be in the high
impedance state to avoid high currents that would exceed
the maximum ratings. Designers should ensure the Output
Enable signals to 3-STATE devices whose outputs are tied
together are designed so there is no overlap.
