SN74HC257DR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A/B | input | Common address-select input for all four channels; low selects A data inputs, high selects B data inputs. |
| 2 | 1A | input | Data input A for channel 1; selected when A/B is low and G is low. |
| 3 | 1B | input | Data input B for channel 1; selected when A/B is high and G is low. |
| 4 | 1Y | tri_state | Non-inverting 3-state output for channel 1; enters high-impedance state when G is high; ±6 mA drive at 5 V. |
| 5 | 2A | input | Data input A for channel 2; selected when A/B is low and G is low. |
| 6 | 2B | input | Data input B for channel 2; selected when A/B is high and G is low. |
| 7 | 2Y | tri_state | Non-inverting 3-state output for channel 2; enters high-impedance state when G is high; ±6 mA drive at 5 V. |
| 8 | GND | power_in | Ground supply reference; continuous current rating ±70 mA. |
| 9 | 3Y | tri_state | Non-inverting 3-state output for channel 3; enters high-impedance state when G is high; ±6 mA drive at 5 V. |
| 10 | 3B | input | Data input B for channel 3; selected when A/B is high and G is low. |
| 11 | 3A | input | Data input A for channel 3; selected when A/B is low and G is low. |
| 12 | 4Y | tri_state | Non-inverting 3-state output for channel 4; enters high-impedance state when G is high; ±6 mA drive at 5 V. |
| 13 | 4B | input | Data input B for channel 4; selected when A/B is high and G is low. |
| 14 | 4A | input | Data input A for channel 4; selected when A/B is low and G is low. |
| 15 | ~{G} | input | Active-low output-enable (strobe) input common to all channels; high level forces all four Y outputs into the high-impedance state. |
| 16 | VCC | power_in | Positive supply voltage; recommended operating range 2 V to 6 V; continuous current rating ±70 mA. |
