SN74HC251PWR

Texas Instruments · Signal Switches / Encoders & Decoders / Multiplexers · TSSOP-16

SN74HC251PWR from Texas Instruments, in a TSSOP-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 D3 input Data input 3. One of eight multiplexer data inputs; routed to outputs Y/W when select code CBA=011 and OE is low.
2 D2 input Data input 2. One of eight multiplexer data inputs; selected when CBA=010.
3 D1 input Data input 1. One of eight multiplexer data inputs; selected when CBA=001.
4 D0 input Data input 0. One of eight multiplexer data inputs; selected when CBA=000.
5 Y tri_state True (non-inverted) 3-state data output. Drives the selected Dn value; high-impedance when OE is high. Rated ±6 mA at Vcc=5 V.
6 W tri_state Inverted (complementary) 3-state data output. Drives the logical inverse of the selected Dn value; high-impedance when OE is high. Rated ±6 mA at Vcc=5 V.
7 OE input Active-low output enable. When low, Y and W are driven by the selected Dn input; when high, both outputs are placed in high-impedance (3-state).
8 GND power_in Ground reference (0 V).
9 C input Select input C (MSB of the 3-bit binary channel select). Together with B and A chooses which Dn drives the outputs.
10 B input Select input B (middle bit of the 3-bit binary channel select).
11 A input Select input A (LSB of the 3-bit binary channel select).
12 D7 input Data input 7. Selected when CBA=111.
13 D6 input Data input 6. Selected when CBA=110.
14 D5 input Data input 5. Selected when CBA=101.
15 D4 input Data input 4. Selected when CBA=100.
16 VCC power_in Positive supply voltage. Recommended operating range 2 V to 6 V; absolute maximum 7 V.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
sn74hc251pwr.step 205 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
sn74hc251pwr-etched.step 2.6 MB You want the part with SN74HC251PWR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 652 faces against 255 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: Texas Instruments datasheet (31 pp, sha256 407441728ca2e20f, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
  • CAD: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0).
