Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications currently using the 74F257ASC, the following substitutes are available based on product status and compliance:

Primary Recommendation: SN74F257DR (Texas Instruments) This part maintains active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The Tape & Reel packaging option supports high-volume production environments. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical to the 74F257ASC.

Secondary Recommendation: SN74F258D (Texas Instruments) This part is actively manufactured with ROHS3 compliance and available in Tube packaging. It provides equivalent electrical performance and maintains the same 16-SOIC package footprint.

Alternative: SN74F257D (Texas Instruments) This part is designated Last Time Buy status with ROHS3 compliance. Tube packaging is available. Use this option only when inventory of primary recommendations is unavailable, as Last Time Buy status indicates limited future availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SN74F257DR be used as a direct replacement for 74F257ASC? A: Yes. Both parts share identical circuit configuration (4 x 2:1 multiplexer), package type (16-SOIC), voltage
