† Stresses beyond those listed under "absolute maximum ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under "recommended operating conditions" is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

NOTE 1: The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51-7.

SN54HC257 designed to multiplex signals from 4-bit data sources to 4-output data lines in bus-organized
systems. The 3-state outputs do not load the data lines when the output-enable (G) input is at a high logic level.
To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, G should be tied to VCC through a pullup
resistor; the minimum value of the resistor SN54HC257 is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.
