These devices are designed to multiplex signals from four-bit data sources to four-output data lines in bus-organized systems. The 3-state outputs will not load the data lines when the output control pin (G\) is at a high-logic level.

Series 54LS and 54S are characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C; Series 74LS and 74S are characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.

• Three-State Outputs Interface Directly with System Bus
• 'LS257B and 'LS258B Offer Three Times the Sink-Current Capability of the Original 'LS257 and 'LS258
• Same Pin Assignments as SN54LS157, SN74LS157, SN54S157, SN74S157, and SN54LS158, SN74LS158, SN54S158, SN74S158
• Provides Bus Interface from Multiple Sources in High-Performance Systems
