Texas Instruments 74F253
74F253 variants from Texas Instruments
74F253 Overview
What changes between part numbers, and what to check before you lock the BOM — Signal Switches, Multiplexers and Decoders.
Key Features
- Footprint / package: CFPAK, CLLCCLand pattern and thermal pad differ between these packages — run a quick footprint check before you swap variants.
- Lifecycle mix: ActiveConfirm lifecycle on the exact MPN, not just the base number prefix.
- 2 distinct suffix patternsExamples: FCX, LC. Decode suffix meaning in the ordering notes under the variant table.
Target Applications
- Signal Switches, Multiplexers and Decoders — design-in and field replacement
- BOM scrub where only the base prefix is known but suffix is TBD
- Second-source checks when the original MPN is constrained
Ordering Variants
Compare 2 74F253 part numbers by package, electrical parameters, lifecycle, and availability. Use RFQ for stock and lead-time confirmation.
| Part Number | Description | Package Type | Manufacturer | Lifecycle | RoHS | Availability | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 74F253FCX | Package: CFPAK | Mounting Type: Surface Mount | Logic Function: Multiplexer | Max Operating Temp: 70°C | Min Operating Temp: 0°C | CFPAK | Texas Instruments | Active | Compliant | In Stock | |
| 74F253LC | Package: CLLCC | Mounting Type: Surface Mount | Logic Function: Multiplexer | Max Operating Temp: 70°C | Min Operating Temp: 0°C | CLLCC | Texas Instruments | Active | Compliant | In Stock |

How to Choose the Right 74F253 Signal Switches, Multiplexers and Decoders
Match the footprint first
Packages here: CFPAK, CLLCC. Open the land-pattern drawing before you substitute a different suffix.
Electrical headroom
Compare voltage and current columns in the variant table. For 74F253, a suffix with lower voltage or current rating will not survive the same circuit without recalculation.
Temp grade letter matters
Commercial (0–70 °C) and industrial (−40–85 °C+) suffixes look similar in the prefix — confirm ambient + self-heating, not just the first page of the datasheet.
Copy the full MPN
Do not BOM only "74F253" — include the full suffix (e.g. FCX, LC). RFQ with reel/tube preference and required date code.
