The IN74ACT257 is identical in pinout to the LS/ALS257, HC/HCT257. The IN74ACT257 may be used as a level converter for interfacing TTL or NMOS outputs to High Speed CMOS inputs.

This device selects a (4-bit) nibble from either the A or B inputs as determined by the Select input. The nibble is presented at the outputs in noninverted from when the Output Enable pin is at a low level. A high level on the Output Enable pin switches the outputs into the high-impedance state.
