The 74LS series of integrated circuits (ICs) was one of the most popular logic families of transistor-transistor logic (TTL) logic chips. 74LS series is a bipolar, low-power Schottky IC. 74LS253 Schottky-clamped data selectors/multiplexers contain inverters and drivers to supply fully complementary, on-chip, binary decoding data selection to the AND-OR gates

74LS253 Features
- Tri-State Version of the 74LS153
- Schottky Diode Clamped Transistors
- Permit Multiplexing from N-lines to One Line
- Performs Parallel to Serial Conversion
- Standard TTL Switching Voltages
