description
The
’AHCT138
3-line
to
8-line
decoders/
demultiplexers are designed to be used in
high-performance
memory-decoding
and
data-routing applications that require very short
propagation-delay times. In high-performance
memory systems, this decoder can be used to
minimize the effects of system decoding. When
employed with high-speed memories utilizing a
fast enable circuit, the delay times of this decoder
and the enable time of the memory usually are
less than the typical access time of the memory.
This means that the effective system delay
introduced by the decoder is negligible.
The conditions at the binary-select inputs and the three enable inputs select one of eight output lines. Two
active-low and one active-high enable inputs reduce the need for external gates or inverters when expanding.
A 24-line decoder can be implemented without external inverters and a 32-line decoder requires only one
inverter. An enable input can be used as a data input for demultiplexing applications.
The SN54AHCT138 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of –55
°C to 125°C.
The SN74AHCT138 is characterized for operation from –40
°C to 85°C.
