Decoder/Demultiplexer
General Description
These Schottky-clamped circuits are designed to be used
in high-performance memory-decoding or data-routing
applications, requiring very short propagation delay times.
In high-performance memory systems these decoders can
be used to minimize the effects of system decoding. When
used with high-speed memories, the delay times of these
decoders are usually less than the typical access time of
the memory. This means that the effective system delay
introduced by the decoder is negligible.
The DM74LS138 decodes one-of-eight lines, based upon
the conditions at the three binary select inputs and the
three enable inputs. Two active-low and one active-high
enable inputs reduce the need for external gates or invert-
ers when expanding. A 24-line decoder can be imple-
mented with no 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 DM74LS139 comprises two separate two-line-to-four-
line decoders in a single package. The active-low enable
input can be used as a data line in demultiplexing applica-
tions.
All of these decoders/demultiplexers feature fully buffered
inputs, presenting only one normalized load to its driving
circuit. All inputs are clamped with high-performance
Schottky diodes to suppress line-ringing and simplify sys-
tem design.
