74LV138
3-to-8 line decoder/demultiplexer; inverting
Rev. 4 — 4 March 2016
Product data sheet
1. General description
The 74LV138 is a low-voltage Si-gate CMOS device that is pin and function compatible
with 74HC138 and 74HCT138.
The 74LV138 is a 3-to-8 line decoder/demultiplexer. It accepts three binary weighted
address inputs (A0, A1 and A2) and, when enabled, provides eight mutually exclusive
active LOW outputs (Y0 to Y7).
There are three enable inputs: two active LOW (E1 and E2) and one active HIGH (E3).
Every output will be HIGH unless E1 and E2 are LOW and E3 is HIGH.
This multiple enable function allows easy parallel expansion of the device to a 1-of-32
(5 lines to 32 lines) decoder with just four 74LV138 devices and one inverter. The
74LV138 can be used as an eight output demultiplexer by using one of the active LOW
enable inputs as the data input and the remaining enable inputs as strobes. Unused
enable inputs must be permanently tied to their appropriate active HIGH or LOW state.
2. Features and benefits

5. Pinning information
5.1 Pinning
(1) This is not a supply pin. The substrate is attached to this
pad using conductive die attach material. There is no
electrical or mechanical requirement to solder this pad.
However, if it is soldered, the solder land should remain
floating or be connected to V
CC
.
