Decoders Demultiplexers
General Description
These Schottky-clamped circuits are designed to be used in
high-performance memory-decoding or data-routing appli-
cations 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 intro-
duced by the decoder is negligible
The LS138 decodes one-of-eight lines based upon the con-
ditions 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 inverters when ex-
panding A 24-line decoder can be implemented with no ex-
ternal inverters and a 32-line decoder requires only one
inverter An enable input can be used as a data input for
demultiplexing applications
The LS139 comprises two separate two-line-to-four-line de-
coders in a single package The active-low enable input can
be used as a data line in demultiplexing applications
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 system
design

Note
The ‘‘Absolute Maximum Ratings’’ are those values
beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaran-
teed The device should not be operated at these limits The
parametric values defined in the ‘‘Electrical Characteristics’’
table are not guaranteed at the absolute maximum ratings
The ‘‘Recommended Operating Conditions’’ table will define
the conditions for actual device operation
