74LCX138 Low Voltage 1-of-8 Decoder/Demultiplexer with 5V Tolerant Inputs
November 1996
74LCX138
Low Voltage 1-of-8 Decoder/Demultiplexer
with 5V Tolerant Inputs
General Description
The LCX138 is a high-speed 1-of-8 decoder/demultiplexer.
This device is ideally suited for high-speed bipolar memory
chip select address decoding. The multiple input enables
allow parallel expansion to a 1-of-24 decoder using just
three LCX138 devices or a 1-of-32 decoder using four
LCX138 devices and one inverter.
The 74LCX138 is fabricated with advanced CMOS technol-
ogy to achieve high speed operation while maintaining
CMOS low power dissipation.

Functional Description
The LCX138 high-speed 1-of-8 decoder/demultiplexer ac-
cepts three binary weighted inputs (A0,A
1
,A
2
) and, when
enabled, provides eight mutually exclusive active-LOW out-
puts (O0–O7). The LCX138 features three Enable inputs,
two active-LOW (E1,E
2
) and one active-HIGH (E3). All out-
puts will be HIGH unless E1and E2are LOW and E3is
HIGH.
The LCX138 can be used as an 8-output demultiplexer by
using one of the active LOW Enable inputs as the data input
and the other Enable inputs as strobes. The Enable inputs
which are not used must be permanently tied to their appro-
priate active-HIGH or active-LOW state.
