Please note: As part of the Fairchild Semiconductor integration, some of the Fairchild orderable part numbers
will need to change in order to meet ON Semiconductor’s system requirements. Since the ON Semiconductor
product management systems do not have the ability to manage part nomenclature that utilizes an underscore
(_), the underscore (_) in the Fairchild part numbers will be changed to a dash (-). This document may contain
device numbers with an underscore (_). Please check the ON Semiconductor website to verify the updated
device numbers. The most current and up-to-date ordering information can be found at www.onsemi.com. Please
email any questions regarding the system integration to Fairchild_questions@onsemi.com.

MM74HCT138
3-to-8 Line Decoder
General Descript ion
The MM74HCT138 decoder utilizes advanced silicon-gate
CMOS techno logy, and are well suited to memor y addr ess
decodin g or data rou ting app lications. Both c ircuits feature
high noise immunity and low power consumption usually
associated with CMOS circuitry, yet have speeds compara-
ble to low power Schottky TTL logic.
The MM74 HCT138 have 3 binar y select inputs (A, B, and
C). If the device is enabled these inputs determine which
one of the eight normally HIGH outputs will go LOW. Two
active LOW and one active HIGH enables (G1, G2A and
G2B) are provided to ease the cascading decoders.
The decoders’ output can drive 10 low power Schottky TTL
equivalent l oads and are functi onally a nd pin equ ivalent to
the 74L S138 . All inputs a re p rotecte d from dam age d ue to
static discharge by diodes to VCC and ground.
MM74HC T device s are intended to i nterface between TTL
and NMOS components and standard CMOS devices.
These parts are also plug-in replacements for LS-TTL
devices and can be u sed to reduce p ower consumption in
existing designs.
Features
TTL input compatible
Typical propagation delay: 20 ns
Low quiescent current: 80 µA maximum (74HCT S eries)
Low input current: 1 µA maximum
Fanout of 10 LS-TTL loads
