IDT74LVC138A
DESCRIPTION:
The LVC138A 3-line to 8-line decoder/demultiplexer is built using
advanced dual metal CMOS technology. This device is designed for high-
performance memory-decoding or data-routing applications requiring very
short propagation delay times. In high performance memory systems, this
decoder minimizes the effects of system decoding. When employed with
high-speed memories utilizing a fast enable circuit, the delay times of these
decoders and the enable time of the memory 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 conditions at the binary-select inputs and the three enable inputs
select one of eight output lines. Two active-low enable inputs and one active-
high enable input reduce the need for external gates or inverters when
expanding. A 24-line decoder can be implemented without external invert-
ers and a 32-line decoder requires only one inverter. An enable input can
be used as a data input for demultiplexing applications.
Inputs can be driven from either 3.3V or 5V devices. This feature allows
the use of this device as a translator in a mixed 3.3V/5V supply system.
The LVC138A has been designed with a ±24mA output driver. This
driver is capable of driving a moderate to heavy load while maintaining
speed performance.
