indicated below. You must check the quality grade of each Renesas Electronics product before using it in a particular
application. You may not use any Renesas Electronics product for any application categorized as “Specific” without the prior
written consent of Renesas Electronics. Further, you may not use any Renesas Electronics product for any application for
which it is not intended without the prior written consent of Renesas Electronics. Renesas Electronics shall not be in any way
liable for any damages or losses incurred by you or third parties arising from the use of any Renesas Electronics product for an
application categorized as “Specific” or for which the product is not intended where you have failed to obtain the prior written
consent of Renesas Electronics. The quality grade of each Renesas Electronics product is “Standard” unless otherwise
expressly specified in a Renesas Electronics data sheets or data books, et c.
“Standard”: Computers; office equipment; communications equipment; test and measurement equipment; audio and visual
equipment; home electro nic app liances; machine tool s; p ersonal electron ic equipment; and indu strial robots .
“High Quality”: Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.); traffic control systems; anti-disaster systems; anti-
crime systems; safety equipment; and medical equipment not specifically designed for life support.
“Specific”: Aircraft; aerospace equ i pment; submersible repeaters; nu clear reactor control systems; medical equipment or
systems for life support (e.g. artificial life support devices or systems), surgical implantations, or healthcare
interven tion (e.g. excision, et c.), and any oth er applications or purposes that pose a direct th reat to human life.
8. You should use the Renesas Electronics products described in this document within the range specified by Renesas Electronics,
especially with respect to the maximum rating, operating supply voltage range, movement power voltage range, heat radiation
characteristics, installation and other product characteristics. Renesas Electronics shall have no liability for malfunctions or
damages arising out of the use of Renesas Electronics products beyond such specified ranges.
9. Although Renesas Electronics endeavors to improve the quality and reliability of its products, semiconductor products have
specific chara cterist ics such as the o ccurren ce of failure at a certai n rate an d malfunct ion s under certai n u se cond ition s. Further,
Renesas Electronics pr oducts are not subject to radiation resi stance design. Please be sure to implement safety measures to
guard them against the possibility of physical injury, and injury or damage caused by fire in the event of the failure of a
Renesas Electronics product, such as safety design for hardware and software including but not limited to redundancy, fire
control and malfunction prevention, appropriate treatment for aging degradation or any other appropriate measures. Because
the evaluation of microcomputer software alone is very difficult, please evaluate the safety of the final products or system
manufactured by you.
10. Please contact a Renesas Electronics sales office for det ai ls as to enviro nmental matters such as the en vi ronmental
compatibility of each Renesas Electronics product. Please use Renesas Electronics products in compliance with all applicable
laws and regulations that regulate the inclusion or use of controlled substances, including without limitation, the EU RoHS
Directive. Renesas Electronics assumes no liability for damages or losses occurring as a result of your noncompliance with
applicable laws and regulations.

Description
The HD74AC138/HD74ACT138 is a high-speed 1-of-8 decoder/demultiplexer. This device is ideally suited for high-
speed bipo lar memory chip select address decoding. The multiple input enables allow para llel expansion to a 1-of-24
decoder using just three HD74AC138/HD74ACT138 devices or a 1-of-32 decoder using four
HD74AC138/HD74ACT138 devices and one inverter.

Functional Description
The HD74AC138/HD74ACT138 high-speed 1-of-8 decoder/demultiplexer accepts three binary weighted inputs (A0, A1,
A2) and, when enabled, provides eight mutually exclusive active-LOW outputs (O0 to O7). The
HD74AC138/HD74ACT138 features three Enable inputs, two active-Low (E1, E2) and one active-High (E3). All
outputs will be High unless E1 and E2 are Low and E3 is High. This multiple enabled function allows eas y parallel
expansion of the device to a 1-of-32 (5 lines to 32 lines) decoder with just four HD74AC138/HD74ACT138 devices
and one inverter (See Figure a). The HD74AC138/HD74ACT138 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 inp uts as strobes. The Enables inputs which
are not used must be permanently tied to their appropr iate active-High or active-Low state.
