DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
These devices are designed for high-performance memory-decoding or data-routing applications requiring very
short propagation delay times. In high-performance memory systems, these decoders can be used to minimize
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 usually are 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 (A, B, C) and the three enable inputs (G1, G2A, G2B) select one of
eight output lines. The two active-low (G2A, G2B) and one active-high (G1) enable inputs reduce the need for
external gates or inverters when expanding. A 24-line decoder can be implemented without external inverters
and a 32-line decoder requires only one inverter. An enable input can be used as a data input for demultiplexing
applications.
These devices are fully specified for partial-power-down applications using Ioff. The Ioff circuitry disables the
outputs, preventing damaging current backflow through the devices when they are powered down.

Stresses beyond those listed under "absolute maximum ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under "recommended operating
conditions" is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
The input and output negative-voltage ratings may be exceeded if the input and output current ratings are observed.
This value is limited to 5.5 V maximum.
The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51-7
The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51-5.

The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.

RoHS: TI defines "RoHS" to mean semiconductor products that are compliant with the current EU RoHS requirements for all 10 RoHS substances, including the requirement that RoHS substance
do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, "RoHS" products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. TI may
reference these types of products as "Pb-Free".
RoHS Exempt: TI defines "RoHS Exempt" to mean products that contain lead but are compliant with EU RoHS pursuant to a specific EU RoHS exemption.
Green: TI defines "Green" to mean the content of Chlorine (Cl) and Bromine (Br) based flame retardants meet JS709B low halogen requirements of
