description
This 3-line to 8-line decoder/demultiplexer is designed for 2.7-V to 3.6-V VCC operation.
The SN74LVC138 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 this decoder 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 input 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 inverters 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 3.3-V or 5-V devices. This feature allows the use of these devices as translators
in a mixed 3.3-V/5-V system environment.
The SN74LVC138 is characterized for operation from – 40°C to 85°C.
Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of
Texas Instruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.

† 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.
NOTES: 1. The input and output negative-voltage ratings may be exceeded if the input and output clamp-current ratings are observed.
2. This value is limited to 4.6 V maximum.
3. The maximum package power dissipation is calculated using a junction temperature of 150°C and a board trace length of 750 mils.
