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

74AC138 • 74ACT138
1-of-8 Decoder/Demultiplexer
General Description
Features
The AC/ACT138 is a high-speed 1-of-8 decoder/demultiplexer. This device is ideally suited for high-speed bipolar
memory chip select address decoding. The multiple input
enables allow parallel expansion to a 1-of-24 decoder
using just three AC/ACT138 devices or a 1-of-32 decoder
using four AC/ACT138 devices and one inverter.
■ ICC reduced by 50%
■ Demultiplexing capability
■ Multiple input enable for easy expansion
■ Active LOW mutually exclusive outputs
■ Outputs source/sink 24 mA
■ ACT138 has TTL-compatible inputs

Functional Description
Logic Diagram
The AC/ACT138 high-speed 1-of-8 decoder/demultiplexer
accepts three binary weighted inputs (A0, A1, A2) and,
when enabled, provides eight mutually exclusive activeLOW outputs (O0–O7). The AC/ACT138 features three
Enable inputs, two active-LOW (E1, E2) and one activeHIGH (E3). All outputs will be HIGH unless E1 and E2 are
LOW and E3 is HIGH. This multiple enable function allows
easy parallel expansion of the device to a 1-of-32 (5 lines
to 32 lines) decoder with just four AC/ACT138 devices and
one inverter (see Figure 1). The AC/ACT138 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
inputs as strobes. The Enable inputs which are not used
must be permanently tied to their appropriate active-HIGH
or active-LOW state.
Please note that this diagram is provided only for the understanding of logic
operations and should not be used to estimate propagation delays.
