74LVX138
Low Voltage 1-of-8 Decoder/Demultiplexer
General Description
The LVX138 is a high-sp eed 1 -of-8 deco der/de mul tiplex er.
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 LVX138 devices or a 1-of-32 decoder using four
LVX138 devices and one inverter.
Features
■ Input voltage level translation from 5V to 3V
■ Ideal for low power/low noise 3.3V applications
■ Guaranteed simultaneous switching noise level and
dynamic threshold performance

Functional Description
The LVX138 high-speed 1-of-8 decoder/demultiplexer
accepts three binary weighted inputs (A
0
, A1, A2) and,
when enabled, provides eight mutually exclusive activeLOW outputs (O
0–O7
). The LVX138 features three Enable
inputs, two active-LOW (E
1
, E2) and one active-HIGH (E3).
All outputs will be HIGH unless E
1
and E2 are LOW and E
3
is HIGH.
The LVX138 can be used as an 8-out put demultip lexer by
using one of the a ctive LOW Enable inputs as the data
input and the othe r Enable input s as strobes. The Enable
inputs which are not used must be permanently tied to their
appropriate active-HIGH or active-LOW state.
