High–Performance Silicon–Gate CMOS
The MC54/74HC138A is identical in pinout to the LS138. The device
inputs are compatible with standard CMOS outputs; with pullup resistors,
they are compatible with LSTTL outputs.
The HC138A decodes a three–bit Address to one–of–eight active–low
outputs. This device features three Chip Select inputs, two active–low and
one active–high to facilitate the demultiplexing, cascading, and chip–selecting functions. The demultiplexing function is accomplished by using the
Address inputs to select the desired device output; one of the Chip Selects is
used as a data input while the other Chip Selects are held in their active
states.
• Output Drive Capability: 10 LSTTL Loads
• Outputs Directly Interface to CMOS, NMOS and TTL
• Operating Voltage Range: 2.0 to 6.0 V
• Low Input Current: 1.0
µA
• High Noise Immunity Characteristic of CMOS Devices
• In Compliance with the Requirements Defined by JEDEC Standard
No. 7A
• Chip Complexity: 100 FETs or 29 Equivalent Gates

This device contains protection
circuitry to guard against damage
due to high static voltages or electric
fields. However, precautions must
be taken to avoid applications of any
voltage higher than maximum rated
voltages to this high–impedance circuit. For proper operation, Vin and
V
out
should be constrained to the
range GND v (Vin or V
out
) v VCC.
Unused inputs must always be
tied to an appropriate logic voltage
level (e.g., either GND or VCC).
Unused outputs must be left open.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
ADDRESS INPUTS
A0, A1, A2 (Pins 1, 2, 3)
Address inputs. These inputs, when the chip is selected,
determine which of the eight outputs is active–low.
CONTROL INPUTS
CS1, CS2, CS3 (Pins 6, 4, 5)
Chip select inputs. For CS1 at a high level and CS2, CS3
at a low level, the chip is selected and the outputs follow the
Address inputs. For any other combination of CS1, CS2, and
CS3, the outputs are at a logic high.
OUTPUTS
Y0 – Y7 (Pins 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 7)
Active–low Decoded outputs. These outputs assume a low
level when addressed and the chip is selected. These outputs remain high when not addressed or the chip is not
selected.
