54F/74F138
1-of-8 Decoder/Demultiplexer
General Description
The ’F138 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 ’F138 devices or a 1-of-32 decoder using four ’F138
devices and one inverter.

Functional Description
The ’F138 high-speed 1-of-8 decoder/demultiplexer accepts three binary weighted inputs (A
0,A1,A2
) and, when
enabled, provides eight mutually exclusive active LOW outputs (O
0–O7
). The ’F138 features three Enable inputs, two
active LOW (E
1,E2
) and one active HIGH (E3). All outputs
will be HIGH unless E
1
and E2are LOW and E3is 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 ’F138 devices and one inverter (See
Figure 1
). The
’F138 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.
