54FCT138
1-of-8 Decoder/Demultiplexer
General Description
The FCT138 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
FCT138 devicesora 1-of-32 decoder using four FCT138 devices and one inverter.

Functional Description
The FCT138 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 FCT138 features three Enable inputs,
two active-LOW (E1,E2) and one active-HIGH (E3). All outputs will be HIGH unless E1and E2are LOW and E3is
HIGH. This multiple enable function allows easy parallel ex-
pansion of the device to a 1-of-32 (5 lines to 32 lines) decoder with just four FCT138 devices and one inverter (see
Figure 1
). The FCT138 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.
