54AC138•54ACT138
1-of-8 Decoder/Demultiplexer
General Description
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.

Functional Description
The ’AC/’ACT138 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 ’AC/’ACT138 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 ’AC/’ACT138 devices and one inverter
(see
Figure 1
). The ’AC/’ACT138 canbe used as an8-output
demultiplexer by using one of the active LOW Enable inputs
as the data input and the other Enable inputsas strobes. The
Enable inputs which are not used must be permanently tied
to their appropriate active-HIGH or active-LOW state.
