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 bi-
polar memory chip select address decoding. The multiple in-
put 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
,A
1
,A
2
) and, when
enabled, provides eight mutually exclusive active-LOW out-
puts (O
0
–O
7
). The ’AC/’ACT138 features three Enable in-
puts, two active-LOW (E
1
,E
2
) and one active-HIGH (E
3
). All
outputs will be HIGH unless E
1
and E
2
are LOW and E
3
is
HIGH. This multiple enable function allows easy parallel ex-
pansion of the device to a 1-of-32 (5 lines to 32 lines) de-
coder with just four ’AC/’ACT138 devices and one inverter
(see
Figure 1
). The ’AC/’ACT138 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.

Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings are those values beyond which damage
to the device may occur. The databook specifications should be met, without
exception, to ensure that the system design is reliable over its power supply,
temperature, and output/input loading variables. National does not recom-
mend operation of FACT®circuits outside databook specifications.
