The ’HCT138 are designed for high-performance
memory-decoding or data-routing applications
requiring very short propagation delay times. In
high-performance memory systems, these
decoders can minimize the effects of system
decoding. When employed with high-speed
memories utilizing a fast enable circuit, the delay
times of these decoders and the enable time of the
memory are usually less than the typical access
time of the memory. This means that the effective
system delay introduced by the decoders is
negligible.

The conditions at the binary-select inputs and the three enable inputs select one of eight output lines. Two
active-low (G) and one active-high (G) enable inputs reduce the need for external gates or inverters when
expanding. A 24-line decoder can be implemented without external inverters and a 32-line decoder requires
only one inverter. An enable input can be used as a data input for demultiplexing applications.
The SN54HCT138 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of –55°C to 125°C. The
SN74HCT138 is characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C.
