description/ordering information The ’AHC138 decoders/demultiplexers are designed for high-performance memory-decoding and data-routing applications that require very short propagation-delay times. In high-performance memory systems, these decoders can be used to 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 usually are less than the typical access time of the memory. This means that the effective system delay introduced by the decoders is negligible.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for this decoder?

The device operates in a range of 2-V to 5.5-V.

How effective are these decoders for high-speed memory systems?

They significantly minimize system decoding effects, ensuring the effective system delay is negligible when used with fast enable circuits.

Does this chip require external logic components for expansion?

No; two active-low and one active-high enable inputs reduce the need for external inverters or gates when cascading or expanding.

What levels of protection do these decoders offer against electrical discharge?

ESD protection exceeds JESD 22 standards, covering both Human-Body Model (2000-V) and Machine Model (A115-A).
