74VHC139
Dual 2-to-4 Decoder/Demultiplexer
General Description
The VHC139 is an advanced high speed CMOS Dual 2-to-
4 Decoder/Demultiplexer fabricated with silicon gate
CMOS technology. It achieves the high speed operation
similar to equivalent Bipolar Schottky TTL while maintain-
ing the CMOS low power dissipation.
The active LOW enable input can be used for gating or it
can be used as a data input for demultiplexing applications.
When the enable input is held HIGH, all four outputs are
fixed at a HIGH logic level independent of the other inputs.
An input protection circuit ensures that 0V to 7V can be
applied to the input pins without regard to the supply volt-
age. This device can be used to interface 5V to 3V systems
and two supply systems such as battery back up. This cir-
cuit prevents device destruction due to mismatched supply
and input voltages.

Functional Description
The VHC139 is a high-speed dual 2-to-4 decoder/demulti-
plexer. The device has two independent decoders, each of
which accepts two binary weighted inputs (A
0
A
1
) and pro-
vides four mutually exclusive active-LOW outputs (O
0
O
3
).
Each decoder has an active-LOW enable (E). When E is
HIGH all outputs are forced HIGH. The enable can be used
as the data input for a 4-output demultiplexer application.
Each half of the VHC139 generates all four minterms of
two variables. These four minterms are useful in some
applications, replacing multiple gate functions as shown in
Figure 1, and thereby reducing the number of packages
required in a logic network.

Conditions
(Note 2)
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are values beyond which the device
may be damaged or have its useful life impaired. The databook specifica-
tions should be met, without exception, to ensure that the system design is
reliable over its power supply, temperature, and output/input loading vari-
ables. Fairchild does not recommend operation outside databook specifica-
tions.
Note 2: Unused inputs must be held HIGH or LOW. They may not float.
