description/ordering information (continued)
The 'LVC138A devices are designed for high-performance memory-decoding or data-routing applications
requiring very short propagation delay times. In high-performance memory systems, these decoders minimize
the effects of system decoding. When employed with high-speed memories utilizing a fast enable circuit, 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.
The conditions at the binary-select inputs and the three enable inputs select one of eight output lines. Two
active-low enable inputs and one active-high enable input 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.
Inputs can be driven from either 3.3-V or 5-V devices. This feature allows the use of these devices as translators
in a mixed 3.3-V/5-V system environment.

functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under "recommended operating conditions" is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTES:
1. The input negative-voltage and output voltage ratings may be exceeded if the input and output current ratings are observed.
2. The value of VCC is provided in the recommended operating conditions table.
3. The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51-7.
4. The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51-5.
