The NXP 74AHC139 is a high-speed Si-gate CMOS device that is designed to be a versatile component for use in a wide range of digital applications. This integrated circuit is part of the 74AHC family, which is known for its robust performance and compatibility with TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) levels.
The 74AHC139 features two independent 2-to-4 line decoders, each with an input enable signal. Each section accepts two binary weighted inputs (0 and 1) and, when enabled, provides four mutually exclusive active LOW outputs (0 to 3). The enable input can be used to disable the decoder so that all outputs go to the high impedance state, effectively disconnecting the output from the circuit.
Key Features:
- Logic Family: AHC
