The LCX138 high-speed 1-of-8 decoder/demultiplexer
accepts three binary weighted inputs (A
0
, A
1
, A
2
) and,
when enabled, provides eight mutually exclusive active-
LOW outputs (O
0
–O
7
). The LCX138 features three Enable
inputs, two active-LOW (E
1
, E
2
) and one active-HIGH (E
3
).
All outputs will be HIGH unless E
1
and E
2
are LOW and E
3
is HIGH. The LCX138 can be used as an 8-output demulti-
plexer by using one of the active LOW Enable inputs as the
data input and the other Enable inputs as strobes. The
Enable inputs which are not used must be permanently tied
to their appropriate active-HIGH or active-LOW state.

Note 3:
The Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. The device should not be operated
at these limits. The parametric values defined in the Electrical Characteristics tables are not guaranteed at the Absolute Maximum Ratings. The “Recom-
mended Operating Conditions” table will define the conditions for actual device operation.
Note 4:

Absolute Maximum Rating must be observed.
Note 5:
Unused inputs must be held HIGH or LOW. They may not float.
