3 Description

The SN74LV8T138-EP is a three to eight decoder with one standard output strobe (G2) and two active low output strobes (G1 and G0). When the outputs are gated by any of the strobe inputs, they are all forced into the high state. When the outputs are not disabled by the strobe inputs, only the selected output is low while all others are high. The output level is referenced to the supply voltage (VCC) and supports 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V CMOS levels.

The input is designed with a lower threshold circuit to support up translation for lower voltage CMOS inputs (for example, 1.2V input to 1.8V output or 1.8V input to 3.3V output). In addition, the 5V tolerant input pins enable down translation (for example, 3.3V to 2.5V output).
