1. General description
The 74HC139; 74HCT139 decodes two binary weighted address inputs (nA0, nA1) to four mutually
exclusive outputs (nY0 to nY3). Each decoder features an enable input (nE). When nE is HIGH all
outputs are forced HIGH. The enable input can be used as the data input for a 1-to-4 demultiplexer
application. Inputs include clamp diodes. This enables the use of current limiting resistors to
interface inputs to voltages in excess of VCC.
