3 LINE TO 8 LINE DECODERS/DEMULTIPLEXERS
SCLS107E − DECEMBER 1982 − REVISED SEPTEMBER 2003
description/ordering information (continued)
The conditions at the binary-select inputs at the three enable inputs select one of eight output lines. Two
active-low and one active-high enable inputs 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.
