DM74LS139N

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Overview

The DM74LS139N is a dual 2-line-to-4-line decoder/demultiplexer manufactured by onsemi in a 16-pin PDIP package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V and supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. The device features active-low outputs and inputs clamped with Schottky diodes to suppress line-ringing. Typical propagation delay is 21 ns, with maximum delays reaching 40 ns under specified load conditions.
