Product details
Overview
74AC11139N from Texas Instruments is a dual 2-line-to-4-line decoder/demultiplexer in a 16-pin plastic DIP (N) package, featuring fully buffered inputs, active-low enable inputs for cascading or data routing, and propagation delays as low as 3.5 ns at VCC = 5 V. It is designed for high-speed memory decoding and data transmission systems where system-level delay must be minimized.
For engineers reviewing the 74AC11139N datasheet, 74AC11139N pinout, 74AC11139N application, or 74AC11139N equivalent, key selection criteria include propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), output drive strength (±24 mA at 5 V), operating temperature range (−40°C to 85°C), input voltage thresholds (VIH/VIL), and compatibility with 3-V/4.5-V/5.5-V supply rails.
Technical Context
The 74AC11139N integrates two independent 2-to-4 decoders with separate active-low enables (1G, 2G) and shared select inputs (1A/1B, 2A/2B). Each decoder drives four active-high outputs (Y0–Y3), with fully buffered inputs presenting only one normalized load to upstream logic.
Its EPIC™ (Enhanced-Performance Implanted CMOS) 1-μm process delivers latch-up immunity of 500 mA at 125°C and supports operation across 3 V to 5.5 V. Center-pin VCC (Pin 16) and GND (Pin 8) placement reduces high-speed switching noise in dense PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 3 V to 5.5 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and legacy 5-V TTL compatibility |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 3.5 ns (min) / 6.6 ns (max) at VCC = 5 V - enables sub-150-MHz system clock domain decoding |
| Output Drive (IOL/IOH) | ±24 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to directly drive multiple 74AC inputs or small capacitive loads |
| Input Thresholds (VIH/VIL) | VIH = 3.15 V, VIL = 1.35 V at VCC = 4.5 V - ensures robust noise margin (>0.8 V) in noisy industrial environments |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for commercial and extended-temperature industrial applications |
| Power Dissipation Capacitance | 47 pF per gate at f = 1 MHz - enables accurate dynamic power estimation in high-frequency routing paths |
Pinout & Package
74AC11139N uses a 16-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP, N package) with 300-mil width. Pin 1 is 1Y1 (output), Pin 8 is GND, Pin 16 is VCC. Center-aligned power pins minimize ground bounce and supply noise during simultaneous output transitions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1Y1 | Active-high decoded output for first decoder, channel 1 - asserts when 1G=L, 1A=0, 1B=1 |
| 2 | 1Y2 | Active-high decoded output for first decoder, channel 2 - asserts when 1G=L, 1A=1, 1B=0 |
| 3 | 1Y3 | Active-high decoded output for first decoder, channel 3 - asserts when 1G=L, 1A=1, 1B=1 |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference for all internal logic and I/O - pin 8 is dedicated GND; pin 4 is not connected |
| 5 | 2Y0 | Active-high decoded output for second decoder, channel 0 - asserts when 2G=L, 2A=0, 2B=0 |
| 6 | 2Y1 | Active-high decoded output for second decoder, channel 1 - asserts when 2G=L, 2A=0, 2B=1 |
| 7 | 2Y2 | Active-high decoded output for second decoder, channel 2 - asserts when 2G=L, 2A=1, 2B=0 |
| 8 | GND | Primary ground return path - center-pin placement reduces loop inductance for high-speed switching |
| 9 | 1Y0 | Active-high decoded output for first decoder, channel 0 - asserts when 1G=L, 1A=0, 1B=0 |
| 10 | 1A | First select input for decoder 1 - fully buffered, presents one normalized load to driving source |
| 11 | 1B | Second select input for decoder 1 - fully buffered, compatible with 3-V CMOS and 5-V TTL logic levels |
| 12 | 1G | Active-low enable for decoder 1 - used as data input in demux mode; disables all Y0–Y3 when high |
| 13 | VCC | Positive supply rail - center-pin placement (pin 16) minimizes supply impedance asymmetry |
| 14 | 2G | Active-low enable for decoder 2 - independently controls second decoder; enables cascaded enable trees |
| 15 | 2A | First select input for decoder 2 - electrically identical to 1A; allows independent address routing |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply rail - pin 13 is not connected; pin 16 is sole VCC connection per package drawing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent decoders | Two 2-to-4 decoders share no internal signal paths - enables parallel address decoding without timing coupling |
| Active-low enable inputs (1G, 2G) | Each enable doubles as a data line in demux mode - eliminates need for external gating in 1-of-4 data distribution |
| Fully buffered inputs | Each input loads driving circuit with exactly one normalized AC load - ensures predictable fanout and timing across families |
| EPIC™ 1-μm CMOS process | Delivers 500-mA latch-up immunity at 125°C - meets industrial reliability requirements without external current limiting |
| Center-pin VCC/GND layout | VCC (Pin 16) and GND (Pin 8) are centered on opposite long edges - reduces simultaneous switching output (SSO) noise by >30% vs. corner-pin packages |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar decoder/demultiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74ACT11139N | Higher drive (±24 mA at 3 V), faster tPLH (2.5 ns min at 5 V), but higher ICC (100 μA max) | Better suited for 3-V logic domains and ultra-low-delay paths; less suitable for battery-powered systems | Select 74ACT11139N when 3-V compatibility and sub-3-ns delay are required; verify supply filtering for increased di/dt |
| SN74LS139N | Lower speed (tPLH = 15 ns typ), TTL-compatible inputs, 16-mA drive, higher ICC (18 mA typical) | Compatible with legacy 5-V TTL systems; unsuitable for >25-MHz operation or low-power designs | Choose SN74LS139N only for cost-sensitive, non-speed-critical 5-V TTL upgrades where pinout matches |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for the 74AC11139N?
The 74AC11139N supports a supply voltage range of −0.5 V to 7 V absolute maximum, with recommended operation between 3 V and 5.5 V. Operation above 5.5 V risks exceeding internal oxide breakdown limits and is not characterized; sustained use beyond 5.5 V voids TI's warranty and may cause permanent damage to the 74AC11139N.
Does the 74AC11139N support mixed-voltage interfacing between 3.3-V and 5-V logic?
Yes - the 74AC11139N accepts input voltages from 0 V to VCC + 0.5 V and operates reliably across 3 V to 5.5 V. At VCC = 3.3 V, VIH is 2.31 V (min), allowing clean recognition of 3.3-V logic highs; at VCC = 5 V, it drives outputs to ≥3.94 V (VOH), ensuring TTL-compatible logic highs. This makes the 74AC11139N suitable for level-shifting roles within a single device.
Can the 74AC11139N be used as a 1-to-4 demultiplexer?
Yes - each decoder section (1G/1A/1B or 2G/2A/2B) functions as a 1-to-4 demultiplexer when the enable input (1G or 2G) is used as the data line and select inputs (1A/1B or 2A/2B) control output routing. The 74AC11139N's active-low enable and active-high outputs provide direct demux functionality without external inverters, simplifying PCB layout and reducing component count.
What is the thermal performance limitation of the 74AC11139N in PDIP packaging?
In the N-package (PDIP), the 74AC11139N has a maximum power dissipation of 1.1 W at TA = 55°C in still air. Its thermal resistance θJA is approximately 110°C/W, meaning junction temperature rises ~121°C above ambient at full dissipation. For continuous operation, ambient temperature must remain below 64°C to keep TJ ≤ 150°C - a constraint critical for sealed industrial enclosures where airflow is limited.
Is the 74AC11139N pin-compatible with other 74AC-series dual decoders?
Yes - the 74AC11139N shares identical pinout, function table, and electrical characteristics with 74AC11139D (SOIC) and 74AC11139PW (TSSOP) variants. All three packages use the same 16-pin configuration with identical signal assignments (e.g., Pin 1 = 1Y1, Pin 8 = GND, Pin 16 = VCC), enabling direct PCB footprint interchangeability when mechanical constraints allow.
