Product details
Overview
CD74AC139M96 from Texas Instruments is a dual 2-line-to-4-line decoder/demultiplexer in SOIC-16 package, operating from 1.5 V to 5.5 V, with ±24-mA output drive, balanced propagation delays (as low as 2.6 ns at 5 V), and SCR-latchup-resistant CMOS process. It serves in high-speed memory decoding and data routing where negligible system delay is critical.
For engineers reviewing the CD74AC139M96 datasheet, CD74AC139M96 pinout, CD74AC139M96 application, or CD74AC139M96 equivalent, key selection factors include its dual-decoder architecture with active-low enable inputs, wide supply range compatibility, ESD protection exceeding 2 kV per MIL-STD-883, and operation across –55°C to 125°C industrial/military temperature range.
Technical Context
The CD74AC139M96 integrates two independent 2-to-4 decoders, each with fully buffered inputs and an active-low enable (G) input usable as a data line in demultiplexing mode. Its logic function follows standard positive-logic truth table: outputs go low only when G is low and select inputs A/B match one of four binary combinations.
It employs TI's AC CMOS process delivering bipolar-equivalent speed (e.g., 2.6–10.5 ns tPLH/tPHL at 5 V, CL = 50 pF) with significantly reduced power consumption versus F/AS/S families. Input transition rate tolerance is specified at 20 ns/V for VCC ≥ 3.6 V and 50 ns/V for VCC ≤ 3 V, supporting robust signal integrity in mixed-voltage systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.5 V to 5.5 V - supports direct interface with 1.8-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 2.6 ns min / 9.5 ns max at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF - enables use in sub-100-MHz address decoding paths. |
| Output Drive Current | ±24 mA - drives up to 15 F-series TTL loads or terminates 50-Ω transmission lines at 85°C. |
| Input Noise Immunity | 30% of VCC - ensures reliable operation under noisy supply or crosstalk conditions. |
| ESD Protection | >2 kV per MIL-STD-883, Method 3015 - meets baseline ruggedness requirements for industrial PCB handling. |

Pinout & Package
CD74AC139M96 uses a 16-pin SOIC (D) package with standard JEDEC outline, 1.27-mm pitch, and gull-wing leads. Thermal impedance θJA is 73°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1G, 2G | Active-low enable input | Each controls one decoder section; low enables decoding, high forces all Y outputs high (disabled state). |
| 1A, 1B / 2A, 2B | Binary address inputs | Select one of four outputs per decoder (Y0–Y3); fully buffered to present only one normalized load. |
| 1Y0–1Y3 / 2Y0–2Y3 | Active-low decoded outputs | Each output goes low when corresponding G is low and A/B match its index; open-drain compatible with wired-OR configurations. |
| VCC (Pin 16) | Positive supply | Single rail powers both decoders; supports 1.5–5.5 V with stable noise immunity across full range. |
| GND (Pin 8) | Ground reference | Common return for all inputs, outputs, and internal logic; requires low-impedance connection to minimize ground bounce. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent decoders | Enables simultaneous decoding of two 2-bit address buses-reduces component count vs. discrete single decoders. |
| Balanced propagation delays | Minimizes skew between Y outputs and across sections, critical for synchronous memory enable timing alignment. |
| SCR-latchup-resistant process | Prevents destructive latch-up during overvoltage transients or hot-insertion events in backplane systems. |
| Wide-input voltage tolerance | VIH/VIL thresholds scale with VCC (e.g., VIH = 3.85 V at 5.5 V), ensuring interoperability across mixed-supply designs. |
| Low ICC quiescent current | Max 160 µA at 5.5 V - reduces standby power in battery-backed or always-on control modules. |
Applications
| Memory Address Decoding | Bus Demultiplexing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Selecting one of four SRAM or ROM chips in a microcontroller-based embedded system with limited address lines.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides 1-of-4 active-low output per section to directly sink current into LEDs or optocouplers. Use Value: ±24-mA drive per output eliminates external transistor buffers, enabling compact, high-reliability indicator subsystems. | Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling four redundant sensor signal conditioning channels in avionics health-monitoring units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual enable inputs (1G/2G) serve as independent safety interlocks; outputs assert /ENABLE to downstream analog switches. Use Value: –55°C to +125°C rating and 2-kV ESD protection ensure operational integrity in harsh airborne environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 2-to-4 decoder applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AC139DR | Same AC logic family, identical pinout and function; rated for –40°C to +85°C only. | Limited to commercial/industrial ambient; not suitable for extended temperature deployments. | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs extended temperature requirement and board space allows rework for thermal derating. |
| CD74HC139M96 | HC-family variant: higher propagation delay (14 ns typical at 5 V), lower drive (±4 mA), but wider VCC range (2–6 V). | Better suited for low-power, low-speed systems where fanout and noise margin are prioritized over speed. | Select when system clock rates are below 20 MHz and supply rails may exceed 5.5 V, accepting longer decode latency. |
Compared with SN74AC139DR and CD74HC139M96, the CD74AC139M96 uniquely delivers military-grade temperature range, 24-mA drive, and sub-10-ns propagation in a single SOIC-16 package-making it optimal for high-reliability, high-speed decoding where thermal and electrical margins are non-negotiable.

Does CD74AC139M96 support 1.8-V logic interfaces?
Yes, CD74AC139M96 supports 1.8-V operation: its recommended VCC range is 1.5 V to 5.5 V, and input thresholds scale proportionally (e.g., VIH ≈ 1.26 V at 1.8 V). The device maintains balanced noise immunity at 30% of VCC, ensuring robust 1.8-V signal integrity without external level translation.
Can CD74AC139M96 be used as a demultiplexer?
Yes, CD74AC139M96 can operate as a dual 1-to-4 demultiplexer. The active-low enable inputs (1G and 2G) serve as data inputs, while A/B select lines determine output routing. When G is low, the selected Y output goes low; all others remain high-enabling true demux functionality without additional logic.
What is the output drive capability of CD74AC139M96?
CD74AC139M96 provides ±24-mA output drive per Y pin at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V. This allows direct fanout to 15 F-series TTL loads or driving 50-Ω transmission lines, verified at 85°C and 125°C. The specification is measured with one output active at a time, ensuring thermal stability under sustained load.
Is CD74AC139M96 pin-compatible with CD74AC139M?
Yes, CD74AC139M96 and CD74AC139M share identical SOIC-16 (D) package, pinout, and electrical specifications. The "M96" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging (2500 units/reel, MSL Level-1), whereas "M" indicates tube packaging-both are functionally and mechanically interchangeable on PCBs.
