Product details
Overview
CD74HCT139M96 from Texas Instruments is a dual 2-to-4 line decoder/demultiplexer in SOIC-16 package, operating at 4.5V–5.5V with active-low mutually exclusive outputs, -55°C to +125°C temperature range, and LSTTL-compatible inputs (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V). It serves as a memory address decoder in industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the CD74HCT139M96 datasheet, CD74HCT139M96 pinout, CD74HCT139M96 application, or CD74HCT139M96 equivalent, key selection criteria include LSTTL input compatibility, dual independent enable-controlled decoding, active-low output logic, wide temperature operation, and SOIC-16 tape-and-reel availability for automated assembly.
Technical Context
The CD74HCT139M96 integrates two independent binary-to-1-of-4 decoders, each with a dedicated active-low enable input (1E, 2E) and dual select lines (A0/A1). Outputs are fully complementary: only one of Y0–Y3 goes low per decoder when enabled; all remain high when enable is high.
It implements standard combinational logic with no internal latching or clocking-propagation delays are specified for both select-to-output (tPLH/tPHL = 34–51 ns @ CL = 50 pF, VCC = 4.5 V) and enable-to-output paths, and transition times are tightly balanced (tTLH/tTHL ≤ 22 ns).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | HCT - TTL-compatible CMOS, enabling direct interface with 74LS devices without level shifters |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures stable operation across noisy 5 V rails in industrial environments |
| Input Thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8 V (max), VIH ≥ 2.0 V (min) - guarantees reliable recognition of LS-TTL logic levels |
| Output Drive | ±25 mA per output - supports direct fanout to 10 LSTTL loads without buffering |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for aerospace, military, and under-hood automotive applications |
| Propagation Delay | 34–51 ns (A0/A1 or E to Y, CL = 50 pF, VCC = 4.5 V) - enables use in sub-20 MHz address decoding and data routing |
| Power Dissipation | CPD = 59 pF - allows accurate dynamic power estimation (PD = VCC² × fi × (CPD + CL)) |
Pinout & Package
CD74HCT139M96 is housed in a 16-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1, tape-and-reel packaging (2500 pcs/reel), pin 1 quadrant Q1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1E, 2E | Active-low enable inputs | Enable/disable respective decoder independently; high = all outputs forced high (disabled) |
| 1A0, 1A1 / 2A0, 2A1 | Binary select inputs | Two-bit address selects which of four outputs (Y0–Y3) goes low per decoder |
| 1Y0–1Y3 / 2Y0–2Y3 | Active-low decoded outputs | Outputs are mutually exclusive and open-drain compatible (no internal pull-ups) |
| VCC (Pin 16) | Positive supply | 4.5–5.5 V DC; decoupling capacitor required near pin for noise immunity |
| GND (Pin 8) | Ground reference | Common return path for all logic and output currents; must be low-impedance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent decoders | Enables two separate 2-to-4 decode functions on one chip-reduces board space vs. discrete LS139 pairs |
| LSTTL input compatibility | Eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry when interfacing with legacy 74LS logic families |
| Wide temperature range | Supports deployment in extended-environment systems including avionics, downhole tools, and engine control units |
| Active-low mutually exclusive outputs | Simplifies design of priority-encoded enable trees and chip-select logic for memory or peripheral mapping |
| Low quiescent current | ICC ≤ 160 µA over full temperature range-critical for low-power standby modes in battery-backed systems |
Applications
| Memory Address Decoding | Data Routing in Industrial PLCs |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Selecting one of four SRAM or EEPROM chips in a microcontroller-based data logger. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual decoder maps upper address bits to individual chip-select lines; enables simultaneous access to multiple memory banks. Use Value: Reduces external logic count by consolidating two decode functions into one SOIC-16 device, lowering BOM cost and layout complexity. | Use Scenario: Directing sensor data streams from four analog input modules to a central ADC multiplexer. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as a demultiplexer: enable pin driven by controller selects one output path while others remain high-impedance inactive. Use Value: Provides deterministic, glitch-free signal routing with propagation delay under 51 ns-ensuring timing alignment across multi-channel acquisition. |
| Code Conversion in Motor Control | Chip Select Logic for FPGA Peripherals |
Use Scenario: Converting 2-bit PWM mode commands into four discrete gate-driver enable signals for BLDC commutation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Decoder translates digital control word into active-low phase-enable pulses synchronized with PWM carrier. Use Value: Enables precise, low-jitter sequencing of power stage activation-critical for minimizing torque ripple in precision motion systems. | Use Scenario: Managing up to four peripheral interfaces (SPI flash, I²C EEPROM, UART transceiver, CAN controller) attached to an FPGA I/O bank. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides hierarchical chip-select generation: FPGA GPIO drives 1E/2E, A0/A1 select specific peripheral within group. Use Value: Offloads decode logic from FPGA fabric, preserving LUT resources and simplifying timing closure for high-speed I/O interfaces. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 2-to-4 decoder/demultiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT139DR | Same HCT logic family, identical pinout and electrical specs; TI's newer second-source marking with enhanced traceability | No functional difference; validated for same industrial temperature range and tape-and-reel handling | Select when requiring TI's latest production lot traceability or updated quality documentation |
| MC74HCT139ADR2G | Pin-compatible but manufactured by ON Semiconductor; VIH/VIL thresholds match HCT spec, but ICC max is 200 µA (vs. 160 µA for CD74HCT139M96) | Suitable for commercial-temperature designs; not rated for -55°C operation | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer or telecom applications where extended temperature is unnecessary |
Compared with SN74HCT139DR and MC74HCT139ADR2G, CD74HCT139M96 offers guaranteed -55°C to +125°C operation, tighter ICC specification (≤160 µA), and legacy Harris/TI qualification history-making it preferred for high-reliability aerospace, defense, and energy infrastructure designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for CD74HCT139M96?
The absolute maximum DC supply voltage for CD74HCT139M96 is 7 V, but its functional operating range is strictly 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Operation outside this window may cause incorrect logic behavior or increased ICC. The CD74HCT139M96 is not rated for 3.3 V or 2.5 V operation-use CD74HC139M96 instead for wider voltage support.
Does CD74HCT139M96 support cascading for larger decode functions?
Yes, CD74HCT139M96 supports cascading: the enable inputs (1E, 2E) can accept decoded outputs from another CD74HCT139M96 or similar device to build 3-to-8 or 4-to-16 decoding trees. Its active-low enables and mutually exclusive outputs ensure clean hierarchical chip-select generation without bus contention.
Is CD74HCT139M96 pin-compatible with CD4556B?
Yes, CD74HCT139M96 is pin-compatible with CD4556B as confirmed in the official datasheet. Both share identical SOIC-16 pin assignments, including VCC (pin 16), GND (pin 8), and matching enable/select/output layouts. However, CD74HCT139M96 uses HCT logic (TTL-compatible inputs), whereas CD4556B is a CMOS device with different voltage thresholds and drive strength.
What is the meaning of the "M96" suffix in CD74HCT139M96?
The "M96" suffix in CD74HCT139M96 indicates a 16-pin SOIC package supplied in large tape-and-reel format (2500 units per reel). The "M" denotes SOIC packaging, and "96" specifies the tape-and-reel configuration-distinct from "MT" (smaller 250-unit reel) or "E" (plastic DIP tube packaging). This format is optimized for SMT placement equipment.
Can CD74HCT139M96 drive LED indicators directly?
CD74HCT139M96 outputs can sink up to 25 mA per pin, making them capable of directly driving standard 5 mA LEDs with appropriate series resistors (e.g., 220 Ω at 5 V). Since outputs are active-low, connect the LED anode to VCC and cathode to Yx. Avoid simultaneous sinking on multiple outputs exceeding total ICC limits (160 µA quiescent, higher during switching).
