Product details
Overview
SN74LVC139ADRG4 from Texas Instruments is a dual 2-line to 4-line decoder/demultiplexer in SOIC-16 package, operating from 1.65 V to 3.6 V, with max propagation delay of 6.2 ns at 3.3 V and input tolerance up to 5.5 V. It supports mixed-voltage translation between 3.3-V and 5-V logic domains and features fully buffered inputs for low loading.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC139ADRG4 datasheet, SN74LVC139ADRG4 pinout, SN74LVC139ADRG4 application, or SN74LVC139ADRG4 equivalent, this device is selected for address decoding in low-voltage microcontroller peripherals, I/O expansion logic, and bus demultiplexing where level-shifting and fast switching are required.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC139ADRG4 integrates two independent 2-to-4 decoders, each with active-low enable (G) and complementary select inputs (A, B). Each decoder drives four active-high outputs (Y0–Y3), with all outputs high when G is high - enabling use as a 1-to-4 demultiplexer when G serves as data input.
Its LVC family process ensures CMOS-compatible input thresholds across supply voltages, latch-up immunity >250 mA per JESD17, and ESD protection exceeding 2000-V HBM. Inputs tolerate 5.5 V regardless of VCC, allowing safe interfacing with legacy 5-V drivers in 3.3-V systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - supports single-supply operation in modern low-voltage digital systems including battery-powered and mixed-signal SoC interfaces. |
| Max tpd | 6.2 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - enables reliable timing in 80-MHz+ address decode paths with margin for board trace delays. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - permits direct connection to 5-V TTL/CMOS outputs without external level shifters. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - sufficient to drive multiple LVC/LVT inputs or small capacitive loads (<30 pF) without buffering. |
| Power Consumption | ICC ≤ 10 µA at VCC = 3.6 V - supports ultra-low static power in always-on control logic blocks. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications including motor control and sensor interface modules. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVC139ADRG4 uses a 16-pin SOIC (D) package, 10.4 mm × 6.2 mm × 2.0 mm height, with standard 1.27 mm pitch and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; device orientation follows JEDEC MS-012.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 15, 16 | 1G, 2G, VCC | Active-low enable for Decoder 1; active-low enable for Decoder 2; positive supply rail - enables independent gating of each decoder's output group. |
| 2, 3, 4, 5 | 1A, 1B, 1Y0, 1Y1 | Decoder 1 select inputs A/B; Decoder 1 outputs Y0/Y1 - Y0–Y3 are mutually exclusive active-high outputs per decode cycle. |
| 6, 7, 10, 11 | 1Y2, 1Y3, 2A, 2B | Decoder 1 outputs Y2/Y3; Decoder 2 select inputs A/B - allows simultaneous but independent addressing of two 4-bit resource banks. |
| 12, 13, 14, 9 | 2Y0, 2Y1, 2Y2, 2Y3 | Decoder 2 outputs Y0–Y3 - all four outputs driven high when 2G = high, supporting demux mode with 2G as data line. |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance path to minimize switching noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent decoders | Two 2-to-4 decoders share no internal logic - enables concurrent address decoding for separate peripheral groups (e.g., SPI flash + I²C EEPROM). |
| 5.5-V tolerant inputs | Accepts 5-V signals at any VCC ≥ 1.65 V - eliminates need for discrete level translators in mixed-voltage FPGA or MCU designs. |
| Low dynamic power | Cpd = 30.5 pF at 3.3 V - reduces switching current and EMI in high-frequency clocked decode trees. |
| High noise immunity | VIL = 0.35×VCC (min), VIH = 0.65×VCC (min) - ensures robust operation under noisy PCB conditions with marginal signal integrity. |
| Latch-up resistant | Exceeds 250 mA per JESD17 - prevents destructive failure during hot-plug or transient overvoltage events in industrial backplanes. |
Applications
| Memory Address Decoding | Peripheral I/O Expansion |
|---|---|
|

Use Value: Achieves sub-10 ns channel switching with no external latches; supports baud rates up to 1 Mbps without inter-symbol interference. |
Use Scenario: Controlling sequencing of four power rails (VDDIO, VDDA, VDDCORE, VDDPLL) during FPGA configuration. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Generates mutually exclusive enable pulses synchronized to configuration clock edge via A/B inputs. Use Value: Ensures strict power-up order compliance; ±24 mA drive directly controls high-side MOSFET gate drivers without buffer stages. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LV139ADR | LV family: wider VCC range (2.0–5.5 V), slower max tpd (11 ns @ 5 V), lower drive (±12 mA) | Better suited for pure 5-V legacy systems; not recommended for 1.65–1.8 V operation or high-speed 3.3-V buses. | Choose if system operates exclusively at 5 V and cost sensitivity outweighs speed requirements. |
| 74AHC139PW | AHC family: VCC = 2.0–5.5 V, tpd = 6.5 ns @ 5 V, higher ICC (40 µA), no 5.5-V input tolerance | Requires level-shifting for 5-V inputs in 3.3-V systems; higher static power limits use in battery-critical designs. | Select when interfacing only with 3.3-V or 5-V native logic and higher drive strength (±8 mA @ 5 V) is needed. |
Compared with SN74LV139ADR and 74AHC139PW, SN74LVC139ADRG4 uniquely balances 1.65–3.6 V operation, 5.5-V input tolerance, and 6.2 ns speed - making it optimal for modern mixed-voltage embedded controllers where voltage scaling and interoperability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by SN74LVC139ADRG4?
The SN74LVC139ADRG4 does not specify a maximum clock frequency, as it is a combinational logic device. Its usable switching rate is determined by propagation delay: at VCC = 3.3 V, max tpd = 6.2 ns, supporting reliable operation in address decode paths up to ~80 MHz with appropriate setup/hold margins. System-level timing must account for board trace delays and fanout.
Can SN74LVC139ADRG4 be used with a 5-V microcontroller driving its inputs?
Yes. SN74LVC139ADRG4 inputs are rated for up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, which may be as low as 1.65 V. This allows direct connection to 5-V microcontroller GPIOs without level shifters - a key feature for mixed-voltage system integration. Ensure VCC is within 1.65–3.6 V and outputs drive only LVC/LVT-compatible loads.
Is SN74LVC139ADRG4 pin-compatible with older 74LS139 or 74HC139 devices?
No. While functionally similar, SN74LVC139ADRG4 uses a different pinout than 74LS139 (e.g., 74LS139 places GND at Pin 8, VCC at Pin 16, but assigns Y0–Y3 differently). It is also not pin-compatible with 74HC139 due to differing terminal assignments for select and enable lines. Always verify against the SOIC-16 pin diagram in the SN74LVC139A datasheet before PCB layout.
Does SN74LVC139ADRG4 require pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Yes. Per TI's SCBA004 application report, all unused inputs of SN74LVC139ADRG4 must be tied to VCC or GND to prevent floating nodes that cause increased ICC, oscillation, or latch-up. Leaving inputs unconnected violates recommended operating conditions and may result in unpredictable output states or elevated power consumption.
What is the thermal performance of SN74LVC139ADRG4 in SOIC package?
SN74LVC139ADRG4 in SOIC (D) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 73°C/W. At 25°C ambient and typical ICC + IOL power dissipation (<5 mW), junction temperature remains well below 125°C. For sustained high-output-current operation (>10 mA per output), ensure adequate PCB copper area and airflow per TI's thermal design guidelines.
