Product details
Overview
SN74LVC1G139DCTR from Texas Instruments is a 2-to-4 line decoder IC designed for high-speed memory decoding and data routing in 1.65-V to 5.5-V systems. It features active-low outputs (Y0–Y3), dual address inputs (A, B), 4.9 ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V/15 pF, ±24-mA output drive at 3.3 V, and Ioff support for live insertion and partial-power-down operation. It is used in SSDs and AV receivers for chip-select generation.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC1G139DCTR datasheet, SN74LVC1G139DCTR pinout, SN74LVC1G139DCTR application, or SN74LVC1G139DCTR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-pin SM8 package, 2-input/4-output active-low decode logic, overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 5.5 V), low ICC (10 µA max), and compatibility with mixed-voltage interface designs.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC1G139DCTR implements a standard binary 2-to-4 decoder with B as MSB and A as LSB; all four outputs are active-low and mutually exclusive under valid input conditions. Its CMOS design supports down-translation - inputs driven above VCC (up to 5.5 V) remain functional while VCC operates as low as 1.65 V.
It integrates Ioff circuitry that disables outputs during power-down, preventing back-drive current and enabling hot-plug capability. Propagation delays are tightly matched across outputs (tpd ≤ 4.9 ns at 3.3 V), and switching performance is characterized at CL = 15 pF with defined rise/fall rate limits (e.g., 15 ns/V at 3.3 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - enables interoperability across 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V logic domains |
| Max tpd | 4.9 ns at 3.3 V / 15 pF - ensures negligible system delay in high-speed memory decode paths |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at 3.3 V - supports fanout to multiple LVC/LVT inputs or light capacitive loads without buffers |
| Ioff Support | Yes - prevents damaging current flow when VCC = 0 V, enabling safe live insertion in backplane systems |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V independent of VCC - allows interfacing with higher-voltage controllers without level shifters |
| ICC (max) | 10 µA - minimizes quiescent power in always-on subsystems such as standby decoders |
| ESD Rating | ±2500 V HBM - meets industrial handling requirements without additional protection circuitry |
Pinout & Package
The SN74LVC1G139DCTR is housed in an 8-pin SM8 (Small Outline Package) with nominal body size 2.95 mm × 2.80 mm and gull-wing leads. This NanoStar™ package uses the die as the package, minimizing footprint and thermal resistance (RθJA = 194°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A | Address input (bit 0) | LSB of 2-bit binary select; low or high determines Y0/Y1 vs Y2/Y3 activation |
| B | Address input (bit 1) | MSB of 2-bit binary select; combined with A selects exactly one active-low output |
| Y3 | Active-low decoded output | Asserted low only when A = H, B = H - used for CS3 in 4-chip-select decoding |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal logic and output currents; must be low-impedance |
| Y2 | Active-low decoded output | Asserted low only when A = L, B = H - used for CS2 in 4-chip-select decoding |
| Y1 | Active-low decoded output | Asserted low only when A = H, B = L - used for CS1 in 4-chip-select decoding |
| Y0 | Active-low decoded output | Asserted low only when A = L, B = L - used for CS0 in 4-chip-select decoding |
| VCC | Power supply | Supplies core logic and output drivers; requires local 0.1-µF bypass capacitor per TI layout guidance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NanoStar™ packaging | Die-as-package construction reduces PCB area by >50% vs standard SOIC-8 and improves thermal performance |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Accepts up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC setting - eliminates need for external level translators in mixed-supply systems |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Automatically disables outputs when VCC = 0 V - prevents back-current damage during hot-swap or power sequencing |
| Matched propagation delays | tpd variation < 1 ns across Y0–Y3 at 3.3 V - ensures glitch-free chip-select timing in synchronous memory interfaces |
| High noise immunity | VIL = 0.35×VCC (min) and VIH = 0.65×VCC (min) at 1.65 V - maintains reliable switching under noisy rail conditions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 2-to-4 decoder applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G139DCUR | VSSOP-8 package (2.30 mm × 2.00 mm); RθJA = 195°C/W; identical electrical specs | Smaller footprint but lower thermal mass; preferred for space-constrained layouts with moderate power dissipation | Select DCUR when board area is critical and thermal margin exceeds 25°C above ambient |
| 74LVC1G139GW,125 | DFN-6 (1.25 mm × 1.25 mm) from Nexperia; same VCC range and tpd; no Ioff support | Lacks Ioff - unsuitable for partial-power-down or hot-swap systems; requires external isolation for safe insertion | Choose GW,125 only for cost-sensitive, single-rail 3.3-V designs where live insertion is not required |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the SN74LVC1G139DCTR?
The SN74LVC1G139DCTR does not specify a maximum clock frequency because it is a combinational logic device without internal clocking. Its usable switching rate is determined by propagation delay (≤4.9 ns at 3.3 V) and load capacitance. For a 15-pF load, it reliably handles input transitions up to ~100 MHz in typical routing scenarios, as confirmed by TI's ICC vs. frequency characterization data.
Does the SN74LVC1G139DCTR support level shifting between different supply voltages?
Yes, the SN74LVC1G139DCTR supports true bidirectional level translation: inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC (1.65–5.5 V), and outputs swing rail-to-rail between GND and the applied VCC. This allows it to interface a 5-V microcontroller address bus to a 1.8-V memory subsystem without external translators - a capability verified in TI's application note SCLA015.
Can unused inputs on the SN74LVC1G139DCTR be left floating?
No, unused inputs on the SN74LVC1G139DCTR must be tied to VCC or GND. Floating CMOS inputs cause undefined output states, increased ICC, and potential oscillation due to noise coupling. TI explicitly mandates biasing all unused inputs - for example, tying A and B to GND if only Y0 is used - as stated in Section 12.1 of the SCES602E datasheet.
What is the purpose of the Ioff feature in the SN74LVC1G139DCTR?
The Ioff feature in the SN74LVC1G139DCTR disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, blocking current flow from powered I/O lines into the unpowered device. This protects against back-drive damage during hot-swap events or partial power-down modes - a requirement validated per JESD78 Class II latch-up testing and confirmed in TI's functional mode table (Section 9.4).
Is the SN74LVC1G139DCTR pin-compatible with other packages in the same family?
No - the SN74LVC1G139DCTR (SM8) has a different pinout and land pattern than the DCU (VSSOP) and YZP (DSBGA) variants. While all share identical logic functionality and signal names, mechanical dimensions, lead pitch, and terminal locations differ. The DCT package places VCC at pin 8 and GND at pin 4; DCU swaps these positions, and YZP uses bottom-side ball mapping - requiring separate PCB footprints.
