Logic-Signal Switches, Multiplexers and Decoders are digital building blocks that are used in a variety of electronics applications. They are designed to be components of larger circuits and are used to control signal flow and make decisions. MC74LCX139MEL is a component of this category, and its application fields and working principles will be explained in this article.

MC74LCX139MEL is a Dual 1-of-4 2-Gated Selector/Multiplexer Logic Gate. It is a component of 40 different Logic-Signal Switch, Multiplexer and Decoder families. The component includes two 1-of-4 channels, each one sharing their common enable input EN A. Its block diagram is shown in Figure 1.

This component is used in applications where two channels of 1-of-4 multiplexers are needed. It can be used for data and address selection, I/O port expansion, buffering and level shifting. All of these can be implemented in digital and analog circuits, as the component is tolerant to both.

Also, this component has some features that provide it with many capabilities. These features are: low power dissipation and good noise immunity; 2.5V to 3.3V input levels; low ceiling and floor noise levels; high output drive capability; input and output compatible with TTL, CMOS, and other logic families; and low voltage level detection.

The working principle of the MC74LCX139MEL is very simple. It has two 1-of-4 channels, each of them having two data input and two output terminals, plus the common enable input. Depending on the select and enable inputs, the component can select one of the four data inputs and route it to the corresponding output. This is accomplished by using two 4:1 multiplexer logic Gates.

The component is powered by a single +5V supply and can operate up to 30MHz. When the component is enabled (EN A=1) and the select lines (S0 and S1) are either in high or low state, the corresponding data inputs (D0, D1, D2, and D3) are connected to their output counterparts (Y0, Y1, Y2 and Y3). If the component is disabled (EN A=0), the outputs are forced to 0.

In conclusion, MC74LCX139MEL is an ideal component for applications that require two channels of 1-of-4 multiplexers. It has features like low power consumption, good noise immunity, low voltage level detection, and high output drive capability. Its working principle is simple and easy to understand, making it a great choice for digital and analog circuit applications.
