SN74LS138DRE4 application field and working principle

The SN74LS138DRE4 is a low-power, high-speed low-level logic signal switch, multiplexer and decoder. It is designed to switch 3-8 level logic signals of various kinds. It features low quiescent power consumption, high input/output drive capability, low channel-to-channel crosstalk, high off-isolation and fast transient response time. The SN74LS138DRE4 is ideal for applications requiring maximum signal integrity at higher signal speeds.

Applications of SN74LS138DRE4

The SN74LS138DRE4 is used in a wide variety of applications such as line-level audio switching, serial data transmission, logic-level switch and multiplexing/demultiplexing. It is suitable for use in mobile and desktop PCs, mobile phones, tablets, test and measurement equipment, automotive systems, industrial automation, and more.

Working principle of SN74LS138DRE4

The SN74LS138DRE4 is a 3-8 line decoder/demultiplexer. It is designed to take 3 or 4 input lines and will generate 8 distinct signals that can be used to control 8 separate output devices. It is activated when the Enable (EN) pin is sat to a high level, while the other 8 output pins are tri-stated. The inputs of the SN74LS138DRE4 are rising-edge sensitive and require a logic-low level (0V) logic level in order to activate the device. When an input line is set to logic-low level, the corresponding output line will be activated. If more than one input line is set to logic-low, the device will activate the output line associated with the highest priority line.

Benefits of SN74LS138DRE4

The SN74LS138DRE4 has a number of benefits when compared to other logic signal switches and multiplexers. Firstly, it supports high-speed operation with an operating frequency of up to 400MHz. Secondly, it has a low quiescent power consumption which makes it suitable for power sensitive application. Thirdly, its input and output drive capability is high which makes it capable of driving a large number of loads. Last but not least, it has very low channel-to-channel crosstalk making it suitable for applications with high noise immunity requirements.

In conclusion, the SN74LS138DRE4 is a versatile and high-performance logic signal switch, multiplexer and decoder with a number of benefits. It is ideal for applications that require high signal integrity at higher speeds and is suitable for use in a variety of applications such as line-level audio switching, serial data transmission and logic-level switch and multiplexing/demultiplexing.
