Applications

Nexperia's demultiplexers are available in multiple logic families with 1, 2, 3 and 4 input lines and 2, 4, 8 and 16 output lines reducing the bit width of interface busses. They can be used as decoders by activating one of several mutually-exclusive output lines, based on the digital code present at the binary-weighted inputs. A typical use of decoders is in memory addressing in automotive applications such as display clusters, global positioning systems and keyless entry systems; allowing several memory devices to share a common data bus by ensuring that only one memory device is enabled at a time.

Digital decoders / demultiplexers are available in standard SO, TSSOP and leadless DQFN packages for PCB space saving. Nexperia's digital decoders / demultiplexers are fully specified from -40 °C to 125 °C.

Features and benefits

  • Multiple input enable for easy expansion or independent controls
  • Integrated input latch to store the address of decoder lines
  • Ideal for memory chip select decoding
  • Asynchronous and synchronous load options
  • Overvoltage tolerant input options
  • Inverting and non-inverting output options
  • 3-stage outputs
  • High frequency
  • Can be cascaded

Applications

  • Selection of memory banks and peripherals
  • I/O expansion
