What are the key features of CD74HC139EE4?

  • Dual independent 2-to-4 decoder channels in a single 16-pin PDIP package doubles decode capacity versus single-section alternatives without additional board space
  • HC-family CMOS with 5.2 mA maximum output sink current enables direct drive of logic loads and indicator LEDs across 2 V to 6 V supply range
  • Active-low enable input per section allows cascading multiple CD74HC139 devices to build 3-to-8 or 4-to-16 decoders with no external glue logic

What is CD74HC139EE4 used for?

The CD74HC139EE4 is widely used in memory chip-select decoding, address bus demultiplexing, and I/O port enable generation in microcontroller and FPGA-based systems. Its dual independent sections also suit motor driver enable sequencing, relay bank control, and display segment selection in embedded control boards operating from 3.3 V or 5 V supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many decode outputs does each section of the CD74HC139EE4 provide from a 2-bit input?

Each of the two independent sections in the CD74HC139EE4 decodes a 2-bit binary address into 4 active-low output lines, selecting exactly one output at a time. With both sections active, the device provides 8 individually selectable outputs from 4 total address input bits and 2 enable pins.

Can the CD74HC139EE4 interface directly with a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO without level shifting?

Yes, the CD74HC139EE4 operates from 2 V to 6 V VCC, so a 3.3 V supply is fully within its specified range. At 3.3 V, the input high threshold is approximately 2.1 V and output sink current reaches 5.2 mA maximum, allowing direct connection to standard 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO pins without level-shifting circuitry.

How can two CD74HC139EE4 devices be cascaded to create a 3-to-8 line decoder?

Connect one section of a first CD74HC139EE4 to decode address bits A1 and A0, generating 4 enable signals. Route each of these 4 enables to the active-low enable input of one section across two additional CD74HC139EE4 devices, each decoding A2 plus one lower bit to produce 8 total outputs. This expansion uses 3 ICs and zero extra glue logic.

What is the pin count and package body width of the CD74HC139EE4, and does it fit standard DIP sockets?

The CD74HC139EE4 uses a 16-pin PDIP package with 2.54 mm (100 mil) pin pitch and a 7.62 mm (300 mil) narrow body width. It fits directly into standard DIP-16 sockets and solderless breadboards, making it the easiest form factor for prototyping 2-to-4 decode functions in lab or classroom environments.
