Combines Decoder and 3-Bit Address
Latch
Incorporates Two Output Enables to
Simplify Cascading
Package Options Include Plastic Small-
Outline (D) Packages, Ceramic Chip
Carriers (FK), and Standard Plastic (N) and
Ceramic (J) 300-mil DIPs
description
The SN54ALS137A, SN74ALS137A, and
SN74AS137 are 3-line to 8-line decoders/
demultiplexers with latches on the three address
inputs. When the latch-enable (LE) input is low,
the devices act as decoders/demultiplexers.
When LE goes from low to high, the address
present at the select (A, B, and C) inputs is stored
in the latches. Further address changes are
ignored as long as LE remains high. The
output-enable controls (G1 and G2) control the
outputs independently of the select or
latch-enable inputs. All of the outputs are forced
high if G1 is low or G2 is high. These devices are
ideally suited for implementing glitch-free
decoders in strobed (stored-address) applications
in bus-oriented systems.
The SN54ALS137A is characterized for operation
over the full military temperature range of −55°C
to 125°C. The SN74ALS137A and SN74AS137
are characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.

(1) The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.
(2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
