PRODUCTION DATA
Refer to the PDF data sheet for device specific package drawings
The SN74AHC139 device is used to control multiple devices that operate on a shared data bus. A decoder allows a binary encoded input to activate only one of the device's outputs. This makes this device an excellent choice for solid state memory applications where multiple devices have to be read or written to with a limited number of GPIO pins used on the system controller. The decoder is used to activate the chip select (CS) input to the selected memory device, and the controller can then read or write from that device alone when using a shared bus.
