Additional Details:

The TC74HCT139AFN comes in a small outline integrated circuit (SOIC) package. It has a typical propagation delay of around 15 ns. The device is pin-compatible with similar TTL logic devices. The outputs are active low, meaning the selected output is low while the others are high. The operating temperature range is typically -40°C to +85°C. This decoder is particularly useful in applications where multiple devices need to be selected or addressed based on a binary input.
