SN74HC138: Difference between SN74HC138A

Part Number: SN74HC138

Hi,

Could you please let me know the difference between SN74HC138 and SN74HC138A?

From the datasheet, I understood that the SN74HC138A is higher switching characteristics version.
And these device is same device. Difference is test specification only.
Is my understanding correct?

I got the SN74HC138A from the following link.
