74HC138 / 74138 DIP 3 to 8-Line Decoder/Demultiplexer IC

Product Description: 74HC138 DIP 3 To 8-Line Decoder/Demultiplexer
The 74HC138 is a high-speed 3-to-8 line decoder/demultiplexer designed for use in digital circuits. This device accepts three binary weighted address inputs (A0, A1, A2) and decodes them into one of eight mutually exclusive active-low outputs (Y0 to Y7). The DIP package allows for easy integration into various electronic projects. The 74HC138 features three enable inputs: two active LOW (E1 and E2) and one active HIGH (E3), enabling flexible control over the output states. When the enable conditions are met, one output is activated based on the input address, while the remaining outputs remain inactive.

Features:

• Type: 3-to-8 line decoder/demultiplexer.
• Package Type: DIP-16.
• Inputs: Three address inputs (A0, A1, A2).
• Outputs: Eight active-low outputs (Y0 to Y7).
• Enable Inputs: Two active LOW (E1, E2) and one active HIGH (E3).
• Supply Voltage Range: 2.0V to 6.0V.
• Maximum Output Current: 8mA at VCC = 4.5V.
• Propagation Delay: Typically around 12 ns at VCC = 5V.
• Applications: Suitable for memory address decoding, data routing, and demultiplexing applications in digital systems.

Application:
The 74HC138 is commonly used in digital circuits for memory address decoding, data routing, and as a demultiplexer in communication systems where efficient signal management is required.

Package Included:
1 x 74HC138 DIP 3 To 8-Line Decoder/Demultiplexer
