Nexperia · Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders · SO-16

74HCT238D from Nexperia, in a SO-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 A0 input Address input A0 (least significant binary weight) selects which mutually exclusive output Y0 to Y7 is active HIGH.
2 A1 input Address input A1 (middle binary weight) selects which mutually exclusive output Y0 to Y7 is active HIGH.
3 A2 input Address input A2 (most significant binary weight) selects which mutually exclusive output Y0 to Y7 is active HIGH.
4 E1 input Active LOW enable input; all outputs stay LOW unless E1 and E2 are LOW and E3 is HIGH.
5 E2 input Active LOW enable input; all outputs stay LOW unless E1 and E2 are LOW and E3 is HIGH.
6 E3 input Active HIGH enable input; all outputs stay LOW unless E1 and E2 are LOW and E3 is HIGH.
7 Y7 output Active HIGH mutually exclusive decoder output, LOW unless the device is enabled and selected by A0 to A2.
8 GND power_in Ground (0 V) reference for all voltages; this is the device ground pin.
9 Y6 output Active HIGH mutually exclusive decoder output, LOW unless the device is enabled and selected by A0 to A2.
10 Y5 output Active HIGH mutually exclusive decoder output, LOW unless the device is enabled and selected by A0 to A2.
11 Y4 output Active HIGH mutually exclusive decoder output, LOW unless the device is enabled and selected by A0 to A2.
12 Y3 output Active HIGH mutually exclusive decoder output, LOW unless the device is enabled and selected by A0 to A2.
13 Y2 output Active HIGH mutually exclusive decoder output, LOW unless the device is enabled and selected by A0 to A2.
14 Y1 output Active HIGH mutually exclusive decoder output, LOW unless the device is enabled and selected by A0 to A2.
15 Y0 output Active HIGH mutually exclusive decoder output, LOW unless the device is enabled and selected by A0 to A2.
16 VCC power_in Supply voltage; 74HCT238 recommended operating range is 4.5 V to 5.5 V and absolute maximum is 7 V.
