74LVC138AD from Nexperia, in a SOIC-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 of the 3-to-8 decoder; inputs are Schmitt-trigger buffered and overvoltage tolerant to 5.5 V.
2 A1 input Address input A1 of the 3-to-8 decoder; inputs are Schmitt-trigger buffered and overvoltage tolerant to 5.5 V.
3 A2 input Address input A2 of the 3-to-8 decoder; inputs are Schmitt-trigger buffered and overvoltage tolerant to 5.5 V.
4 E1 input Active-LOW enable input; all outputs stay HIGH unless E1 and E2 are LOW and E3 is HIGH.
5 E2 input Active-LOW enable input; all outputs stay HIGH unless E1 and E2 are LOW and E3 is HIGH.
6 E3 input Active-HIGH enable input; all outputs stay HIGH unless E1 and E2 are LOW and E3 is HIGH.
7 Y7 output Mutually exclusive decoder output for address 7; goes LOW when selected and HIGH otherwise, with output current limited to ±50 mA.
8 GND power_in Ground (0 V) reference for all voltages; not an electrical or mechanical requirement to solder pad (SOT763 note) and applies to SO16 ground pin.
9 Y6 output Mutually exclusive decoder output for address 6; goes LOW when selected and HIGH otherwise, with output current limited to ±50 mA.
10 Y5 output Mutually exclusive decoder output for address 5; goes LOW when selected and HIGH otherwise, with output current limited to ±50 mA.
11 Y4 output Mutually exclusive decoder output for address 4; goes LOW when selected and HIGH otherwise, with output current limited to ±50 mA.
12 Y3 output Mutually exclusive decoder output for address 3; goes LOW when selected and HIGH otherwise, with output current limited to ±50 mA.
13 Y2 output Mutually exclusive decoder output for address 2; goes LOW when selected and HIGH otherwise, with output current limited to ±50 mA.
14 Y1 output Mutually exclusive decoder output for address 1; goes LOW when selected and HIGH otherwise, with output current limited to ±50 mA.
15 Y0 output Mutually exclusive decoder output for address 0; goes LOW when selected and HIGH otherwise, with output current limited to ±50 mA.
16 VCC power_in Supply voltage; recommended 1.65 V to 3.6 V, functional down to 1.2 V, with absolute maximum of 6.5 V.
