lingxingic · Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders · DIP-16

CD74HC238E from lingxingic, in a DIP-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 Binary-weighted address input A0; together with A1 and A2 it selects which one of the eight outputs Y0 to Y7 goes HIGH.
2 A1 input Binary-weighted address input A1; together with A0 and A2 it selects which one of the eight outputs Y0 to Y7 goes HIGH.
3 A2 input Binary-weighted address input A2; together with A0 and A1 it selects which one of the eight outputs Y0 to Y7 goes HIGH.
4 E1 input Enable input, active LOW; all outputs stay LOW unless E1 and E2 are LOW and E3 is HIGH.
5 E2 input Enable input, active LOW; all outputs stay LOW unless E1 and E2 are LOW and E3 is HIGH.
6 E3 input Enable input, active HIGH; all outputs stay LOW unless E1 and E2 are LOW and E3 is HIGH.
7 Y7 output Decoder output Y7, active HIGH; mutually exclusive with the other outputs and LOW unless its address is selected and the enables are active.
8 GND power_in Ground (0V) reference for all voltages on the device.
9 Y6 output Decoder output Y6, active HIGH; mutually exclusive with the other outputs and LOW unless its address is selected and the enables are active.
10 Y5 output Decoder output Y5, active HIGH; mutually exclusive with the other outputs and LOW unless its address is selected and the enables are active.
11 Y4 output Decoder output Y4, active HIGH; mutually exclusive with the other outputs and LOW unless its address is selected and the enables are active.
12 Y3 output Decoder output Y3, active HIGH; mutually exclusive with the other outputs and LOW unless its address is selected and the enables are active.
13 Y2 output Decoder output Y2, active HIGH; mutually exclusive with the other outputs and LOW unless its address is selected and the enables are active.
14 Y1 output Decoder output Y1, active HIGH; mutually exclusive with the other outputs and LOW unless its address is selected and the enables are active.
15 Y0 output Decoder output Y0, active HIGH; mutually exclusive with the other outputs and LOW unless its address is selected and the enables are active.
16 VCC power_in Supply voltage; recommended range 2.0 V to 6.0 V for CD74HC238 and 4.5 V to 5.5 V for CD74HCT238 (absolute maximum 7.0 V).
