CD74HCT238PWR from Texas Instruments, in a TSSOP-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 select 0 input, one of three binary address inputs that selects which of outputs Y0 to Y7 is active.
2 A1 input Address select 1 input, one of three binary address inputs that selects which of outputs Y0 to Y7 is active.
3 A2 input Address select 2 input, one of three binary address inputs that selects which of outputs Y0 to Y7 is active.
4 G0 input Output strobe 0, active-low enable input; when gated, all outputs are forced to the inactive state.
5 G1 input Output strobe 1, active-low enable input; when gated, all outputs are forced to the inactive state.
6 G2 input Output strobe 2, the standard (non-inverted) output strobe input that together with G0 and G1 gates the outputs.
7 Y7 output Decoder output 7, active high for the HCT238 and driven to the inactive (low) level when the outputs are disabled by the strobes.
8 GND power_in Ground reference for the device.
9 Y6 output Decoder output 6, active high for the HCT238 and driven to the inactive (low) level when the outputs are disabled by the strobes.

11 Y4 output Decoder output 4, active high for the HCT238 and driven to the inactive (low) level when the outputs are disabled by the strobes.
12 Y3 output Decoder output 3, active high for the HCT238 and driven to the inactive (low) level when the outputs are disabled by the strobes.
13 Y2 output Decoder output 2, active high for the HCT238 and driven to the inactive (low) level when the outputs are disabled by the strobes.
14 Y1 output Decoder output 1, active high for the HCT238 and driven to the inactive (low) level when the outputs are disabled by the strobes.
15 Y0 output Decoder output 0, active high for the HCT238 and driven to the inactive (low) level when the outputs are disabled by the strobes.
16 VCC power_in Positive supply pin for the device.
