SN74AHCT138DR from Texas Instruments, 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 | A | input | Address input A of the 3-line to 8-line decoder; inputs are TTL-voltage compatible and must not be left floating. |
| 2 | B | input | Address input B of the 3-line to 8-line decoder; inputs are TTL-voltage compatible and must not be left floating. |
| 3 | C | input | Address input C of the 3-line to 8-line decoder; inputs are TTL-voltage compatible and must not be left floating. |
| 4 | G2A | input | Strobe (enable) input 2A, active low, used with G2B and G1 to enable the decoder outputs. |
| 5 | G2B | input | Strobe (enable) input 2B, active low, used with G2A and G1 to enable the decoder outputs. |
| 6 | G1 | input | Strobe (enable) input G1, used with G2A and G2B to enable the decoder outputs. |
| 7 | Y7 | output | Decoder output 7, driven by the 3-line to 8-line decode of inputs A, B and C when enabled. |
| 8 | GND | power_in | Ground reference for the device. |
| 9 | Y6 | output | Decoder output 6, driven by the 3-line to 8-line decode of inputs A, B and C when enabled. |
| 10 | Y5 | output | Decoder output 5, driven by the 3-line to 8-line decode of inputs A, B and C when enabled. |
| 11 | Y4 | output | Decoder output 4, driven by the 3-line to 8-line decode of inputs A, B and C when enabled. |
| 12 | Y3 | output | Decoder output 3, driven by the 3-line to 8-line decode of inputs A, B and C when enabled. |
| 13 | Y2 | output | Decoder output 2, driven by the 3-line to 8-line decode of inputs A, B and C when enabled. |
| 14 | Y1 | output | Decoder output 1, driven by the 3-line to 8-line decode of inputs A, B and C when enabled. |
| 15 | Y0 | output | Decoder output 0, driven by the 3-line to 8-line decode of inputs A, B and C when enabled. |
| 16 | VCC | power_in | Positive supply; recommended supply range is 1.5 V to 5.5 V and each VCC terminal should have a bypass capacitor (0.1 µF recommended). |
