SN74HCT138DR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 A input Binary address select input A (LSB); TTL-compatible with VIH ≥ 2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V; selects one of eight outputs in combination with B and C.
2 B input Binary address select input B (middle bit); TTL-compatible with VIH ≥ 2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V.
3 C input Binary address select input C (MSB); TTL-compatible with VIH ≥ 2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V.
4 ~{G2A} input Active-low enable input G2A; all outputs forced high when this pin is high; must be low together with ~G2B and G1 high to enable the decoder; VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V, IImax = 1 µA.
5 ~{G2B} input Active-low enable input G2B; all outputs forced high when this pin is high; must be low together with ~G2A and G1 high to enable the decoder; VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V, IImax = 1 µA.
6 G1 input Active-high enable input; all outputs forced high when G1 is low; must be high together with ~G2A and ~G2B both low to enable the decoder; VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V, IImax = 1 µA.
7 Y7 output Active-low decoded output 7; asserted low when G1=H, ~G2A=L, ~G2B=L and CBA=111; VOH ≥ 3.84 V at IOH = -4 mA, VOL ≤ 0.33 V at IOL = 4 mA, tpd ≤ 45 ns at VCC = 4.5 V.
8 GND power_in Ground reference (0 V); continuous current through GND pin must not exceed ±50 mA.
9 Y6 output Active-low decoded output 6; asserted low when G1=H, ~G2A=L, ~G2B=L and CBA=110; VOH ≥ 3.84 V at IOH = -4 mA, VOL ≤ 0.33 V at IOL = 4 mA, tpd ≤ 45 ns at VCC = 4.5 V.
10 Y5 output Active-low decoded output 5; asserted low when G1=H, ~G2A=L, ~G2B=L and CBA=101; VOH ≥ 3.84 V at IOH = -4 mA, VOL ≤ 0.33 V at IOL = 4 mA, tpd ≤ 45 ns at VCC = 4.5 V.
11 Y4 output Active-low decoded output 4; asserted low when G1=H, ~G2A=L, ~G2B=L and CBA=100; VOH ≥ 3.84 V at IOH = -4 mA, VOL ≤ 0.33 V at IOL = 4 mA, tpd ≤ 45 ns at VCC = 4.5 V.
12 Y3 output Active-low decoded output 3; asserted low when G1=H, ~G2A=L, ~G2B=L and CBA=011; VOH ≥ 3.84 V at IOH = -4 mA, VOL ≤ 0.33 V at IOL = 4 mA, tpd ≤ 45 ns at VCC = 4.5 V.
13 Y2 output Active-low decoded output 2; asserted low when G1=H, ~G2A=L, ~G2B=L and CBA=010; VOH ≥ 3.84 V at IOH = -4 mA, VOL ≤ 0.33 V at IOL = 4 mA, tpd ≤ 45 ns at VCC = 4.5 V.
14 Y1 output Active-low decoded output 1; asserted low when G1=H, ~G2A=L, ~G2B=L and CBA=001; VOH ≥ 3.84 V at IOH = -4 mA, VOL ≤ 0.33 V at IOL = 4 mA, tpd ≤ 45 ns at VCC = 4.5 V.
15 Y0 output Active-low decoded output 0; asserted low when G1=H, ~G2A=L, ~G2B=L and CBA=000; VOH ≥ 3.84 V at IOH = -4 mA, VOL ≤ 0.33 V at IOL = 4 mA, tpd ≤ 45 ns at VCC = 4.5 V.
16 VCC power_in Positive supply voltage; recommended operating range 4.5 V to 5.5 V; absolute maximum 7 V; each VCC pin should be bypassed with a 0.1 µF capacitor; continuous current ±50 mA max.
