SN74LVC138AQDRG4Q1

Texas Instruments · Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders · SOIC-16

SN74LVC138AQDRG4Q1 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 Binary-select address input (least significant bit); inputs accept voltages up to 5.5 V and can be driven from 3.3 V or 5 V devices.
2 B input Binary-select address input (middle bit); inputs accept voltages up to 5.5 V and can be driven from 3.3 V or 5 V devices.
3 C input Binary-select address input (most significant bit); inputs accept voltages up to 5.5 V and can be driven from 3.3 V or 5 V devices.
4 G2A input Active-low enable input; it must be low, together with G2B low and G1 high, for the decoder to select an output.
5 G2B input Active-low enable input; it must be low, together with G2A low and G1 high, for the decoder to select an output.
6 G1 input Active-high enable input; it must be high, with G2A and G2B low, for the decoder to select an output.
7 Y7 output Active-low decoder output that goes low only when A, B, C = H, H, H and all enables are active; otherwise it stays high.
8 GND power_in Ground reference for the device.
9 Y6 output Active-low decoder output that goes low only when A, B, C = L, H, H and all enables are active; otherwise it stays high.
10 Y5 output Active-low decoder output that goes low only when A, B, C = H, L, H and all enables are active; otherwise it stays high.
11 Y4 output Active-low decoder output that goes low only when A, B, C = L, L, H and all enables are active; otherwise it stays high.
12 Y3 output Active-low decoder output that goes low only when A, B, C = H, H, L and all enables are active; otherwise it stays high.
13 Y2 output Active-low decoder output that goes low only when A, B, C = L, H, L and all enables are active; otherwise it stays high.
14 Y1 output Active-low decoder output that goes low only when A, B, C = H, L, L and all enables are active; otherwise it stays high.
15 Y0 output Active-low decoder output that goes low only when A, B, C = L, L, L and all enables are active; otherwise it stays high.
16 VCC power_in Supply voltage; the recommended operating range is 2 V to 3.6 V.
