Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A0 | input | Address input 0 (LSB). Binary-weighted select input to the 3-to-8 decoder. |
| 2 | A1 | input | Address input 1. Binary-weighted select input to the 3-to-8 decoder. |
| 3 | A2 | input | Address input 2 (MSB). Binary-weighted select input to the 3-to-8 decoder. |
| 4 | E1 | input | Enable input 1, active LOW. All outputs are forced HIGH when E1 is HIGH. |
| 5 | E2 | input | Enable input 2, active LOW. All outputs are forced HIGH when E2 is HIGH. |
| 6 | E3 | input | Enable input 3, active HIGH. All outputs are forced HIGH when E3 is LOW. |
| 7 | Y7 | output | Decoded output 7, active LOW. Asserts LOW when A2:A0 = 111 and all enables are active. |
| 8 | GND | power_in | Ground reference (0 V). |
| 9 | Y6 | output | Decoded output 6, active LOW. Asserts LOW when A2:A0 = 110 and all enables are active. |
| 10 | Y5 | output | Decoded output 5, active LOW. Asserts LOW when A2:A0 = 101 and all enables are active. |
| 11 | Y4 | output | Decoded output 4, active LOW. Asserts LOW when A2:A0 = 100 and all enables are active. |
| 12 | Y3 | output | Decoded output 3, active LOW. Asserts LOW when A2:A0 = 011 and all enables are active. |
| 13 | Y2 | output | Decoded output 2, active LOW. Asserts LOW when A2:A0 = 010 and all enables are active. |
| 14 | Y1 | output | Decoded output 1, active LOW. Asserts LOW when A2:A0 = 001 and all enables are active. |
| 15 | Y0 | output | Decoded output 0, active LOW. Asserts LOW when A2:A0 = 000 and all enables are active. |
| 16 | VCC | power_in | Supply voltage, 2.0 V to 6.0 V. |

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:
| File | Size | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
74hc138pw.step |
205 KB | You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards. |
74hc138pw-etched.step |
2.2 MB | You want the part with 74HC138PW already on it. |
The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 558 faces against 255 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
