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

SN74LVC138AQDRQ1 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 input A (LSB); accepts input voltages from 0 V to 5.5 V with VCC operating from 2 V to 3.6 V; selects one of eight active-low outputs in combination with B and C.
2 B input Binary select input B; accepts input voltages from 0 V to 5.5 V with VCC operating from 2 V to 3.6 V; selects one of eight active-low outputs in combination with A and C.
3 C input Binary select input C (MSB); accepts input voltages from 0 V to 5.5 V with VCC operating from 2 V to 3.6 V; selects one of eight active-low outputs in combination with A and B.
4 G2A input Active-low enable input; when HIGH, forces all outputs HIGH regardless of select inputs or G1 and G2B; VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 2.7 V to 3.6 V.
5 G2B input Active-low enable input; when HIGH, forces all outputs HIGH regardless of select inputs or G1 and G2A; VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 2.7 V to 3.6 V.
6 G1 input Active-high enable input; when LOW, forces all outputs HIGH regardless of select inputs or G2A and G2B; VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 2.7 V to 3.6 V.
7 Y7 output Active-low decoded output Y7; driven LOW when G1=H, G2A=L, G2B=L, C=H, B=H, A=H; IOL max 24 mA, IOH max −24 mA at VCC = 3 V; max tpd 5.8 ns at 3.3 V.
8 GND power_in Ground supply reference; continuous current through GND pin rated ±100 mA.
9 Y6 output Active-low decoded output Y6; driven LOW when G1=H, G2A=L, G2B=L, C=H, B=H, A=L; IOL max 24 mA, IOH max −24 mA at VCC = 3 V; max tpd 5.8 ns at 3.3 V.
10 Y5 output Active-low decoded output Y5; driven LOW when G1=H, G2A=L, G2B=L, C=H, B=L, A=H; IOL max 24 mA, IOH max −24 mA at VCC = 3 V; max tpd 5.8 ns at 3.3 V.
