74HC138N

HGSEMI · Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders · DIP-16

74HC138N from HGSEMI, in a DIP-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-weighted address input A (least significant bit) that, together with B and C, selects which one of Y0-Y7 is driven low; input voltage must stay within -0.5 V to VCC+0.5 V.
2 B input Binary-weighted address input B that, together with A and C, selects which one of Y0-Y7 is driven low; input voltage must stay within -0.5 V to VCC+0.5 V.
3 C input Binary-weighted address input C (most significant bit) that, together with A and B, selects which one of Y0-Y7 is driven low; input voltage must stay within -0.5 V to VCC+0.5 V.
4 G2B input Active-low enable input; the decoder is enabled only when G2B and G2A are both low and G1 is high, and the input voltage must stay within -0.5 V to VCC+0.5 V.
5 G2A input Active-low enable input; the decoder is enabled only when G2A and G2B are both low and G1 is high, and the input voltage must stay within -0.5 V to VCC+0.5 V.
6 G1 input Active-high enable input that must be high (with G2A and G2B low) for the decoder outputs to be active; input voltage must stay within -0.5 V to VCC+0.5 V.
7 Y7 output Active-low decoded output Y7, driven low when address 111 is selected with the device enabled; output current is limited to 25 mA per pin.
8 GND power_in Ground reference pin for the device.
9 Y6 output Active-low decoded output Y6, driven low when address 110 is selected with the device enabled; output current is limited to 25 mA per pin.
10 Y5 output Active-low decoded output Y5, driven low when address 101 is selected with the device enabled; output current is limited to 25 mA per pin.
11 Y4 output Active-low decoded output Y4, driven low when address 100 is selected with the device enabled; output current is limited to 25 mA per pin.
12 Y3 output Active-low decoded output Y3, driven low when address 011 is selected with the device enabled; output current is limited to 25 mA per pin.
13 Y2 output Active-low decoded output Y2, driven low when address 010 is selected with the device enabled; output current is limited to 25 mA per pin.
14 Y1 output Active-low decoded output Y1, driven low when address 001 is selected with the device enabled; output current is limited to 25 mA per pin.
15 Y0 output Active-low decoded output Y0, driven low when address 000 is selected with the device enabled; output current is limited to 25 mA per pin.
16 VCC power_in Positive supply pin; the datasheet recommends 2 V to 6 V (typical 5 V) and gives an absolute maximum of -0.5 V to 6.5 V.
