Shenzhen Fuman · Signal Switches / Encoders & Decoders / Multiplexers · SOP-16

74HC138B from Shenzhen Fuman, in a SOP-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 A0 input Address input bit 0 (LSB). Binary-weighted select input used with A1 and A2 to choose which one of the eight outputs Y0-Y7 is driven active-LOW.
2 A1 input Address input bit 1. Binary-weighted select input used with A0 and A2 to choose the active output.
3 A2 input Address input bit 2 (MSB). Binary-weighted select input used with A0 and A1 to choose the active output.
4 E1 input Active-LOW enable input 1. Must be LOW (together with E2 LOW and E3 HIGH) for any decoded output to be asserted; otherwise all Y outputs are held HIGH.
5 E2 input Active-LOW enable input 2. Must be LOW (together with E1 LOW and E3 HIGH) for any decoded output to be asserted; otherwise all Y outputs are held HIGH.
6 E3 input Active-HIGH enable input. Must be HIGH (with E1 and E2 LOW) to enable decoding; otherwise all Y outputs are held HIGH.
7 Y7 output Decoded output 7 (active-LOW). Driven LOW when the device is enabled and A2:A0 = 111; HIGH otherwise.
8 GND power_in Ground reference (0 V). Return for VCC and all logic signals.
9 Y6 output Decoded output 6 (active-LOW). Driven LOW when the device is enabled and A2:A0 = 110; HIGH otherwise.
10 Y5 output Decoded output 5 (active-LOW). Driven LOW when the device is enabled and A2:A0 = 101; HIGH otherwise.
11 Y4 output Decoded output 4 (active-LOW). Driven LOW when the device is enabled and A2:A0 = 100; HIGH otherwise.
12 Y3 output Decoded output 3 (active-LOW). Driven LOW when the device is enabled and A2:A0 = 011; HIGH otherwise.
13 Y2 output Decoded output 2 (active-LOW). Driven LOW when the device is enabled and A2:A0 = 010; HIGH otherwise.
14 Y1 output Decoded output 1 (active-LOW). Driven LOW when the device is enabled and A2:A0 = 001; HIGH otherwise.
15 Y0 output Decoded output 0 (active-LOW). Driven LOW when the device is enabled and A2:A0 = 000; HIGH otherwise.
16 VCC power_in Positive supply voltage, 3.0 V to 5.0 V operating range. Decouple to GND close to the package.
