Product data sheet
1. General description
The 74HC138; 74HCT138 decodes three binary weighted address inputs (A0, A1 and A2)
to eight mutually exclusive outputs (Y0 to Y7). The device features three enable inputs
(E1, E2 and E3). Every output will be HIGH unless E1 and E2 are LOW and E3 is HIGH.
This multiple enable function allows easy parallel expansion to a 1-of-32 (5 to 32 lines)
decoder with just four ‘138’ ICs and one inverter. The ‘138’ can be used as an eight output
demultiplexer by using one of the active LOW enable inputs as the data input and the
remaining enable inputs as strobes. Inputs include clamp diodes. This enables the use of
current limiting resistors to interface inputs to voltages in excess of V_CC.
