3-to-8 line decoder/demultiplexer
Product specification
74HC/HCT238
FEATURES

• Multiple input enable for easy expansion
• Ideal for memory chip select decoding
• Active HIGH mutually exclusive outputs
• Output capability: standard
• I_CC category: MSI
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 74HC/HCT238 are high-speed Si-gate CMOS devices
and are pin compatible with low power Schottky TTL
(LSTTL). They are specified in compliance with JEDEC
standard no. 7A.
The 74HC/HCT238 decoders accept three binary
weighted address inputs (A₀, A₁, A₂) and when enabled,
provide 8 mutually exclusive active HIGH outputs
(Y₀ to Y₇).
The “238” features three enable inputs: two active LOW
(E₁ and E₂) and one active HIGH (E₃). Every output will be
LOW unless E₁ and E₂ are LOW and E₃ is HIGH.
This multiple enable function allows easy parallel
expansion of the “238” to a 1-of-32 (5 lines to 32 lines)
decoder with just four “238” ICs and one inverter.
The “238” 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. Unused
enable inputs must be permanently tied to their
appropriate active HIGH or LOW state.
The “238” is identical to the “138” but has non-inverting
outputs.

Notes
1. C_PD is used to determine the dynamic power dissipation (P_D in µW):
P_D = C_PD × V_CC2 × f_i + ∑ (C_L × V_CC2 × f_o) where:
f_i = input frequency in MHz
f_o = output frequency in MHz
∑ (C_L × V_CC2 × f_o) = sum of outputs
C_L = output load capacitance in pF
V_CC = supply voltage in V
2. For HC the condition is V_I = GND to V_CC
For HCT the condition is V_I = GND to V_CC − 1.5 V
