1-of-8 Decoder/Demultiplexer
High-Performance Silicon-Gate CMOS
The IN74HC138A is identical in pinout to the LS/ALS138. The
device inputs are compatible with standard CMOS outputs; with pullup
resistors, they are compatible with LS/ALSTTL outputs.
The IN74HC138A decodes a three-bit Address to one-of-eight
active-low outputs. This device features three Chip Select inputs, two
active-low and one active-high to facilitate the demultiplexing,
cascading, and chip-selecting functions. The demultiplexing function is
accomplished by using the Address inputs to select the desired device
output; one of the Chip Selects is used as a data input while the other
Chip Selects are held in their active states.
•
