CD74HC238E (74HC238)

Description:

The CD74HC238E features three binary-coded inputs (A, B, and C) and eight active-low outputs (Y0 to Y7). Depending on the combination of inputs, one of the eight outputs is selected and driven low while the remaining outputs remain high. This IC operates at high speed with minimal power consumption, making it suitable for various digital logic circuits where efficient address decoding and selection are required.

Key Features:

• 3-to-8 line decoder/demultiplexer
• High-speed CMOS technology
• Low power consumption
• Wide operating voltage range: 2V to 6V
• Typical propagation delay: 21 ns at VCC = 5V, CL = 15 pF
• High output drive capability: ±5.2 mA at VCC = 5V
• Active-low outputs for direct interface with TTL logic
• Schmitt-trigger action on all inputs for improved noise immunity
