3-to-8 line decoder/demultiplexer 74HC/HCT238

FEATURES provide 8 mutually exclusive active HIGH outputs


(Y0 to Y7).
• Demultiplexing capability
The “238” features three enable inputs: two active LOW
• Multiple input enable for easy expansion (E1 and E2) and one active HIGH (E3). Every output will be
• Ideal for memory chip select decoding LOW unless E1 and E2 are LOW and E3 is HIGH.
• Active HIGH mutually exclusive outputs This multiple enable function allows easy parallel
• Output capability: standard expansion of the “238” to a 1-of-32 (5 lines to 32 lines)
decoder with just four “238” ICs and one inverter.
• ICC category: MSI
The “238” can be used as an eight output demultiplexer by
using one of the active LOW enable inputs as the data

Notes
1. CPD is used to determine the dynamic power dissipation (PD in µW):
PD = CPD × VCC2 × fi + ∑ (CL × VCC2 × fo) where:
fi = input frequency in MHz
fo = output frequency in MHz
∑ (CL × VCC2 × fo) = sum of outputs
CL = output load capacitance in pF
VCC = supply voltage in V
2. For HC the condition is VI = GND to VCC
For HCT the condition is VI = GND to VCC − 1.5 V
