IN74HCT138A
1-OF-8 DECODER/DEMULTIPLEXER
High-Performance Silicon-Gate CMOS
The IN74HCT138A is identical in pinout to the LS/ALS138.
The IN74HCT138A may be used as a level converter for
interfacing TTL or NMOS outputs to High Speed CMOS inputs.
The IN74HCT138A decodes a three-bit Address to one-of-
eight active-lot 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.
