FEATURES
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 (A

The “238” features three enable inputs: two active LOW

LOW unless E
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.
