SN74HCS238 3- to 8-Line Decoder/Demultiplexer with Schmitt-Trigger Inputs

1 Features

• Wide operating voltage range: 2 V to 6 V

• Schmitt-trigger inputs allow for slow or noisy input

signals

• Low power consumption

– Typical input leakage current of ±100 nA

• ±7.8-mA output drive at 6 V

• Extended ambient temperature range: –40°C to

2 Applications

• Memory device selection with shared data bus

• Reduce required number of outputs for chip select

applications

• Route data

3 Description

The SN74HCS238 is a three to eight decoder with

gated by any of the strobe inputs, they are all forced

into the low state. When the outputs are not disabled

by the strobe inputs, only the selected output is high

while all others are low.
