About this product
The 74HC138 is a high-speed CMOS 3-to-8 line decoder and demultiplexer. Three binary select inputs choose one of eight active-low outputs, and enable inputs control operation. It is used for memory chip selection, address decoding and expanding the number of outputs in digital projects. It comes in a surface-mount SOIC-16 package.

Frequently asked questions
What is the price of 74HC138 3-to-8 Line Decoder/Demultiplexer, SMD SOIC-16 in Egypt?
74HC138 3-to-8 Line Decoder/Demultiplexer, SMD SOIC-16 currently costs 30 EGP in Egypt.
Where can I buy 74HC138 3-to-8 Line Decoder/Demultiplexer, SMD SOIC-16 in Egypt?
74HC138 3-to-8 Line Decoder/Demultiplexer, SMD SOIC-16 is available from Future Electronics. Compare the offers above to find the best price.
How do I enable the 74HC138?
It has three enable inputs. Two of them (E1 and E2) are active-low and one (E3) is active-high. All three must be in their active state for the chip to decode; otherwise all outputs stay high.
How do I select which output is active?
Apply a 3-bit binary value to the address inputs A0, A1 and A2. The value selects one of the outputs Y0 to Y7, and that output goes low while the rest stay high.
