The “238” features three enable inputs: two active LOW (E1 and E2) and one active HIGH (E3). Every output will be LOW unless E1 and E2 are LOW and E3 is HIGH. FEATURES • Demultiplexing capability • Multiple input enable for easy expansion • Ideal for memory chip select decoding • Active HIGH mutually exclusive outputs 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. • Output capability: standard • 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 input and the remaining enable inputs as strobes. Unused enable inputs must be permanently tied to their appropriate active HIGH or LOW state. 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 “238” is identical to the “138” but has non-inverting outputs. The 74HC/HCT238 decoders accept three binary weighted address inputs (A0, A1, A2) and when enabled, QUICK REFERENCE DATA GND = 0 V; Tamb = 25 °C; tr = tf = 6 ns TYPICAL SYMBOL tPHL/ tPLH PARAMETER CONDITIONS HCT An to Yn 14 18 ns E3 to Yn 16 20 ns En to Yn 17 21 ns 3.5 3.5 pF 72 76 pF propagation delay CI input capacitance CPD power dissipation capacitance per package CL = 15 pF; VCC = 5 V notes 1 and 2 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.
