Overview

Description

The SN74LS138N is a high-speed, low-power 3-to-8 line decoder/demultiplexer from Texas Instruments, part of the 74LS (Low Power Schottky) series. It has three input lines (A0, A1, A2) and eight output lines (Y0 to Y7). The device activates one of the eight outputs based on the binary value of the inputs, while all other outputs remain inactive.
Key features include a wide operating voltage range (4.75V to 5.25V), fast propagation delay (typically 10ns), and low power consumption, making it suitable for various digital applications. It also includes enable inputs (G1, G2A, G2B) that allow for control over the output activation, enabling cascading of multiple decoders for larger decoding scenarios.
The SN74LS138N is commonly used in memory address decoding, data routing, and various logic circuits, providing efficient and reliable performance in electronic designs. Its TTL compatibility ensures ease of integration with other digital logic devices.

Features

The SN74LS138N is a triple 3-to-8 line decoder/demultiplexer with the following key features:
1. Inputs and Outputs: It has three binary select inputs (A0, A1, A2) and eight active-low outputs (Y0 to Y7).
2. Enable Inputs: Two active-low enable inputs (G1, G2A, G2B) control the decoder’s operation, allowing for cascading and flexibility in design.
3. Low Power Consumption: Part of the low-power TTL family, it operates with reduced power requirements.
4. High Speed: Typical propagation delay is around 10 ns, making it suitable for high-speed applications.
5. Fan-out Capability: Each output can drive up to 10 standard TTL loads, facilitating multiple connections.
6. Wide Operating Voltage Range: Compatible with a 4.75V to 5.25V supply voltage range.
7. Temperature Range: Designed for industrial applications, it operates across a standard temperature range.
This device is commonly used in memory decoding, data routing, and as a demultiplexer in digital circuit applications.

Package

The SN74LS138N is typically available in a 16-pin dual in-line package (DIP) format. It can also be found in surface-mount configurations like SOIC. The "N" suffix indicates the plastic DIP type.

Pinout

The SN74LS138N is a 3-to-8 line decoder/demultiplexer with a total of 16 pins. Its pin configuration and functions are as follows:
1. A0 (Pin 1) - Input 0
2. A1 (Pin 2) - Input 1
3. A2 (Pin 3) - Input 2
4. G1 (Pin 4) - Enable input (active high)
5. G2A (Pin 5) - Enable input (active low)
6. G2B (Pin 6) - Enable input (active low)
7. Y0 (Pin 7) - Output 0 (active low)
8. Y1 (Pin 8) - Output 1 (active low)
9. Y2 (Pin 9) - Output 2 (active low)
10. Y3 (Pin 10) - Output 3 (active low)
11. Y4 (Pin 11) - Output 4 (active low)
12. Y5 (Pin 12) - Output 5 (active low)
