Description
The ’AC138, ’ACT138, CD74AC238, and CD74ACT238 are
3-to-8-line decoders/demultiplexers that utilize Advanced
CMOS Logic technology. Both circuits have three binary
select inputs (A0, A1, and A2). If the device is enabled, these
inputs determine which one of the eight normally HIGH out-
puts of the AC/ACT138 will go LOW or which on of the nor-
mally LOW outputs of the AC/ACT238 will go HIGH. Two
active LOW and one active HIGH enables (E1, E2 and E3)
are provided to simplify the cascading of these devices.
