SN74LS138N Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The SN74LS138N is a 3-line to 8-line decoder/demultiplexer IC manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the LS technology family and features one independent circuit configured as 1x3:8.

 

This device operates with a single supply voltage ranging from 4.75V to 5.25V and has a maximum supply current of 10000µA. The operating temperature range is specified as 0°C to 70°C. It is designed for high-speed memory decoding or data-routing applications.

 

The SN74LS138N is available in a 16-PDIP package and supports through-hole mounting. It features three enable inputs, two active-low and one active-high, which simplify cascading and data reception, reducing the need for external gates or inverters. All inputs are fully buffered and clamped with Schottky diodes to suppress line-ringing and simplify system design.
