SN74LS138N(74LS138) Logic chip
This content will be shared across all product pages.
The SN74LS138N is a 3-to-8 line decoder/demultiplexer from the 74LS series of TTL logic ICs. It takes a 3-bit binary input and decodes it into one of eight outputs. Each output corresponds to one of the possible combinations of the three input bits, making it a useful component for addressing memory, selecting data sources, and implementing various digital logic functions. The SN74LS138N features active-low outputs and three enable inputs, allowing for greater flexibility in digital circuit design.
