The 74HC238 decodes three binary weighted address inputs (A0, A1 and A2) to eight mutually exclusive outputs (Y0 to Y7). The device features three enable inputs (E1 and E2 and E3). Every output will be LOW unless E1 and E2 are LOW and E3 is HIGH.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

James ★★★★★

It was a breeze integrating this into my circuit because each of the eight outputs activates cleanly without any cross-talk. The three enable pins made it simple to cascade multiple chips for a larger addressable LED array.

Olivia ★★★★★

The three enable inputs gave me exactly the flexibility I needed to cascade two of these for a 16-channel setup, and the outputs switch cleanly without any glitching. Soldered up in minutes and decoded flawlessly on the first try.

Joseph ★★★★★

Working on a project where each output had to be mutually exclusive, this chip made the address decoding dead simple. The three enable inputs gave me exactly the control I needed for the logic.
