CD74HC238M96G4

Overview

The CD74HC238M96G4 is a high-speed CMOS logic device functioning as a 3-to-8 line decoder and demultiplexer. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V and supports an operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C. The component utilizes a 16-pin SOIC package with a width of 3.90mm. It features three address inputs, eight active-low outputs, and three enable inputs: two active-low and one active-high. The device provides low static power consumption and robust output drive capabilities suitable for various digital logic applications.

Feature Summary

• Provides decoding and demultiplexing functions via three address lines controlling eight distinct outputs
• Features multiple enable inputs allowing flexible chip selection and system integration
• Operates reliably across extended industrial temperature ranges with wide voltage tolerance

Applications

• Address decoding in microprocessor-based systems
• Data distribution in digital communication circuits
• Memory chip select generation in embedded designs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix G4 indicates RoHS compliance and green material status when sourcing. Confirm the SOIC-16 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the active-low output polarity aligns with your downstream circuit design. Check for any recent product change notices regarding manufacturing location or material composition updates.

Selection Notes

Select this component when requiring a standard 3-to-8 decoder with wide voltage compatibility. Consider the HC series speed characteristics against lower-power alternatives if power consumption is critical. Verify that the single-chip configuration meets your board space constraints compared to multi-gate options. Ensure the operating temperature range covers your specific environmental conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments CD74HC238 family of high-speed CMOS logic devices. It shares functional similarities with other 74HC series decoders but offers specific pinout and enable configurations. The M96G4 designation identifies the specific tape-and-reel packaging and compliance attributes within the broader product line.
