The SNx4HC138 devices are 3-to-8 decoders and demultiplexers. The three input pins, A, B, and C, select which output is active. The selected output is pulled LOW, while the remaining outputs are all HIGH. The conditions at the binary-select inputs at the three enable inputs select one of eight output lines. Two active-low and one active-high enable inputs reduce the requirement for external gates or inverters when expanding. A 24-line decoder can be implemented without external inverters, and a 32-line decoder requires only one inverter. An enable input can be used as a data input for demultiplexing applications.
