3-to-8 decoderdemultiplexeractive-low outputsCDIP-16military temperature range

SN54HC138J is a ceramic 3-to-8 decoder/demultiplexer for 2 V to 6 V logic systems. When enabled, it drives exactly one selected output low.

Best for

  • 3-to-8 active-low decoding
  • Demultiplexing control signals
  • Wide-temperature logic designs

Avoid if

  • A high-active decoded output is required without inversion
  • A surface-mount package is required
  • RoHS-compliant package material is mandatory

Check before use

  • G1 must be high and G2A/G2B low to enable outputs
  • Confirm output load current and voltage levels
  • Place a bypass capacitor close to VCC
