The 74F538 IC is a part of the high speed 74F IC family. The 74F538 IC is a 1-of-8 decoder/demultiplexer that accepts three address (A0 – A2) input signals and decodes them to select one of eight mutually exclusive outputs. A Polarity control (P) input determines whether the outputs are active Low or active High. The 74F538 has 3-State outputs, and a High signal on the Output Enables (OEn) inputs will force all outputs to the high impedance state. Two active High (E2, E3) and two active Low (E0, E1) inputs are available for easy expansion to 1-of-32 decoding with four packages, or for data demultiplexing to 1-of-8 or 1-of-16 destinations. 74F538 IC has a wide range of working voltage, a wide range of working conditions, and directly interfaces with CMOS, NMOS, and TTL.
What is a Decoder/Demultiplexer Circuit?
A decoder/demultiplexer is a combinational logic circuit & an integral part of todays consumer scale electronics. It is designed to switch one common input line to one of several separate output lines. So, A demultiplexer converts a serial data signal at the input to a parallel data at its output lines.
