The MC74ACT138DR2 is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by ON Semiconductor. This IC belongs to the ACT family and offers multiplexing/demultiplexing capabilities. It serves as a 3-to-8 decoder/demultiplexer chip, which means it can convert a 3-bit binary input into an 8-line output.
Key Features:
1. High-Speed Operation: The MC74ACT138DR2 operates at a high speed, making it suitable for various applications that require swift data processing.
2. Low Power Consumption: This IC component is designed to consume low power, ensuring efficient energy usage and reducing heat generation.
3. Wide Operating Voltage Range: It can operate within a broad voltage range, typically between 2.0V and 6.0V, making it compatible with both TTL and CMOS logic systems.
4. Three Binary Inputs: The IC has three input pins (A0, A1, and A2) used for binary input. These inputs determine which of the eight outputs will be active.
5. Eight Output Lines: MC74ACT138DR2 is equipped with eight output pins (Y0-Y7). Depending on the input signals, only one of these output lines will be active at a time.
6. Active-LOW Enable Inputs: This IC chip also features two active-low enable inputs (G1 and G2A/G2B). These inputs enable or disable the IC operation based on their logic levels
