The CD74ACT138M96 is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the ACT (Advanced CMOS Technology) family. It is a 3-to-8 line decoder/demultiplexer with active low outputs, meaning it decodes three binary inputs into eight output lines. Here are the key features and characteristics of this IC component:
1. Decoder/Demultiplexer Functionality: The CD74ACT138M96 acts as a decoder and demultiplexer, which means it takes three binary inputs (A0, A1, and A2) and selects one of the eight output lines based on the input combination. It effectively converts the three-bit binary input into a single active low output line.
2. Active Low Outputs: The outputs (Y0 to Y7) of the CD74ACT138M96 are active low, meaning they are complemented versions of the decoded data. When a particular output line is selected, it becomes logic low (or 0), while all other output lines remain high (or 1).
3. CMOS Technology: The CD74ACT138M96 utilizes Advanced CMOS Technology, which offers advantages such as low power consumption, high noise immunity, and compatibility with a wide range of supply voltage levels.
4. Wide Operating Voltage Range: This IC component has a wide operating voltage range of 2.0V to 6.0V
