Features: Demultiplexing capability The 74LS138 3-to-8 Line Decoder / Demultiplexer is fabricated on a 2µm 40V Bipolar process. The device decodes 1-of-8 lines, set by x3 binary select inputs & three enable inputs. Working of 74138 decoder IC - Tutorials Point Feb 28, 2019Use of 74138 to generate chip select logic: We use the logic of selection to generate signals for chip selection tending to eight chips in a microcomputer system. Let us suppose that there are eight 1K × 8 sized chips of EPROM, where we want the starting of address to be 2000H, 2400H, 2800H, , 3C00H. In the figure below 74138 gets selected[PDF] SN54/74LS138 1-OF-8 DECODER/ DEMULTIPLEXER The LSTTL/MSI SN54/74LS138 is a high speed 1-of-8 Decoder/ Demultiplexer.
