UPD74HC238GS-T2

Detailed Description:

The UPD74HC238GS-T2 is a high-speed CMOS 3-to-8 line decoder/demultiplexer integrated circuit (IC) developed by NEC Corporation. It is part of the 74HC series, known for combining the speed of LS TTL (Low-Power Schottky Transistor-Transistor Logic) with the low power consumption of CMOS technology. This IC is specifically designed to accept three binary weighted address inputs (A0, A1, and A2) and, based on their combination, activate one of the eight mutually exclusive outputs. The device features a high noise immunity characteristic of CMOS technology and is capable of driving loads with different electrical characteristics, making it versatile for a wide range of applications including computer systems, robot systems, and other logic control systems. Its package type is GS, which refers to its surface-mount package form, making it suitable for compact and high-density PCB designs. The T2 suffix indicates its environmental and quality classification. Overall, the UPD74HC238GS-T2 is an essential component for systems requiring reliable and efficient decoding or demultiplexing of digital signals.
