3 Description

The SN74ACT238 is a three to eight decoder with one

standard output strobe (G2) and two active low output

strobes (G 1 and G 0). When the channel strobe inputs

are all active, only the selected output is high while all

others are low. When any strobe input is inactive, the

outputs are all forced into the low state.
