3 Description

The SN74AC238-Q1 contains a three to eight

decoder with one standard output strobe (G2) and two

active low output strobes (G 1 and G 0). When the

outputs are gated by any of the strobe inputs, they are

all forced into the low state. When the outputs are not

disabled by the strobe inputs, only the selected output

is high while all others are low.
