Fairchild/ON Semiconductor MM74HCT138N

MM74HCT138N Overview
This particular component is manufactured by the well-known brand Fairchild/ON Semiconductor. It is a type of integrated circuit known as a Logic - Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders chip, which falls under the broader category of Logic - Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders. The chip is designed to be mounted using the Through Hole method and comes in a 16-DIP (0.300, 7.62mm) package. It is packaged in a tube for easy handling and storage. However, it should be noted that this particular part is no longer in production and is considered obsolete. The polarity of this chip is inverting, meaning that the output signal is the opposite of the input signal. It has a turn on delay time of 50 nanoseconds, which is the time it takes for the output to change after the input has been applied. This chip is part of the HCT family, which is a series of high-speed CMOS logic chips. Its main function is as a decoder, which means it takes a binary input and converts it into a specific output code. It has a total of 3 inputs, allowing for a range of input combinations. This chip is also compliant with RoHS regulations, meaning it is free from hazardous substances.
