To understand the IC working, let us design a simple circuit with few required basic electronic components as shown below. Operating temperature is from -40✬ to +125✬.Integrates 3-enable pins for simplifying cascading.This IC is particularly designed for high-speed.The features of the 74LS138 IC include the following. The IC 74LS138 is a 16-pin integrated circuit, and each pin of this IC is discussed below. And also the inputs of this IC is clamped with Schottky diodeswhich are the high performance to contain line ringing as well as system design simplify. This IC is mainly used in de-multiplexingapplications with the help of an enable pin like a data input pin. The implementation of 24 line decoder can be done without using outside inverters, as well as a 32-line decoder needs a single inverter This IC includes three enable pins (where two pins are active low and one is active high) decreases the necessity of outside gates.

These ICs can be used for minimizing the system decoding effects in memory systems with high performance. This IC is mainly used in applications like memory decoding with high performance otherwise data routing, etc. The setup of this IC is accessible with 3-inputs to 8-output setup. The main function of this IC is to decode otherwise demultiplex the applications. The IC 74LS138 is a 3 to 8 line decoder integrated circuit from the 74xx family of transistor-transistor-logic-gates.
