Applications
The CD74HC237M is widely used in memory address decoding applications where a microcontroller or processor needs to select one of eight memory banks or peripheral devices. It is also employed in data demultiplexing circuits, bus expansion systems, and LED matrix driving where a single address bus must activate one of multiple output lines. The built-in address latches make it particularly suitable for multiplexed address/data bus architectures in embedded systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CD74HC237M and what does it do?
The CD74HC237M is a high-speed CMOS 3-to-8 line decoder/demultiplexer with integrated address latches. It accepts a 3-bit binary address input and activates one of eight active-high outputs, with a maximum load capacitance of 50 pF and output current of 5.2 mA. It is manufactured by Texas Instruments in a 16-pin SOIC package.
What are the key electrical parameters of the CD74HC237M?
The CD74HC237M operates in the HC/UH CMOS logic family with a load capacitance (CL) of 50 pF, maximum output low current (IOL) of 5.2 mA, and supports 8-bit output decoding from 3 address lines. It carries the JESD-609 code e4 for moisture sensitivity and is housed in a 16-pin R-PDSO-G16 Small Outline package.
What are typical applications for the CD74HC237M?
Typical applications include memory chip-select decoding, peripheral device selection in microprocessor systems, LED matrix driving, and data demultiplexing. The on-chip address latches make it ideal for multiplexed bus architectures where address signals must be latched and held stable while data is transferred.
What package does the CD74HC237M come in and are there alternatives?
The CD74HC237M is available in a 16-pin Small Outline Package (SOIC, R-PDSO-G16). Compatible alternatives in the same HC logic family include the CD74HC138 (3-to-8 decoder without latches) and the SN74HC237 from Texas Instruments, which shares identical pinout and electrical characteristics.
