Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
3-to-8 line decoder/demultiplexer in 16-pin TSSOP package. Converts three binary address inputs into eight mutually exclusive outputs. Ideal for address decoding, output selection, and general logic applications in digital systems. Common in microcontroller interfacing and memory chip selection circuits.
Package: TSSOP-16 (4.4×5mm) · 16 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
The 0.65mm pitch makes hand soldering difficult and error-prone; a breakout board lets you solder standard headers instead. This package hosts precision analog and mixed-signal ICs like DACs and ADCs that benefit from clean PCB layouts and decoupling placement. Prototyping becomes faster with breadboard-compatible pin headers, eliminating the need for a custom carrier PCB.
