Hello everyone
im studying electro engineer almost finished first year, and i ran into a problem i dont know how to solve..
This is taken from a larger print, so the actual use is not to power a LED, but it shows the problem
Components:
3-8 decoder non-inverting (74HC238N)
Relay (OMRON G5V-2)
A High signal will trigger a 3-8 decoder to set Y1 to High
Y1 is connected to a relay
I tested the decoder alone and i works as intended
I tested the relay alone and a high signal will trigger it
But together they do not work :S
When its all connected together and i messure the voltage over the relay, its only ~1,5V
But when i disconnect the relay, and messure the voltage on Y1, its 5V
My guess is maybe a voltage division will occur because the internal resistance in the 3-8decoder is larger then the internal resistance in the relay, but if this is the problem, how do i solve this?
Please help if you have any comments or suggestions
Here is the simulation made in multisim
**broken link removed**
(in the picture i use 74HC138N, because my simulation program does not have the 238, but the only difference is the inverting outputs)
