DECODERS
Objective:
To understand the basic operation of decoders.
Equipment: Components:
1. One- Single Polarity Variable DC Power 1. One- 3-to-8 Line Decoder, 74LS138
Supply 2. One- 4-to-16 Line Decoder, 74LS154
2. Logic Probe 3. LEDs
4. Switches
5. One- Bread Board
Note: Do consult the data sheets before connecting you ICs
Theory:
DECODERS:
The basic function of a decoder is to detect the presence of a specified combination of bits (code) on its
inputs and to indicate the presence of that code by a specified output level. Now we know that a two bit
can give us 4 codes. So we can design a 2 input 4-output decoder. In which every output represents the
presence of a particular combination of inputs.
What we originally do is for every combination we use an AND gate so that the output of the AND gate
is only high for the one combination it is designed for.

4-Bit Decoder:
A good example of the binary to decimal decoders could be there use as I/O selectors in microcontroller
and microprocessor circuitries.
