INTRODUCTION
Decoder is a logic circuit that accepts a set of inputs that represents a binary number and
activates only the output that corresponds to that input number. In other words, a decoder
circuit looks at its inputs, determine which binary number is present there, and activates the
one output that corresponds to that number; all other outputs remain inactive. Before the
design of decoder, we must decide that whether we want an active-high level output or an
active-low level output to indicate the value selected. For an active-high indication the
required output is high and all other outputs are low; while in case of active-low, the
required output is low and all other outputs are high. Fig: 10 .1(a & b) shows the logic
symbol and logic diagram for 1 of 4 decoders. This circuit has two inputs and four outputs
so it is also called as 2 line to 4 line decoder. It uses all AND gates, so the outputs are
active-high. For a given input code, the only output that is active (high) is the one
corresponding to the decimal equivalent of the binary input code.

74LS42 BCD-TO- DECIMAL DECODER IC
The TTL74LS42 accepts four lines of input data and it has ten active-low outputs. The
inputs must be supplied by a code type BCD, which causes the activation of the output line
corresponding to the applied number. Each output goes low only when its corresponding

BCD input is applied, while all other outputs remain high. Fig: 10.2 shows the pin-out of
74LS42 IC.
