DLD Lab #07 Decoder

The document provides instructions for a lab experiment to implement and verify a BCD-to-decimal decoder using a 74LS42 IC. The objectives are to use the 74LS42 decoder IC to decode binary coded decimal (BCD) input signals and activate the corresponding output. Background information is given on decoder logic and the pin configuration of the 74LS42 IC. The lab activity involves connecting BCD inputs to switches, outputs to LEDs, and observing which LED lights up for each BCD number input.

Lab Learning Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this experiment, the student will be able:


 To implement and verify Decoder operation using 74LS42 IC

Lab Hardware and Software Required:

1. 74LS42 IC (BCD-to-Decimal Decoder)


2. Module KL-33001/ Elvis II
3. Breadboard
4. Connecting Wires

Background Theory:

Decoder:

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, determines which number is present there, and activates 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 1 (a & b) shows the logic symbol and logic diagram for 2x 4
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 one corresponding to decimal equivalent of the binary
input code.

74LS42 Decoder IC:

The TTL 74LS42 accepts four lines of input data and it has ten active-low outputs. The inputs
must be supplied by a coder 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 inputs remain high. Fig 2 shows the pin-out of 74LS42
IC.
