74LS42N DIP BCD To Decimal Decoder

Product Description: 74LS42N DIP BCD to Decimal Decoder

The 74LS42N is a BCD to Decimal Decoder IC in a DIP-16 package, designed for converting Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) inputs into their corresponding decimal outputs. This IC features a 4-bit BCD input, which is decoded into a 10-output decimal signal. The 74LS42N is ideal for applications in digital systems that require efficient decoding of BCD values into decimal form for display purposes or further digital processing. Its low power consumption and high-speed operation make it a valuable component for digital circuits in both consumer and industrial applications.

Features:

• BCD to Decimal Conversion: Converts a 4-bit Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) input into a 10-output decimal signal, providing a simple solution for BCD to decimal decoding.
• 10 Output Lines: The IC provides 10 active low output lines corresponding to the decimal values 0 through 9, ensuring correct output for each BCD input combination.
• Standard DIP Package: Housed in a DIP-16 form factor, making it easy to integrate into breadboards, circuit boards, and various digital systems.
• Low Power Consumption: Designed to operate with low power, making it suitable for energy-efficient applications and battery-powered devices.
