EXPERIMENT 2
DECODER

OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the operation of a decoder.

PROCEDURE:

1. Construct the decoder circuit shown in figure 8-63. The data switches
SW1-SW4 will provide the input. LED indicator L4 is the output. Be
sure to connect +5 volts and ground to pin 14 and pin 7 of the IC’s.

2. Apply the 16 states 0000 through 1111 to the circuit and observe the
output. Record the binary input state where L4 lights. _____________.
Assume SW4 is the LSB. The decimal equivalent is :
_________________.

3. Construct the circuit shown in figure 8-64. Take your time in

connecting this circuit to avoid wiring errors. The circuit input will
come from SW3 and SW4 (LSB). You will observe the outputs on
LED indicators L1 through L4. What type of circuit is this?
______________________________________________.

4. With SW3 and SW4 , apply the inputs indicated in Table I. Record the
corresponding output states of L1, L2, L3, and L4 for each of input
states.

Which of the following conditions did you observe for each set of
inputs?
a. All outputs low. d. Two outputs high.
b. All outputs high. e. Two outputs low.
c. One output low. f. One output high.
5. Remove the connections between the outputs of inverters 1, 2, 3, and 4
L1, L2, L3, and L4 to the outputs of the 74LS00 IC gates, pins 3, 6, 8,
and 11 respectively.

6. Repeat step 4. Apply the inputs in Table I and record the output states
in the appropriate places.
Which of the following output conditions did you observe for each set
of inputs?

a. All outputs low.

b. All outputs high.
c. One output high.
d. One output low.
e. Two outputs low.

7. Compare your results from Step 4 and 6 by observing the data in Table
1. Then remove the circuit from the breadbording socket.

8. Mount a type 74LS42IC on the breadboarding socket. Connect pin 16

to +5 volts and pin 8 to ground. Connect the inputs to switches SW1-
SW4. Refer to figure 8-65 and 8-66 for IC pin connections. You will
monitor the outputs, one at a time with LED indicator L4.

9. Apply the inputs given in Table II,. The LSB (A) is SW4. Observe the
10 outputs, one at a time, with L4 by connecting it sequentially to pins
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11. Record your outputs in Table II.

a. The 74LS42 is a decimal decoder. What does this mean in terms of

the output you observed.
b. The 74LS 42 does not recognize the six states 1010 through 1111.

a. True
b. False
