THEORY: A decoder is a combination circuit that connects the binary information from ‘n’ input lines to a
maximum of 2. Unique output lines. Decoder is also called a min-term generator/max-term generator. A min-
term generator is constructed using AND and NOT gates. The appropriate output is indicated by logic 1 (positive
logic). Max-term generator is constructed using NAND gates. The appropriate output is indicated by logic 0
(Negative logic). The IC 74139 accepts two binary inputs and when enable provides 4 individual active low
outputs. The device has 2 enable inputs (Two active low).

PROCEDURE:

• Make the connections as per

the circuit diagram.
• Change the values of G1, G2A, G2B, A, B, and C, using switches.
• Observe status of Y0, to Y7 on LED’s.
• Verify the truth table.

DISCUSSION: Verified the Operation of 2 to 4 Decoder.
