The SN74LS136DR is a popular integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the TTL (transistor-transistor logic) family. Developed by Texas Instruments, it is a 3-to-8 line decoder/demultiplexer with active-low outputs. This IC offers various features that make it versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications. Below is a concise overview of the SN74LS136DR, along with its key features:
Overview:
The SN74LS136DR is designed to take three binary input signals and generate eight outputs based on the input combination. It can be used as a decoder to enable specific outputs based on the input signal or as a demultiplexer to distribute data from one input to any of the eight outputs. The IC operates on a single 5V power supply and features Schottky-clamped inputs, ensuring high-speed and reliable operation.
Key features:
1. 3-to-8 line decoding: The SN74LS136DR can decode three binary inputs, A0, A1, and A2, into eight mutually exclusive outputs (Y0 to Y7).
2. Active-low outputs: The outputs are active-low, meaning that they are inverted versions of the corresponding active-high outputs.
3. Enable input: The IC includes an active-low enable input (G2A) which, when high, forces all outputs to a high-impedance state regardless of the input conditions
