74147 IC High Speed CMOS Logic 10 to 4 Line Priority Encoder DIP-16
The 74147 IC High-Speed CMOS Logic 10 to 4 Line Priority Encoder (DIP-16) is a digital device designed to convert ten active low input signals into a 4-bit binary coded decimal (BCD) output. It assigns priority to the highest-order active input, ensuring reliable encoding even when multiple inputs are active simultaneously. This IC is widely used in digital systems for key encoding, data compression, and input device interfacing. With its high-speed operation, low power consumption, and TTL/CMOS compatibility, the 74147 provides an efficient solution for priority encoding applications in logic circuits and microprocessor-based systems.
