74155 IC Dual 2-to-4 Line Decoders/Demultiplexer DIP-16
The 74155 IC Dual 2-to-4 Line Decoders/Demultiplexes DIP-16, designed for digital logic and data routing applications. It contains two independent 2-to-4 decoders that can also function as demultiplexes, providing flexibility in digital circuit design. Each decoder accepts two binary select inputs and provides four mutually exclusive active-low outputs. Built with TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) technology, the 74155 offers fast switching, high noise immunity, and reliable performance. It is widely used in address decoding, data distribution, memory selection, and digital control systems in both educational and industrial applications.
