Hello everyone, I was wondering if someone could send me a website or a picture that shows what a 4 to 16 line decoder looks like, thanks.
hmmm... no not really, that play-hookey site that i cited before has some stuff, but it's not that much in depth. So, i just come across random sites , read my book (Wakerly) and bother my TA's during open lab hours.mr_coffee said:have you found any?
mr_coffee said:hah i have no idea either, god i wish there was a site that explained digital design, like this is the only course i can't find on the internet that has like tutorials and explanations, have you found any?
K-maps aren't bad when you get enough practice with them.Kenneth Mann said:Actually, I have thought about putting a tutorial on K-Mapping on this forum, but I'm not sure that anyone would be interested. They are a lot more powerful than most people think. Also there is a lot of simple logic behind them.

What would be esp. helpful is to show not only "how" but "why" it works. For instance, in my book Gray code is described in a chapter (which we did not cover) totally away from where the K-maps are. So, when it came to numbering of cells, i could not figure out the system ... until i happened to flip through the book out of boredom...and saw the Gray code and all that explanation.
But yeah... a thorough description would be a good idea. And also "where"/"when" they are useful besides when they explicitly say on the test.
A 4 to 16 line decoder is a digital logic circuit that takes a 4-bit input and produces a 16-bit output. It is used to decode binary inputs into a specific output based on the input combination.
A 4 to 16 line decoder works by using AND gates to compare the input bits to a specific combination and produce a high output for that combination. The output of each AND gate is then connected to an OR gate, which combines all the outputs to produce the final 16-bit output.
The inputs of a 4 to 16 line decoder are 4 binary bits, labeled A, B, C, and D. The outputs are 16 binary bits, labeled Y0 to Y15.
A 4 to 16 line decoder is commonly used in digital systems for memory addressing, data routing, and input/output selection. It is also used in microprocessors and other digital devices for decoding instructions and controlling various functions.
Yes, a visual representation of a 4 to 16 line decoder can be found online or in textbooks. It typically consists of a rectangular shape with inputs labeled A, B, C, and D on one side and outputs labeled Y0 to Y15 on the other side. The internal circuitry is represented by a series of AND and OR gates connecting the inputs to the outputs.
