 Abstract
In this project we designed
esigned a 4 bit binary to decimal decoder. A binary to decimal decoder
(BDD) is a device which converts the binary (0(0’s and 1’s)) to its corresponding decimal values.
values

The logic diagram of a simple 4-bit

bit BDD is as shown below:

Aim:- To design a 4-bit
bit binary to decimal decoder using the basic logic gates.

Apparatus Required:-
1. 3 Integrated Circuit (IC) – 7400 (NAND)
2. 5 Integrated Circuit (IC) – 7404 (NOT)
3. 2 Integrated Circuit (IC) – 7432 (OR)
4. 10 Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
5. 5V DC Supply
6. Bread boards
7. Connecting Wires

Details of Integrated Circuits:

Circuits:-
• IC – 7400:
It is a 14 pin integrated circuit with four 22-input NAND gates. Pin 14 is at high potential
(Vcc) and pin 7 is grounded.

• IC – 7404:
It is a 14 pin integrated circuit with six NOT gates. Here also pin 14 is Vcc and pin 7 is
grounded. Pins 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13 are inputs and pins 2, 4, 6, 12, 10, 8 are corresponding
outputs.

• IC – 7432:
It is a 14 pin integrated circuit with four 22-input OR gates.

Precautions:-
• All the circuit elements (ICs, board, LEDs etc.) should be checked using CRO component
tester and IC tester before using them.
• Switch off the DC supply when not in use to avoid unnecessary wastage of energy.
• Usage of un-insulated wires may lead to short circuiting.
