Experiment No:

Experiment Name:
Design and implementation of a 2:4 decoder with active high and active low outputs
using logic gates
Objectives:
To design, construct, and verify the operation of a 2-to-4 line decoder with both active
high and active low outputs using basic logic gates.
Equipment:
The following components and equipment are required for this experiment:

One IC 7408 (Quad 2-input AND gates)


One IC 7400 (Quad 2-input NAND gates)
Four LEDs
Connecting wires as needed
Description:
A 2-to-4 decoder is a combinational logic circuit that takes two binary inputs and
activates one of the four outputs based on the input combination. The two types of
decoders implemented in this experiment are:
• Active High Decoder : In this type, only one output is HIGH (logic 1) at a time,
corresponding to the binary value of the inputs.
• Active Low Decoder : In this configuration, only one output is LOW (logic 0),
while the rest remain HIGH.
Decoders are widely used in digital systems such as memory addressing,
demultiplexing data, and selecting peripheral devices.
