Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
BCD-to-decimal decoder/demultiplexer that converts 4-bit binary input to 10 individual active-low outputs. Operates at 2-6V with CMOS logic levels and typical propagation delay under 20ns. Ideal for address decoding, display drivers, and control signal distribution in digital circuits.
Package: SOIC-16 (3.9×9.9mm) · 16 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
The 1.27mm pin pitch on this 16-pin package makes hand-soldering impractical and breadboard mounting impossible. A breakout board brings the pins to standard 2.54mm spacing, enabling quick prototyping of RS-232/RS-485 transceivers, ADCs, and line drivers without requiring surface-mount soldering skills or PCB fabrication.
