SN74HC42N

XBLW · Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders · DIP-16

SN74HC42N from XBLW, in a DIP-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 ~{0Y} output Active-low decoded output 0 (multiplexer output), LOW only for BCD input code 0000 and HIGH for all codes above nine.
2 ~{1Y} output Active-low decoded output 1 (multiplexer output), LOW only for BCD input code 0001.
3 ~{2Y} output Active-low decoded output 2 (multiplexer output), LOW only for BCD input code 0010.
4 ~{3Y} output Active-low decoded output 3 (multiplexer output), LOW only for BCD input code 0011.
5 ~{4Y} output Active-low decoded output 4 (multiplexer output), LOW only for BCD input code 0100.
6 ~{5Y} output Active-low decoded output 5 (multiplexer output), LOW only for BCD input code 0101.
7 ~{6Y} output Active-low decoded output 6 (multiplexer output), LOW only for BCD input code 0110.
8 GND power_in Ground (0V), the reference for all voltages in the absolute maximum ratings.
9 ~{7Y} output Active-low decoded output 7 (multiplexer output), LOW only for BCD input code 0111.
10 ~{8Y} output Active-low decoded output 8 (multiplexer output), LOW only for BCD input code 1000.
11 ~{9Y} output Active-low decoded output 9 (multiplexer output), LOW only for BCD input code 1001.
12 3A input Data input 3A, the most significant BCD input, which can act as an inhibit input in 1-of-8 decoding or as data input in 8-output demultiplexing, with clamp diodes.
13 2A input BCD data input 2A, with clamp diodes permitting current-limiting resistors for voltages above VCC.
14 1A input BCD data input 1A, with clamp diodes permitting current-limiting resistors for voltages above VCC.
15 0A input BCD data input 0A, the least significant input, with clamp diodes permitting current-limiting resistors for voltages above VCC.
16 VCC power_in Supply voltage, absolute maximum -0.5V to +7.0V.
