Working Principles

The CD74HC42E operates based on the principle of decoding a binary input to produce a corresponding decimal output. The four binary input bits (A0-A3) are decoded internally, and the selected output line (Y0-Y9) is activated based on the input combination. This allows for easy conversion between binary and decimal representations.
