74HC147 Priority Encoder IC 16-Pin

The 74HC147 Priority Encoder IC is a highly versatile and efficient 10-to-4 priority encoder that plays a crucial role in digital electronics, particularly in applications requiring the management of multiple input signals. Packaged in a 16-pin Dual In-Line Package (DIP), this IC encodes ten input lines into a 4-bit binary output, ensuring that only the highest-priority active input is reflected in the output. Designed with high-speed CMOS technology, the 74HC147 offers exceptional performance, including fast switching capabilities and low power consumption, making it ideal for battery-operated devices and other energy-sensitive applications. One of the standout features of the 74HC147 is its ability to handle priority inputs effectively; it prioritizes higher-numbered active inputs, which is critical in scenarios like keyboard encoders or interrupt systems where multiple signals may compete for attention. It operates within a wide voltage range, from 2V to 6V, allowing compatibility with various digital systems, including TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) and CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) families. The IC boasts high noise immunity, which enhances its reliability in environments susceptible to electrical interference.
