You can see it as a Binary to Decimal converter; it takes a binary input value from 0 to 7 and activates the corresponding output line. | |||
For example, an input of 000 will turn output 1 {{On}}, while all other outputs remain {{Off}}. An input of 101 (binary 5) will turn output 6 {{On}}, since outputs are numbered starting from 1 rather than 0. (for a complete conversion breakdown see the Truth Table) | |||

When the Disable pin is
converts a 3 bit input into a 1-hot encoding, where exactly one output pin is
.
When the Disable pin is
, all outputs are
. Unlike some tri-state components like the switch the outputs are always either
or
, never
.
You can see it as a Binary to Decimal converter; it takes a binary input value from 0 to 7 and activates the corresponding output line.
For example, an input of 000 will turn output 1
, while all other outputs remain
. An input of 101 (binary 5) will turn output 6
, since outputs are numbered starting from 1 rather than 0. (for a complete conversion breakdown see the Truth Table)
