74LS46 Decoder
Decoders are mostly used in digital circuits to decode data into a form that is easier to be used by other components in a circuit. When looking at the schematic of a decoder, you will realize that it is not a very complicated circuit, but that it is quite a big circuit. By using this decoder instead of building the circuit needed to do the complete decoding of the circuit, you will reduce the size of your circuit quite a lot and also increase the speed at which the circuit will operate.
