74HC148 8-to-3 Line Priority Encoder IC – DIP-16 Package

The 74HC148 is an 8-to-3 line priority encoder IC that encodes eight input lines into a 3-bit binary code. It features priority encoding, meaning that when multiple inputs are active simultaneously, the highest-priority input (with the lowest number) takes precedence. This IC also includes enable inputs and cascading capability, making it ideal for expanding encoder applications. It is widely used in digital systems for interrupt handling, data compression, and signal encoding.

Features of 74HC148 Priority Encoder IC:

1. Encodes 8 input lines into 3-bit binary output
2. Priority encoding: highest-order input has priority
3. Active LOW inputs and outputs
4. Cascading capability for priority encoding more than 8 inputs
5. Includes enable input and group signal outputs (GS, EO)
6. TTL-compatible inputs and outputs
7. Available in DIP-16 through-hole package
