The 74LS series of integrated circuits (ICs) was one of the most popular logic families of transistor-transistor logic (TTL) logic chips. 74LS series is a bipolar, low-power Schottky IC.The 74LS248 is a BCD-to-Seven-Segment Decoder/Drivers. The 74LS248 composes 6 and 9 with the tails and active for low outputs for direct drive of indicators.
74LS248 Features
- Internal Pull-Ups Eliminate Need for External Resistors
- Lamp-Test Provision
- Leading /Trailing Zero Suppression

Applications
- Decoders are used to input data to a specified output line as is done in addressing core memory where input data is to be stored in a specified memory location.
- It is used in code conversions.
- In high-performance memory systems, this decoder can be used to minimize the effects of system decoding.
