74LS242

Description:

The 74LS242 is a quad 2-line to 1-line data selector/multiplexer IC designed for digital logic applications. It features four independent selector/multiplexer circuits, each capable of selecting one of two data inputs (A and B) based on the control inputs (S0 and S1). The selected data is then outputted on a single output line (Y). This IC enables efficient data routing and selection in digital circuits, making it suitable for applications where multiple data sources need to be selectively processed or routed.
