I use the 74HC4514 (4-to-16 line decoder/demultiplexer with input latches) in my design,
and put the logic diagram in LTSpice to simulate it.
To my surprise, it does the opposite as in the truth table on page 4 (see attached datasheet).
So A0-A3 = L L L L results in Q15 High, while A0-A3 = H H H H results in Q0 High.
On page 5 in the logic diagram, the latches have a bubble (circle) on the Sd and Rd inputs,
what does this bubble mean (why an OR port and bubble on the SR-inputs instead of a NOR port?)?
When using the OR ports (in front of latches) without inverted SR-inputs, the behaviour is as indicated in the truth table on page 4.

Thank in advance for your reply,
Kind regards,

Solved! Go to Solution.
You are right, the logic diagram on page 5 (fig. 5) is not correct. However the function table on page 4 is correct and real device works exactly as per that table. The problem in fig 5 is polarity of the RS latches, Q and /Q should be reversed.

Dear Bulat Karymov,
Thanks for your answer! Nice to discover a little mistake in a datasheet from 1993 :-).
I'll update my simulation schematic accordingly.
Kind regards,
Robert
