74LS181 4-Bit Arithmetic Logic Unit IC/Function generator | Datasheet

The 74LS181 IC is an arithmetic logic unit / function generator IC that has a complexity of 75 congruent gates on a monolithic IC chip. These circuits perform 16 binary arithmetic operations on two 4-bit words. These operations are selected by the four function-select lines (S0, S1, S2, S3) and include addition, subtraction, decrement, and straight transfer. The 74LS181 IC also constitutes a wide array of features such as thermal overload protection & ESD protection. The IC 74LS181 is smaller in size and it has a much faster speed which makes it reliable in every kind of device. The design concentrates on the chip to be used in high-performance applications such as memory-decoding.

What is an ALU/Function Generator?

The arithmetic logic unit (ALU) is a combinational digital circuit that performs arithmetic and bitwise operations on integer binary numbers. It performs a variety of arithmetic & logical operations on its inputs (better known as operands) such as simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and logic operations, such as OR and AND. The control unit (CU) fetches the instructions & operative data from the memory and uses operations of the ALU to carry out those instructions using that data.
