Use a BCD to Decimal, 4 line to 10 line decoder with open collector outputs like the 7442? and connect the output wires for 1, 3, 5 and 9 back to the pins for 0 1 2 and 3 on the inputs along with normally open pushbuttons from each input pin to +Vcc. --- James Newton mailto:jamesnewton@geocities.com 1-619-652-0593 -----Original Message----- From: pic microcontroller discussion list [mailto:PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU]On Behalf Of Chris Eddy Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2000 16:21 To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: [EE]: circuit for 1 of 4 select/latch function..? I am trying to sketch a circuit that has four select push buttons for inputs, and four seperate digital outputs. I want to push a button and latch that output, and unlatch any other selected output which was previously selected. I have invested a few hours and all I have to show is some burnt brain cells. I am drawing a big blank. The solution can be logic gates, comparators, transistors, but yikes, no processor. Customer wants no EMI analog answer. Any of you folks remember this stuff?
