Abstract
Binary coded signals present on N input lines are decoded by means of N differential current switches. Each current switch is connected to a different one of the input lines and produces a group of 2.sup.(N-1) outputs in-phase with its input and a group of 2.sup.(N-1) outputs out-of-phase with its input. 2.sup.N conductors interconnect the outputs of the N switches to produce 2.sup.N decoded outputs, each of which represents a unique combination of the binary signals on the N input lines.
