Is there a chip that does this?

AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking a chip from the 4000 or 74XX series that can AND a binary string with a control bit to generate a new binary string. They note that multiplexers and demultiplexers do not meet their requirements. A suggestion is made to use a 7408 chip, which can be configured to wire multiple input pins together to serve as the control bit. The discussion centers on finding a suitable integrated circuit solution rather than building a circuit from scratch. The inquiry highlights the need for efficient binary operations in digital circuit design.

Is there a chip (be it 4000 series or 74XX series) that performs the following function? It basically takes in a binary string, and ANDs each part of the string with a certain control bit to produce a new binary string.

It seems that neither muxes nor demuxes serves my purpose. So I'd appreciate if anyone could suggest a chip that does this so I don't have to construct it.

Is the string always going to be 4 bits?

If so you could use a 7408 and wire together 1 set of the input pins and then connect that to the control bit?

ie. from that diagram you could wire together pins 1, 4, 12 and 9 to be your control bit? or a different rearrangement if it was easier to solder together.
 
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
