A decoder (100; 200) comprising: a set of input leads for receiving input signals (A 0 to A 2 ; SEL 0 to SEL 7 ); a set of intermediate leads ; a resonant circuit (104; 140; 150; 170; 180) for generating a resonating signal (RSR); a resonant input signal lead configured to receive the resonating signal (RSR) from the resonant circuit (104; 140; 150; 170; 180); a set of pairs of switches (120; 220), a first switch of each pair of switches being associated with a first one of said intermediate leads and one of said input leads, and the second switch of each pair of switches being associated with a second one of said intermediate leads and the same input lead, each pair of switches coupling the resonating input signal lead to either said first one of said intermediate leads to receive said resonating signal (RSR) or said second one of said intermediate leads to receive said resonating signal (RSR) in response to the input signal received by the input lead associated with said pair of switches; a set of pointer circuits (118; 184; 236) coupled to said intermediate leads for generating a set of decoded output signals corresponding to the signals on the input leads, the intermediate leads that are not coupled to receive the resonating signal being held at a first binary voltage; wherein said decoder is coupled to receive a strobe signal (STRB, STRBn), said pointer circuits (118; 184; 236) performing a logic function on the signals on said intermediate leads when said strobe signal is asserted, said strobe signal being asserted when the resonating signal is at a second binary voltage opposite said first binary voltage. a set of input leads for receiving input signals (A 0 to A 2 ; SEL 0 to SEL 7 ); a set of intermediate leads ; a resonant circuit (104; 140; 150; 170; 180) for generating a resonating signal (RSR); a resonant input signal lead configured to receive the resonating signal (RSR) from the resonant circuit (104; 140; 150; 170; 180); a set of pairs of switches (120; 220), a first switch of each pair of switches being associated with a first one of said intermediate leads and one of said input leads, and the second switch of each pair of switches being associated with a second one of said intermediate leads and the same input lead, each pair of switches coupling the resonating input signal lead to either said first one of said intermediate leads to receive said resonating signal (RSR) or said second one of said intermediate leads to receive said resonating signal (RSR) in response to the input signal received by the input lead a set of pointer circuits (118; 184; 236) coupled to said intermediate leads for generating a set of decoded output signals corresponding to the signals on the input leads, the intermediate leads that are not coupled to receive the resonating signal being held at a first binary voltage; wherein said decoder is coupled to receive a strobe signal (STRB, STRBn), said pointer circuits (118; 184; 236) performing a logic function on the signals on said intermediate leads when said strobe signal is asserted, said strobe signal being asserted when the resonating signal is at a second binary voltage opposite said first binary voltage. <EOS>
