4 bit decoder question?



Greetings Gents,

Simple question. I would like to selectively turn ON / OFF any one of
16 SSR's using a 4 bit address, obviously I'd use another bit to
select the state I would like the previously addressed device to have.

I've been looking at a few decoder / demultiplexers like the 74HCT154.
I was excited for a moment, but then realized that I'd have to come up
with a latching scheme for the outputs.

Do they make a DIP chip that already includes some type of state
addressable output with out altering the un-addressed states? If not
any simple ideas on the best way to approach this hardware problem?
(I'm sure I'm not the first fool to want to do something like this :)

OH yea, if your curious, I just want to "Geek Out" with Christmas
lights this year :)
