Designing of 3 Line to 8 Line Decoder and Demultiplexer

Overview:

The conversion of binary to decimal can be done using a device namely a decoder. This device
is one kind of combinational logic circuit that uses the n-input lines to generate 2n output lines.
Here, the output of this device might be below 2n lines. There are different kinds of binary
decoders which include multiple inputs as well as multiple outputs. Some kinds of decoders
include one or more enable inputs along with the data inputs. Whenever the enable input is
disabled then all the outputs will be inactivated. Based on its function, a binary decoder changes
the data from n-input signals to 2n output signals. In some kinds of decoders, they have below
2n output lines. So in that situation, a minimum of one output prototype may be repeated for
various input values. There are two kinds of higher-order decoders like 3 Line to 8 Line Decoder
& 4 Line to 16 Line Decoder. This article discusses an overview of 3 Line to 8 Line Decoder.

Introduction:

A decoder is a combinational logic circuit that is used to change the code into a set of signals. It
is the reverse process of an encoder. A decoder circuit takes multiple inputs and gives multiple
outputs. A decoder circuit takes binary data of ‘n’ inputs into ‘2^n’ unique output. In addition to
input pins, the decoder has a enable pin. This enables the pin when negated, to make the circuit
inactive. in this article, we discuss 3 to 8 line Decoder and demultiplexer.
This decoder circuit gives 8 logic outputs for 3 inputs and has a enable pin. The circuit is
designed with AND and NAND logic gates. It takes 3 binary inputs and activates one of the
eight outputs. 3 to 8 line decoder circuit is also called a binary to an octal decoder.

The decoder circuit works only when the Enable pin (E) is high. S0, S1 and S2 are three
different inputs and D0, D1, D2, D3. D4. D5. D6. D7 are the eight outputs. The logic diagram
of the 3 to 8 line decoder is shown below.

Application of Decoder
 The Decoders were used in analog to digital conversion in analog decoders.
 Used in electronic circuits to convert instructions into CPU control signals.
 They mainly used in logical circuits, data transfer.
