COMBINATIONAL CIRCUITS
DECODERS AND MULTIPLEXERS
Decoder
The combinational circuit that change the binary information into 2 N output
lines is known as Decoders. The binary information is passed in the form of N
input lines. The output lines define the 2Nbit code for the binary information. In
simple words, the Decoder performs the reverse operation of the Encoder. At
a time, only one input line is activated for simplicity. The produced 2Nbit output
code is equivalent to the binary information

2. Logic Functions of 3x8 decoder circuit:
The logical expression of the term D0, D1, D2, D3, D4,
D5, D6, and D7 is as follows:
D0=A0'.A1'.A2'
D1=A0.A1'.A2'
D2=A0'.A1.A2'
D3=A0.A1.A2'
D4=A0'.A1'.A2
D5=A0.A1'.A2
D6=A0'.A1.A2
D7=A0.A1.A2
3. Operational Description of 3x8 decoder circuit:
The 3 to 8 line decoder is also known as Binary to Octal Decoder. In a 3 to 8 line
decoder, there is a total of eight outputs D0, D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, and Y7 and three
outputs X, Y, and Z Aa Mentioned above only one input line is activated for
simplicity. The produced 2Nbit output code is equivalent to the binary
information.
