Operation
• The operation of logic circuit of the 3 to 8 decoder is described as follows −
• When enable input (E) is inactive, i.e set to 0, none of the AND gates will function.
• When enable input (E) is made active by setting it to 1, then the circuit works as
described below.
• When A = 0, B = 0, and C = 0, the AND gate 1 becomes active and produces output
Y0.
• When A = 0, B = 0, and C = 1, the AND gate 2 becomes active and produces output
Y1.
• When A = 0, B = 1, and C = 0, the AND gate 3 becomes active and produces output
Y2.
• When A = 0, B = 1, and C = 1, the AND gate 4 becomes active and produces output
Y3.
• When A = 1, B = 0, and C = 0, the AND gate 5 becomes active and produces output
Y4.
• When A = 1, B = 0, and C = 1, the AND gate 6 becomes active and produces output
Y5.
• When A = 1, B = 1, and C = 0, the AND gate 7 becomes active and produces output
Y6.
• When A = 1, B = 1, and C = 1, the AND gate 8 becomes active and produces output
Y7.
Implementation Steps
• 1. Simulate the circuit using Proteus software.
• 2. Verify outputs for all input combinations
using the truth table.
• 3. Compare theoretical and simulated results.
Applications
• - Memory Address Decoding: Selecting specific
memory blocks.
• - Display Control: Driving 7-segment displays.
• - Data Demultiplexing: Routing data based on
binary address.
Task Insights
• - Observations:
• * The decoder functions only when enabled.
• * Each input combination activates a single
output.
• - Key Learning:
• * Decoders are crucial for data selection and
binary-to-output mapping.
Quiz Questions
