3 TO 8-LINE DECODER /DE-MULTIPLEXER

AIM:-Verification of functional table of 3 to 8-line Decoder /De-multiplexer.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:
Desktop Computer, Synapticad Tool for Verilog Programming

THEORY:

ENCODER:

An encoder is a device, circuit, transducer, software program, algorithm or person that

converts information from one format or code to another, for the purposes of
standardization, speed, secrecy, security, or saving space by shrinking size. An encoder has
M input and N output lines. Out of M input lines only one is activated at a time and
produces equivalent code on output N lines. If a device output code has fewer bits than the
input code has, the device is usually called an encoder. For example Octal-to-Binary
Encoder take 8 inputs and provides 3 outputs, thus doing the opposite of what the 3-to-8
decoder does. At any one time, only one input line has a value of 1. The figure below
shows the truth table of an Octal-to-binary encoder.

For an 8-to-3 binary encoder with inputs I0-I7 the logic expressions of the outputsY0-
Y2 are:

Y0 = I1 + I3 + I5 + I7Y1= I2 + I3 + I6 + I7Y2 = I4 + I5 + I6 +I7

DECODER:

A decoder is a device which does the reverse operation of an encoder, undoing the
encoding so that the original information can be retrieved. The same methodused to encode
is usually just reversed in order to decode. It is a combinational circuit thatconverts binary
information from n input lines to a maximum of 2n unique output lines. Indigital
electronics, a decoder can take the form of a multiple-input, multiple-output logiccircuit
that converts coded inputs into coded outputs, where the input and output codes are
different. e.g. n-to- 2n, binary-coded decimal decoders. Enable inputs must be on for the
decoder to function, otherwise its outputs assume a single "disabled" output code word. In
case of decoding all combinations of three bits eight (2 3=8) decoding gates are required.
This type of decoder is called 3-8 decoder because 3 inputs and 8 outputs. For any input
combination decoder outputs are 1.

DEMULTIPLEXER:

Demultiplexer means generally one into many. A demultiplexer isa logic

circuit with one input and many outputs. By applying control signals, we can
steerthe input signal to one of the output lines. The ckt has one input signal,
m control signal and n output signals. Where 2 n = m. It functions as an
electronic switch to route anincoming data signal to one of several outputs.

8:1 MULTIPLEXER
AIM: Design a 8 to 1 multiplexer by using the 4 variable function given by F(A, B, C, D) =
∑ (0,1,3,4,8,9,15).

APPARATUS REQUIRED:
Desktop Computer, Synapticad Tool for Verilog Programming

THEORY:

Design of 8 to 1 Multiplexer: It is a four-variable function and thus we require a multiplexer along with three
selection lines and 8 inputs. We select to apply variables B, C, and D for the selection lines. It is shown in
Table no.1. The first half of given minterms are associated with A' and the second half with A. Through
circling the minterms of the function and applying the rules for determine values for the multiplexer inputs,
the implementation represented in Table no.2.

The specified function can be implemented along with a 8-to-1 multiplexer as represented in fig.(a). 3 of the
variables as B, C and D are applied to the selection lines in order that is B is connected to s2, C to s1 and D to
s0. Hence the inputs of the multiplexer are 0, 1, A and A'. As BCD = 000,001 and 111 output F = 1 because
I0 and I8 = 1 for BCD(000), I1 = 1and I9 =1 correspondingly. Thus, minterms m0 = A' B' C' m1 = A' B' C,
m8 = A', B', C' and m9 = A' B' C generate a 1 output. While BCD = 010, 101 and 110, output F = 0, as I2, I5
and I6 respectively are equivalent to 0.

Ring counter:

It is made by connecting Q&Q‟ output of one JK FF to J&K input of next FF respectively.

FF is set by using preset facility and the remaining FF are reset input. When the clock arrives

UNIVERSAL SHIFT REGISTER

AIM: Verify the operation of 4-bit Universal Shift Register for different Modes of operation.

APPARATUS REQUIRED: Desktop Computer, Synapticad Tool for Verilog Programming

THEORY:

Shift registers are the sequential logic circuits that can store the data temporarily and provides
the data transfer towards its output device for every clock pulse. These are capable of
transferring/shifting the data either towards the right or left in serial and parallel modes. Based
on the mode of input/output operations, shift registers can be used as a serial-in-parallel-out shift
register, serial-in-serial-out shift register, parallel-in-parallel-out shift register, parallel-in-
parallel-out shift register. Based on shifting the data, there are universal shift registers and
bidirectional shift registers. Here is a complete description of the universal shift register.
What is a Universal Shift Register?
Definition: A register that can store the data and /shifts the data towards the right and left along
with the parallel load capability is known as a universal shift register. It can be used to perform
input/output operations in both serial and parallel modes. Unidirectional shift registers and
bidirectional shift registers are combined together to get the design of the universal shift register.
It is also known as a parallel-in-parallel-out shift register or shift register with the parallel load.
Universal shift registers are capable of performing 3 operations as listed below.
 Parallel load operation – stores the data in parallel as well as the data in parallel
 Shift left operation – stores the data and transfers the data shifting towards left in the
serial path
 Shift right operation – stores the data and transfers the data by shifting towards right in
the serial path.
Hence, Universal shift registers can perform input/output operations with both serial and parallel
loads.
 Serial input for shift-right control enables the data transfer towards the right and all the
serial input and output lines are connected to the shift-right mode. The input is given to
the AND gate-1 of the flip-flop -1 as shown in the figure via serial input pin.
 Serial input for shift-left enables the data transfer towards the left and all the serial input
and output lines are connected to shift-left mode.
 In parallel data transfer, all the parallel inputs and outputs lines are associated with the
parallel load.
 Clear pin clears the register and set to 0.
 CLK pin provides clock pulses to synchronize all the operations.
 In the control state, the information or data in the register would not change even though
the clock pulse is applied.
 If the register operates with a parallel load and shifts the data towards the right and left,
then it acts as a universal shift register.
 From the above figure, selected pins the mode of operation of the universal shift register.
Serial input shifts the data towards the right and left and stores the data within the
register.

 Clear pin and CLK pin are connected to the flip-flop.

 M0, M1, M2, M3 are the parallel inputs while F0, F1, F2, F3 are the parallel outputs of
flip-flops
 When the input pin is active HIGH, then the universal shift register loads / retrieve the
data in parallel. In this case, the input pin is directly connected to 4×1 MUX
 When the input pin (mode) is active LOW, then the universal shift register shifts the data.
In this case, the input pin is connected to 4×1 MUX via NOT gate.
 When the input pin (mode) is connected to GND (Ground), then the universal shift
register acts as a Bi-directional shift register.
 To perform the shift-right operation, the input pin is fed to the 1st AND gate of the 1st
flip-flop via serial input for shit-right.
 To perform the shift-left operation, the input pin is fed to the 8th AND gate of the last
flip-flop via input M.
 If the selected pins S0= 0 and S1 = 0, then this register doesn’t operate in any mode. That
means it will be in a Locked state or no change state even though the clock pulses are
applied.
 If the selected pins S0 = 0 and S1 = 1, then this register transfers or shifts the data to left
and stores the data.
 If the selected pins S0 = 1 and S1 = 0, then this register shifts the data to right and hence
performs the shift-right operation.
 If the selected pins S0 = 1 and S1 = 1, then this register loads the data in parallel. Hence
it performs the parallel loading operation and stores the data.

MOD-8 RIPPLE COUNTER

AIM: Draw the circuit diagram of MOD-8 ripple counter and construct a circuit using T-Flip-Flops
and Test It with a low frequency clock and sketch the output waveforms.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:
Desktop Computer, Synapticad Tool for Verilog Programming

THEORY:

Asynchronous counter:

A digital counter is a set of flip flop. An Asynchronous counter uses T flip flop to perform a
counting function. The actual hardware used is usually J-K flip-flop connected to logic 1.
In ripple counter, the first flip-flop is clocked by the external clock pulse & then each successive
flip-flop is clocked by the Q or /Q‘ output the previous flip-flop. Therefore in an asynchronous
counter the flip-flop are not clocked simultaneously. The input of MS-JK is connected to VCC
because when both inputs are one output is toggled. As MS-JK is negative edge triggered at each
high to low transition the next flip-flop is triggered. On this basis the design is done for MOD-8
counter.

1) Up Counter:

Fig shows 3 bit Asynchronous Up Counter. Here Flip-flop A act as a MSB Flip-flop and Flip-
flop C can act as a LSB Flip-flop. Clock pulse is connected to the Clock of flip-flop C. Output of
Flip-flop C (Qc) is connected to clock of next flip-flop(i.e. Flip-flop B) and so on. As soon as
clock pulse changes output is going to -change(at the negative edge of clock pulse) as a Up count
sequence. For 3 bit Up counter Truth table is as shown below.

2) Down Counter:

Fig shows 3 bit Asynchronous Down Counter. Here Flip-flop a act as a MSB Flip-flop
and Flip-flop C can act as a LSB Flip-flop. Clock pulse is connected to the Clock of flip-flop C.
Output of Flip-flop C (Qc‘) is connected to clock of next flip- flop (i.e. Flip-flop B) and so on.
As soon as clock pulse changes output is going to change(at the negative edge of clock pulse) as
a down count sequence. For 3 bit down counter Truth table is as shown below.

MOD–8 SYNCHRONOUS COUNTER

AIM: To Design MOD–8 synchronous counter using T Flip-Flop.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:
Desktop Computer, Synapticad Tool for Verilog Programming

THEORY:

A counter in which each flip-flop is triggered by the output goes to previous flip-flop.As all
the flip-flops do not change states simultaneously in asynchronous counter, spike occur at the
output. To avoid this, strobe pulse is required. Because of the propagation delay the operating
speed of asynchronous counter is low. This problem can be solved by triggering all the flip-flops
in synchronous with the clock signal and such counters are called synchronous counters.

‘1’ level. If it is connected to logic ‘0’, the segment outputs will generate the data for normal 7-
segment decoding, for all BCD inputs except Zero. Whenever the BCD inputs correspond to
Zero, the 7-segment display switches off. This is used for zero blanking in multi-digit displays.
BI If it is connected to logic ‘0’ level, the display is switched-off irrespective of the BCD inputs.
This is used for conserving the power in multiplexed displays. RBO This output is used for
cascading purposes and is connected to the RBI terminal of the succeeding stage.

AIM: Construct 7 Segment Display Circuit Using Decoder and7 Segment LED and test it.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:
Desktop Computer, Synapticad Tool for Verilog Programming

Binary to Gray conversion :

The Most Significant Bit (MSB) of the gray code is always equal to the MSB of the given binary code.
Other bits of the output gray code can be obtained by Ex-ORing binary code bit at that index and previous
index.

There are four inputs and four outputs. The input variable are defined as B3, B2, B1, B0 and the output
variables are defined as G3, G2, G1, G0. From the truth table, combinational circuit is designed.The logical
expressions are defined as :
B3 = G 3

B2 ⊕ B 3 = G 2

B1 ⊕ B 2 = G 1

B0 ⊕B1 =G0

Gray to binary conversion :

The Most Significant Bit (MSB) of the binary code is always equal to the MSB of the given binary number.
Other bits of the output binary code can be obtained by checking gray code bit at that index. If current gray code bit is
0, then copy previous binary code bit, else copy invert of previous binary code bit.

There are four inputs and four outputs. The input variable are defined as G3, G2, G1, G0 and the output variables are
defined as B3, B2, B1, B0. From the truth table, combinational circuit is designed. The logical expressions are defined
as :

G 0 ⊕ G1 ⊕ G2 ⊕ G3 = B 0

G 1 ⊕ G2 ⊕ G3 = B 1

G 2 ⊕ G3 = B 2
G3 =B3
