A 3×8 decoder is a digital circuit that decodes a 3-bit input into one of eight output lines. It is a combinational logic circuit that takes a 3-bit binary number as input and activates one of its 8 output lines, setting the corresponding output to high (1), while the remaining outputs remain low (0). A 3×8 decoder has three input lines (A, B, and C) and eight output lines (Y0 to Y7).
Truth Table for 3×8 Decoder:
The truth table shows how the 3-bit input corresponds to the output lines:
| A | B | C | Y0 | Y1 | Y2 | Y3 | Y4 | Y5 | Y6 | Y7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | ________ _______ ________ _________ ___ ______ _____ _______.
