Implementation of Function F(A, B, C) Using a 3-to-8 Line Decoder and Basic Gates

(A) Implementing F(A,B,C) using a 3-to-8 Decoder and Basic Gates

A 3-to-8 decoder has three inputs (A, B, C) and eight outputs corresponding to minterms (m0 to m7). It generates an output of 1 for exactly one input combination.

Truth Table for 3-to-8 Decoder Outputs
ABCDecoder Outputs
000m0 = 00000001
001m1 = 00000010
010m2 = 00000100
011m3 = 00001000
100m4 = 00010000
101m5 = 00100000
110m6 = 01000000
111m7 = 10000000

From the given function:
F = AC’ + B’C

  • AC’: It is active for minterms m4 (100) and m6 (110)
  • B’C: It is active for minterms m1 (001) and m6 (110)

Thus, F = m1 + m4 + m6

Implementation:

  • Use a 3-to-8 decoder to generate minterms.
  • Use an OR gate to combine m1, m4, and m6.

(B) Implementing F(A,B,C) using Max Terms

Max term-based implementation:
F = A + B’ + C

From the truth table, we convert it into a Sum of Maxterms:

ABCF
0000
0011
0100
0110
1001
1010
1101
1111

F = (A + B’ + C)

  • Implement using basic OR and NOT gates.

(C) Designing a 3-Input XOR Using a 3-to-8 Decoder and Basic Gates

A 3-input XOR function is:
F = A ⊕ B ⊕ C

Truth Table:

ABCF
0000
0011
0101
0110
1001
1010
1100
1111

The function selects minterms m1, m2, m4, m7.

Implementation:

  • Use a 3-to-8 decoder to generate the minterms.
  • Use an OR gate to combine m1, m2, m4, m7.
