Implementation of 1:8 Demultiplexer . The Verilog Code for 1:8 Demultiplexer with the Testbench code and RTL Schematic and Test Bench Simulation Waveform is provided here.

Demultiplexer

A Demultiplexer is also called Demux, or data distributor and its operation is quite opposite to a multiplexer because it is an inverse to the multiplexer.

The multiplexer is a many-to-one circuit whereas the Demultiplexer is a one-to-many circuit. By using Demultiplexer, the transmission of data can be done through one single input to a number of output data lines.

Generally, Demultiplexers are used in decoder circuits and Boolean function generators

1:8 Demultiplexer Truth Table

The Truth Table for a 1:8 Demultiplexer is given below. ( Where A is the Input and , S0,S1,S2 are the three select lines and Y0,Y1,Y2,Y3,Y4,Y5,Y6,Y7 are the eight outputs of 1:8 Demultiplexer.

Boolean Expression for 1:8 Demultiplexer

Y0 = A (S2)'(S1)'(S0)’

Y1 = A (S2)'(S1)'(S0)

Y2 = A (S2)'(S1)(S0)’

Y3 = A (S2)'(S1)(S0)

Y4 = A (S2)(S1)'(S0)’

Y5 = A (S2)(S1)'(S0)

Y6 = A (S2)(S1)(S0)’

Y7 = A (S2)(S1)(S0)
