AIM:
Simulation of 2:4 decoder by using the Xilinx ise designer.
THEORY:
A decoder is a multiple input, multiple output logic circuit that changes codes i/ps into coded
o/ps, where both the inputs and outputs are dissimilar for instance n-to-2n, and binary coded
decimal decoders. Decoding is essential in applications like data multiplexing, memory
address decoding, and 7 segment display. The best example of decoder circuit would be an
AND-gate because when all its inputs are “High.”, the output of this gate is “High” which is
called “active High output”. As an alternative to AND gate, the NAND gate is connected the
output will be “Low” (0) only when all its inputs are “High”. Such o/p is called “active low
output”.

Designing of 2 to 4 Line Decoder Circuit

Similar to the multiplexer circuit, the decoder is not restricted to a particular address line, and
thus can have more than two outputs (with two, three, or four address lines). The decoder
circuit can decode a 2, 3, or 4-bit binary number, or can decode up to 4, 8, or 16 time-
multiplexed signals.
2 to 4 Line Decoder Truth Table

SOFTWARE USED:
Xilinx ISE Design suit.

VHDL CODE FOR SIMULATION :

library IEEE;
use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.all;

entity decoder1 is
port(

a : in STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(1 downto 0);

b : out STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(3 downto 0)
);

end decoder1;

architecture bhv of decoder1 is

begin

process(a)
begin

if (a="00") then
b <= "0001";

elsif (a="01") then

b <= "0010";

elsif (a="10") then

b <= "0100";
else
b <= "1000";
end if;
end process;

end bhv;

end decoder2;

architecture bhv of decoder2 is

begin

b(0) <= not a(0) and not a(1);

b(1) <= not a(0) and a(1);
b(2) <= a(0) and not a(1);
b(3) <= a(0) and a(1);
