Decoder

Library: Plexers
Introduced: 2.0 Beta 11
Appearance:

Behavior

Emits 1 on exactly one output; which output is 1 depends on the current value received through the input on the south edge.

Pins (assuming component faces east, select is bottom/left)

East edge, variable number (outputs, bit width 1)
The outputs are numbered starting with 0 on the north. Each output will be 1 if its number matches the value currently received through the select input on the south; otherwise, its value will be either zero or floating, depending on the value of the Three-State? attribute. If the select input contains any unspecified bits, then all outputs are floating.
South edge, left side (input, bit width 1)
Enable: When 0, all outputs consist of all floating bits (or zeros), regardless of the select input.
South edge, right side indicated by gray circle (input, bit width matches Select Bits attribute)
Select input: The value of this input determines which of the outputs is 1.

Attributes

When the component is selected or being added, the digits '1' through '4' alter its Select Bits attribute and the arrow keys alter its Facing attribute.

Facing
The direction of the component (specifying which side has the outputs).
Select Location
The location of the select and enable lines relative to the component.
Select Bits
The bit width of the component's select input on its south edge. The number of outputs for the decoder will be 2selectBits.
Three-state?
Specifies whether the unselected outputs should be floating (Yes) or zero (No).
Disabled Output
Specifies what each bit of the outputs should be when the component is disabled (i.e., when the enable pin is 0). Options include zero and floating; in the latter case, the outputs are effectively disconnected from any other ports.
Include Enable?
The component has an enable input when this attribute is yes. The attribute is primarily for supporting circuits built using older versions of Logisim that did not provide an enable input.

Poke Tool Behavior

None.
