A 1-to-8 demultiplexer with data input D$$_{in}$$ , address inputs S$$_{0}$$, S$$_{1}$$, S$$_{2}$$ (with S$$_{0}$$ as the LSB) and $${\overline Y _0}$$ to $${\overline Y _7}$$ as the eight demultiplexed outputs, is to be designed using two 2-to-4 decoders (with enable input $$\overline E $$ and address inputs A$$_{0}$$ and A$$_{1}$$) as shown in the figure. $${D_{in}}$$, S$$_{0}$$, S$$_{1}$$and S$$_{2}$$ are to be connected to P, Q, R and S, but not necessarily in this order. The respective input connections to P, Q, R, and S terminals should be

An 8-to-1 multiplexer is used to implement a logical function Y as shown in the figure. The output Y is given by

A 16-bit ripple carry adder is realized using 16 identical full adders (FA) as shown in the figure. The carry-propagation delay of each FA is 12 ns and the sum-propagation delay of each FA is 15 ns. The worst case delay (in ns) of this 16-bit adder will be_______________.

If X and Y are inputs and the Difference (D = X – Y) and the Borrow (B) are the outputs, which one of the following diagrams implements a half-subtractor?
