A 1-to-8 demultiplexer with data input Din, address inputs S0, S1, S2 (with S0
as the LSB) and Y0 to Y7 as the eight demultiplexed outputs, is to be designed
using two 2-to-4 decoders (with enable input E and address inputs A0 and A1)
as shown in the figure Din, S0, S1 and S2 are to be connected to P, Q, R and
S, but not necessarily in this order. The respective input connections to P, Q,
