Connects the word_in input port to one of the words in the words_out
output port, as selected by the selectors one-hot vector, and raises the
corresponding valid bit in the valids_out output port. If more than one
bit is set in the selectors input, then all the corresponding output
words will get the input word value.
Set the BROADCAST parameter to 1 to simply replicate and connect
word_in to each word in words_out, without any logic. The valid bit
will indicate which downstream logic should accept the data, and other
logic can snoop the data if that's part of your larger design.
Set the BROADCAST parameter to 0 to send word_in to only the selected
word in words_out, whose valid bit is set. All other output words are
annulled to zero. If no valid bit is set, all output words stay at zero.
Not broadcasting the input to the output costs some logic, but less than it appears from a standalone synthesis of the demultiplexer: the inferred Annullers will very likely disappear into downstream LUT logic, it also makes tracing a simulation easier, and adds some design security and robustness since unselected downstream logic cannot snoop or accidentally receive other data.
If necessary, select the Annuller IMPLEMENTATION which yields the best
logic synthesis. Usually, this does not matter, and can be set to "AND".
Setting BROADCAST to any value other than 1 or 0 will disconnect
word_in from words_out, raise some critical warnings in your CAD tool,
and generally cause a lot of downstream logic to optimize away, so you
should notice...

If we are not broadcasting, then for each output word, annul the output
if its selector bit is not set. Thus, only the selected output word will
have the word_in data. All others will stay at zero. Otherwise, simply
replicate and connect the input to all outputs.
