Multiplexers Digital Logic Design

The document discusses multiplexers (MUX), including their applications, basic structure and operation, and how they can be used to implement Boolean logic functions. Specifically: - A MUX selects from one of several inputs and directs it to the output. It has multiple data inputs, a single output, and a selection code that determines which input is directed to the output. - MUXes are used to increase transmission efficiency by allowing multiple data streams to be transmitted over a single line. They are also used in computer memory to efficiently connect memory to other components. - The document provides examples of 2-to-1 and 4-to-1 MUXes, and explains how to design larger

Multiplexers (MUX)

1
Combinational Logic

◼ Outline
❑ Introduction to Multiplexer (MUX)
❑ Applications
❑ 2x1 MUX
❑ 4x1 MUX
❑ 8x1 MUX
❑ Implementation of Boolean Expression using MUX

2
Applications
◼ A Multiplexer is used in various applications wherein
multiple data can be transmitted using a single line.

◼ A Multiplexer is used to increase the efficiency of the


communication system by allowing the transmission of
data, such as audio & video data from different channels
via cables and single lines.

◼ A Multiplexer is used in computer memory to keep up a


vast amount of memory in the computers, and also to
decrease the number of copper lines necessary to
connect the memory to other parts of the computer.

Multiplexer (MUX)

◼ Selects from 1 of many inputs and directs it to the output

◼ Input
❑ 2n lines

◼ Output
❑ 1 line

◼ Selection may be controlled by select lines

4
Multiplexer (MUX)

◼ Example
❑ 2-to-1 MUX

◼ How to design?
❑ 4-to-1 MUX
❑ Selection code directs input

5
4-to-1 MUX

What are the values of Y?

6
Use MUXes for Boolean Functions

◼ MUXes can also be used to implement the Boolean


function
◼ Use MUX to implement the following function

F = x’y’z + x’yz’ + xy’z + xyz

◼ Concept
❑ MUX is a decoder + OR gate
❑ Use the selector to direct correct value to output

7
Use MUXes for Boolean Functions

◼ Example
❑ F(x,y,z) = (1,2,6,7)

❑ Truth table

Use MUXes for Boolean Functions

11
Use MUXes for Boolean Functions

◼ Example:
❑ Design a full adder using MUXes

◼ Expressions
❑ S(x,y,z) = Σ(1,2,4,7); C(x,y,z) = Σ(3,5,6,7)

13
Prime number detector using MUX
Create a 4-bit prime number detector using multiplexer.
The circuit has four inputs, N3, N2, N1, and N0 that
correspond to a 4-bit number (N3 is the most significant
bit) and one output P that is 1 when the input is a prime
number and that is 0 otherwise.

15
Fuel level detector using MUX
A car has a fuel-level detector that outputs the current fuel-
level as a 3-bit binary number, with 000 meaning empty and
111 meaning full. Create a circuit that illuminates a “low fuel”
indicator light (by setting an output L to 1) when the fuel level
drops below level 3.
