MULTIPLEXERS
Multiply or select?

MULTIPLEXERS
A multiplexer (MUX) selects one data line from two or more input lines and routes data from the selected line to the output.
The particular data line that is selected is determined by the select inputs. Multiplexers are also known as Data Selectors. Data Select

4-INPUT MULTIPLEXER
Can select the data from four lines depending on the combination of two select bits.

EXPANDED MULTIPLEXERS

The enable (EN) pin disables the outputs of the MUX. This way the MUX can be used one at a time.

MULTIPLEXERS AND LOGIC FUNCTIONS

A useful application of the MUX is in the generation of combinational logic functions in sum-ofproducts form.

So whats the use [o_0]?

Can replace discrete logic gates. Often greatly number of ICs. reduces the

Can make design changes much easier

MULTIPLEXERS AND LOGIC FUNCTIONS

Consider 74LS151, an 8-input MUX, that can be use to implement any 3-variable logic function.
The variables are connected to the data-select inputs, and each data-input is set to logic level required in the truth table of the function to be implemented. Example: Implement the following logic function: F (A,B,C) = (3,5,6,7)

 Example: Implement the following logic function: F (A,B,C) = (3,5,6,7) A B C f(A,B,C)

DEMULTIPLEXERS
A demultiplexer (DEMUX) performs the opposite function from a MUX. It switches data from one input line to two or more data lines depending on the select inputs.
