Multiplexer

Multiplexer is a combinational circuit that has maximum of 2n data inputs, ‘n’ selection lines and
single output line. One of these data inputs will be connected to the output based on the values of
selection lines. It is also known as Data Selector.

For example: In case of 4:1 Mux

Input lines =2n , here n is number of select lines

4=2n

n=2
Therefore, 4:1Mux has 2 select lines

Try yourself: How many select lines does 8:1 Mux have?

IMPLEMENTATION OF FULL ADDER AND FULL SUBTRACTOR USING IC 74153

Full Adder

The full adder is used to add three 1-bit binary numbers A, B, and carry C. The full adder has three
input states and two output states i.e., sum and carry.

Sum and carry is calculated following the formulae: A+B+Cin

 Full Subtractor

The full subtractor is used to subtract three 1-bit numbers A, B, and C, which are minuend,
subtrahend, and borrow, respectively. The full subtractor has three input states and two output
states i.e., diff and borrow.

Difference and Borrow is calculated following the formulae: A-B-Borrowin
