Experiment No-4

Aim: Implementation and Verification of 4x1 Multiplexer and 8x1 Multiplexer.

Apparatus Used: Simulator.io is an online CAD tool for logic circuits. We will use this platform to
implement and verify the 4x1 Multiplexer and 8x1 Multiplexer.

Theory:

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.

Since there are ‘n’ selection lines, there will be 2n possible combinations of zeros and ones. So, each
combination will select only one data input. Multiplexer is also called as Mux.

4×1 Multiplexer:

In the 4×1 multiplexer, there is a total of four inputs, i.e., A0, A1, A2, and A3, 2 selection lines, i.e., S0 and
S1 and single output, i.e., Y. On the basis of the combination of inputs that are present at the selection lines
S0 and S1, one of these 4 inputs are connected to the output. The block diagram and the truth table of the 4×1
multiplexer are given below.

Truth Table:
The logical expression of the term Y is as follows:

Y=S1' S0' A0+S1' S0 A1+S1 S0' A2+S1 S0 A3

Logical circuit of the above expression is given below:

8 to 1 Multiplexer:

In the 8 to 1 multiplexer, there are total eight inputs, i.e., A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, and A7, 3 selection lines,
i.e., S0, S1and S2 and single output, i.e., Y. On the basis of the combination of inputs that are present at the
selection lines S0, S1, and S2, one of these 8 inputs are connected to the output. The block diagram and the truth
table of the 8×1 multiplexer are given below.

Use of Multiplexers
1. Telephone networking: In telephonic networking, several signals are integrated into one signal audio signal,
with the help of multiplexers.
2. Memory in the Computers: Multiplexers transmit huge memories into the computer while reducing the total
copper lines for connecting the memory to different parts in the computer circuit.
3. Communication system: The efficiency of the Communication styles is incremented by the application of
Multiplexers. It helps in transmitting several types of data into a single transmission line.
4. Multiplexers help in the transmission of data signals of satellites through GPS Satellites.

Procedure:

1. Place elements on the board like 4x1 MUX, AND Gates, OR Gate, NOT Gate

2. There are several input/output elements to interact with the user during the simulation (likes buttons or
displays).

3. Afterwards connect your elements using the wire tool.

4. Verify the Truth Table of 4x1 MUX and 8x1 MUX by switching the inputs.

Results: The Truth Table of 4x1 MUX and 8x1 MUX are verified.

Precautions:

1. Connect all the wires carefully.

2. Align the elements properly on the board.
3. Label all the elements properly.
