Multiplexers: D D D Y

A multiplexer is a circuit that selects one of several input lines and directs it to a single output line, acting like a digital switch. The selection of the input line is controlled by selection lines, with the number of selection lines determining the number of possible input lines. A multiplexer can be represented by a block diagram showing the data and selection inputs and single output. Its truth table shows the output depends on the state of the selection line rather than the input lines.

MULTIPLEXERS

A multiplexer is a combinational circuit that selects binary information from


one of many input lines and directs it to a single output line. This can act as
digital switch because input is switched to output based on the selection line. It
can also be called as a data selector because it selects which data is to be sent to
the output.

The selection of a particular input line is controlled by a set of selection


lines. Normally, there are 2n input lines and n selection lines i.e if there are 8(23)
inputs lines, there will be 3 select lines. The bit combinations of set of selection
lines determine which input is to be selected.

Now let us design a truth table for 2 to 1 MUX. Generally while writing truth
table we consider inputs and outputs but here in case of multiplexer we take
selection line i.e selector ‘S’ into consideration because output here depends on
the selection line but not inputs.

0 D0

1 D1

From the table we can represent output as Y = D0S’ + D1S
