Example of A Combinatorial Circuit: A Multiplexer (MUX)

A multiplexer (MUX) is a combinational circuit with m inputs, one output, n control inputs, and an enable input. The value on the output depends on the states of the control inputs, which determine which input the output is set to. A 4-to-1 MUX has 4 inputs, 1 output, 2 control inputs that can select one of the 4 inputs to pass to the output. Digital functions can be implemented using a multiplexer by connecting the function's minterms to the inputs and using the control lines to select the appropriate input.

Example of a Combinatorial Circuit:

A Multiplexer (MUX)
Consider an integer ‘m’, which is
constrained by the following relation:
m = 2 n,
where m and n are both integers.
 A m-to-1 Multiplexer has

 m Inputs: I , I , I , ................ I
0 1 2 (m-1)
 one Output: Y
 n Control inputs: S0, S1, S2, ...... S(n-1)
One (or more) Enable input(s)

such that Y may be equal to one of the inputs,


depending upon the control inputs.

Characteristic Table of a Multiplexer

 If the MUX is enabled,

01 Y=I1
10 Y=I2
11 Y=I3

Putting the above information in the form of a Boolean equation,


Y =G. I0. S’1. S’0 + G. I1. S’1. S0 + G. I2. S1. S’0 + G. I3. S1. S0

by using a Multiplexer: Example 2
In this example to design a 3 variable logical function, we try to
use a 4-to-1 MUX rather than a 8-to-1 MUX.
F(x, y, z)=∑ (m(1, 2, 4, 7)
