Theory:

Multiplexer:
Multiplexer means many to one. A multiplexer (MUX) is a circuit with many inputs
but only one output. The selection of a particular input line is controlled by a set of selection
lines. Normally there are n input lines and m select lines whose bit combination determines
which input is selected. It’s a special combinational circuit that is one of the most widely
used standard circuits in digital design. The multiplexer (or data selector) is a logic circuit
that gates one out of several inputs to a single output as shown in Figure 1.1. The output
selected is controlled by a set of select inputs.

For selecting one out of n inputs for connection to the output, a step of m select inputs is
required, where2m=n. Depending upon the digital code applied at the select inputs one out of
n data sources is selected and transmitted to a single output channel. Normally, a strobe (or
enable) input (E) is incorporated which helps in cascading and it is generally active-low,
which means it performs its intended operation when it is LOW.
Types of Multiplexers:

● 2:1 MUX

● 4:1 MUX

● 8:1 MUX

● 16:1MUX

Figure 1.2a and 1.2b shows block diagram and internal diagram of 4:1 Multiplexer
respectively.

 1. It reduces the number of wires.
2. It reduces the circuit complexity and cost.
3. We can implement many combinational circuits.
4. It simplifies the logic design
5. It doesn’t need the k maps and simplification
Applications of Multiplexer:
1. Used as a data selector to select one out of many data inputs.
2. Used for simplification of logic design.
3. In data acquisition system
4. In designing the combinational circuits.
5. In D/A converters.
