8-to-1 MULTIPLEXER

We know that a 2n X 1 mux has 2n inputs and n select lines.

Here 2n = 8

2n = 23, therefore n=3

So in 8-to-1 mux we have 23 i.e. 8 input lines and 3 select lines and of course one output line.

While designing any combinational circuit, we will follow certain steps and the steps are:
1) Define the functionality and design the truth table
2) With the help of K-maps, get the equations for the outputs
3) Once we write the equations, we can design the circuit accordingly

We know that output of multiplexer depends on select lines but not on input lines. If
selection line value is 0, i.e. 000, the value at zero th port i.e. the value on D0 will appear at the
output. If selection line value is 7, i.e. 111, the value on D7 will appear at the output and so
on….. This way, the output here depends on select lines, so on the input side we take select lines
rather than input lines while writing truth table.

As we have three select lines, we have eight possible combinations

1 1 1 D7

The next step in designing the combination circuit is to write the equations for outputs in
truth table using k-maps.
