Objective:
The purpose of using a multiplexer is to allow a single input signal to be directed
to one of several outputs, or to allow multiple input signals to be combined into a
single output signal .We learnt how to implement 4 to 1 and 2 to 1 multiplexer.
Also we used 2 to 1 mux for making 4 to 1 mux.

Practical Application
Multiplexers are often used in digital logic circuits to select one of several inputs
and direct it to a single output. They are also used in communication systems to
allow multiple channels of information to be transmitted over a single
communication line or channel. In general, the objective of using a multiplexer is
to increase the efficiency and flexibility of a system by allowing multiple signals to
be handled or processed in a single device.

Equipment Required
 Basic Gates (AND,OR NOT )
 Connecting wires
 Bread board
 DLD trainer board
 Power Source

Task 1
2-to-1 Multiplexer
A 2-to-1 multiplexer consists of two inputs A0 and A1, one select input S and one
output Y. Depending on the select signal, the output is connected to either of the
inputs. Since there are two input signals, only two ways are possible to connect the
inputs to the outputs, so one select is needed to do these operations .

If the select line is low, then the output will be switched to A0 input, whereas if
select line is high, then the output will be switched to A1 input. The figure below
shows the circuit diagram of a 2-to-1 multiplexer which connects two 1-bit inputs
to a common destination.

Task 2
4 to 1 multiplexer
A 4-to-1 multiplexer consists of four data input lines as D0 to D3, two select lines
as S0 and S1 and a single output line Y. The select lines S0 and S1 select one of
the four input lines to connect the output line. The figure below shows the block
diagram of a 4-to-1 multiplexer in which, the multiplexer decodes the input
through select line.

The truth table of a 4-to-1 multiplexer is shown below in which four input
combinations 00, 10, 01 and 11 on the select lines respectively switches the inputs
I0, I2, I1 and I3 to the output. That means when S0=0 and S1 =0, the output at Y is
I0, similarly Y is I1 if the select inputs S0=0 and S1= 1 and so on.

Task 3
4 to 1 Line Mux Using 2 to 1 Mux
1. First, connect the four inputs (I0, I1, I2, and I3) of the 4-to-1 multiplexer to
the inputs (I0 and I1) of the first 2-to-1 multiplexer.
2. Next, connect the output of the first 2-to-1 multiplexer to one input (I0) of
the second 2-to-1 multiplexer.
3. Connect the second input (I1) of the second 2-to-1 multiplexer to the
remaining input (I2) of the 4-to-1 multiplexer.
4. Finally, connect the output of the second 2-to-1 multiplexer to the output (O)
of the 4-to-1 multiplexer.

Conclusion:
In short in this lab we studied that the use of a multiplexer is to allow a single input
signal to be directed to one of several outputs, or to allow multiple input signals to
be combined into a single output signal .We learnt how to implement 4 to 1 and 2
to 1 multiplexer. Also we used 2 to 1 mux for making 4 to 1 mux.
