AIM: To implement and study 4:1 multiplexer and 1:4 demultiplexer using logic gates in
virtual labs.

REQUIREMENTS:
A computer system with internet connection to open following virtual lab link:
https://de-iitr.vlabs.ac.in/exp/multiplexer demultiplexer/simulation.html

THEORY:
MULTIPLEXER:
Multiplexer means transmitting a large number of information units over a smaller number
of channels or lines. A digital multiplexer is a combinational circuit that selects binary
information from one of many input lines and directs it to a single output line. The selection
of a particular input line is controlled by a set of selection lines. Normally there are 2n input
line and n selection lines whose bit combination determine which input is selected.
4x1 Multiplexer
4x1 Multiplexer has four data inputs D0, D1, D2 & D3, two selection lines S0 & S1 and one
output Y. The block diagram of 4x1 Multiplexer is shown in Fig. 8.1. One of these 4 inputs will
be connected to the output based on the combination of inputs present at these two selection
lines. Truth table of 4x1 Multiplexer is shown below.

DEMULTIPLEXER:
The function of Demultiplexer is in contrast to multiplexer function. It takes information from
one line and distributes it to a given number of output lines. For this reason, the demultiplexer
is also known as a data distributor. Decoder can also be used as demultiplexer. In the 1: 4
demultiplexer circuit, the data input line goes to all of the AND gates. The data select lines
enable only one gate at a time and the data on the data input line will pass through the
selected gate to the associated data output line.

1x4 De-multiplexer
1x4 De-Multiplexer has one input Data(D), two selection lines, S0 & S1 and four outputs Y0,
Y1, Y2 & Y3. The block diagram of 1x4 De-Multiplexer is shown in Fig. 8.2.

PRECAUTIONS:
1. The connections should be neat and tight.
2. Do not switch ON the trainer board without checking and verifying the connections.
