A 4-bit MUX Design

We wish to design a 4-bit multiplexer. The block diagram is given in Fig. 9. There are 4

input data bits D0{D3, 2 input address bits A0 and A1, one serial output data bit Q, andan (optional) enable bit E which is used for expansion (discussed later). First we will design the decoder
We need m address bits to specify 2m data bits. So in our example, we have 2 address
bits. The truth table for our decoder is straightforward:
 The implementation of the truth table with standard gates is also straightforward, as
given
For the \gates/switches" part of the MUX, the design depends upon whether the input
data lines carry digital or analog signals. We will discuss the analog possibility later. The
digital case is the usual and simplest case. Here, the data routing can be accomplished
simply by forming 2-input ANDs of the decoder outputs with the corresponding data input,and then forming an OR of these terms. Explicitly,

Q = C0D0+ C1D1+C2D2+C3D3

Finally, if an ENABLE line E is included, it is simply ANDed with the righthand side of this expression. This can be used to switch the entire MUX IC off/on, and is useful for expansion to more bits.
