Decoders Expansion
When a certain decoder size is needed, but only smaller
number of sizes is available.
Combine 2 or more decoders in a hierarchy, i.e. cascade the
smaller decoders to form a larger decoder size.
Decoder Expansion
Example:
A 3-to-8 Decoder Constructed with Two 2-to-4 Decoders
Decoder Expansion
The Operation
The MSB input, A2, functions:
As enable, EN, of one decoder
As its complement, EN to the other decoder
When A2=0,
Top decoder enabled Generates minterms D0 to D3.
Lower decoder disabled Outputs equal to 0.
When A2=1,
Top decoder disabled Outputs equal to 0.
Lower decoder enabled Generates minterms D4 to D7.
Decoder Expansion
The function of EN input
Very useful and convenient way to interconnect 2 or
more functional blocks
For the purpose of expanding digital functions into:
Similar functions with more inputs
outputs.
and
Decoder Expansion
Example:
Implementing a Binary Adder Using a Decoder
For an addition of X, Y, and Z (as Cin), the S and Cout
expression are as follows:
S(X,Y,Z) = m (1, 2, 4, 7)
C(X,Y,Z) = m (3, 5, 6, 7)
So, there are 3 inputs and 8 minterms
Use a 3-to-8 decoder.

Multiplexers (MUX)
MUX is a device that allows
digital information from
several sources to be routed
onto a single line for
transmission
It is made up of several datainput lines and a single output
line. It also has data-select
inputs which permits digital
data on any one of the inputs
to be switched to the output
line.
MUX is also known as data
selectors

Multiplexers (MUX)
Implementing a Boolean Function with a MUX
A multiplexer is basically a decoder that includes the OR
gate within the block.
To implement a Boolean function of n variables with a
mux having n selection inputs and 2n data inputs, one for
each minterm.
The minterms are generated in a mux by the circuit associated
with the selection inputs.
Individual minterms can be selected by the data inputs.
Multiplexers (MUX)
Implementing a Boolean Function with a MUX
Another method (more efficient way)
Implementing a Boolean function of n variables with a mux
having only n-1 selection inputs and 2n-1 data inputs.
Multiplexers (MUX)
Implementing a Boolean Function with a MUX
General procedure:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Produce Truth Table for Boolean function.
The first n-1 variables are applied to the selection inputs of
the mux.
The remaining single variable of the function is used for the
data input.
For each combination of the selection variables, we
evaluate the output as a function of the last variable, i.e. a
0, 1, the variable or its complement.
These values are then applied to the data inputs in the
proper order.

among a number of devices.
At any time, only one source and one destination
can use the communication line.
