4-to-1 Multiplexer Boolean Function

A multiplexer can implement a Boolean function by wiring its data inputs to fixed logic levels or variables. In this example, A and B are the select inputs of a 4-to-1 multiplexer. The data pattern 0, 1, 1, 0 makes the output high exactly when A and B differ, which is the XOR function. Reading the select combinations as truth-table addresses makes the method straightforward to verify. Change the four fixed data inputs to implement a different two-variable function without changing the multiplexer structure.

FAQ

Domande frequenti

How does a MUX implement XOR?

Its data inputs are wired to the XOR truth-table values 0, 1, 1 and 0.

Which signals act as variables?

A and B are the select inputs and therefore address the truth-table entries.

Can this implement XNOR?

Yes, use the inverted data pattern 1, 0, 0 and 1.
