How to derive xor gate using 2:1 mux and 1 not gate?

[ppallavi]

HI,

How to derive xor gate using 2:1 mux and 1 not gate?

mux as a universal gate

Suppose A Mux is having Inputs I1,I2 and Select Line S

Connect Inputs A, B (of targeted XOR Gate) as following:

I1 := A
I2 := not A
S := B

xor gate mux

you can easily write the truth table of any function
deduce its equation
then convert that to a mux (which is a universal gate, can be used to construct more complex gates)...by having part of the function multiplied by Select_of_mux and the other one multiplied by Select_of_mux_bar....

Xor= Abar.B+A.Bbar
So here the Select_of_mux is B for instance and it's multiplied by Abar
and same for Select_of_mux_bar

you can read more about Shannon's expansion regarding this approach

multiplexer as universal gate

Hi,

Thank you tut.

Salma,
can you please elaborate the answer with detail explanation ?

derive xor

hi

for writing any function of a gate...you can deduce it from its truth table
for all the ones found, write the corresponding variables

truth table of XOR is:

A B | Xor_output
0 0 0
0 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 0

okay...so for writing this xor as a function of A and B you'd say:

Xor_output = Abar.B + A.Bbar (since these are the variables which correspond to the ones in the output

was that the part confusing you?
or something else???

xor gate from 2 2 to 1 mux truth table

Hi Salma,

this is fine. This gives xor equation in terms of SOP. But now how select line is introduced to get effect of x or ing using mux ?

As you said, Shannon's theorem can be used. I want to know how to apply this logic to derive any gate from 2:1 mux.

e.g if i connect input B to select line of mux, then I get OR gate. But how to arrive to this point from or gate equation and mux equation ?

I hope, you are getting my question...

build xor gate out of muxes

Hi Salma,

this is fine. This gives xor equation in terms of SOP. But now how select line is introduced to get effect of x or ing using mux ?

As you said, Shannon's theorem can be used. I want to know how to apply this logic to derive any gate from 2:1 mux.

you have to select one variable to be the select
for this equation it's the same to use either A or B
then you just connect it and put the factor multiplied by this variable as the input of the mux (here, they're are WHATEVER_1 and WHATEVER_2...they can be simple variables or a whole equation!

function= (WHATEVER_1). Select + (WHATEVER_2).Select_bar


for the second part...i didn't get it...explain more plz

xor function using 2 2-1 muxes

Hi,

I did not understand the explanation.

Now, we have equations as XOR : Abar.B + A.Bbar
AND : A.B
OR : A + B

and equation of 2:1 mux is : Abar.S + B.S

So, how to come to a conclusion for deriving above 3 equations from mux equation? Is there any standard method to do this derivation?

 

[kanagavel_docs]

mux as universalgate

Hi,

Xor equation is Abar.B + Bbar.A
Mux equation is I0.Sbar + I1.S
So if we make I1 as I0bar it will work as XOR gate.

detailed explanation xor gate with mux

hi pallvi
u r taken 2x1 mux a and b inputs
b is select line b=0 then o/p a value b=1 then o/p abar value
