Digital circuits 2-input multiplexer implemented into an and gate

SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on implementing logic gates using a 2-input multiplexer (MUX). Specifically, it details how to construct an AND gate and an OR gate by manipulating the inputs of the MUX. The conversation highlights the versatility of a 2-to-1 multiplexer in creating a 4-to-1 multiplexer, which can then be used to implement any 2-input logic function. The truth table for the specified inputs is also examined, prompting users to consider the resulting logical function.

PREREQUISITES

How do you implement different gates by using a two-input multiplexer? What are the inputs supposed to be? How do you implement an AND gate, for example? An OR?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
There are different ways of building logic with a 2-to-1 multiplexer.

One way is to built a 4-to-1 multiplexer with your 2-to-1 chips; once you have a 4-to-1 multiplexer, you can implement any logic function with 2 inputs.

Food for thought: what happens if you choose your inputs to be:

f(0,0) = 0
f(0,1) = 1
f(1,0) = 1
f(1,1) = 0

what will be the truth table for your inputs I0 and I1? which function f(x,y) are you implementing?

Same process for AND / OR function.
