OBJECTIVE: Upon successful completion of this experiment, the student will be able:
To implement and verify Multiplexer operations using,
74LS153 IC
Module KL-33006

EQUIPMENT:
Training kit IDL-800
KL-31001 Digital Logic Lab
Module KL-33006

COMPONENTS:
74LS153 IC (1-of-4 Multiplexer)
Connecting Wires, Hard Wires

6.1 MULTIPLEXER:
A Multiplexer (MUX) is a device that allows digital information from several sources to route on
to single line common to destination. The basic multiplexer has several data inputs and a single
output line. It has also a data select input, which allows digital information on the one input to be
switched to be output line. Multiplexers are also called data selectors. The applications of
multiplexer are many, and range from parallel to serial converters, register shifting, data
transmission etc. Logic symbol and diagram for 2-input multiplexer is shown in fig 6.1 (a & b):

74LS153 MULTIPLEXER IC:

The TTL 74LS153 Multiplexer IC has two 4-input multiplexers. It has two selection inputs
which act on both selectors, two enabling inputs which must be usually low, four inputs for each
channel, and two outputs. Fig 6.2 shows the pin configuration of IC.

PROCEDURE:
Using IC:
Take Training Kit IDL-800 and apply power supply to it.
Carry out the pin configuration of 74LS153 IC.
Connect inputs D0 & D1 to two switches and Data-select input S to another switch.
Connect the output Y to the LED.
Carry out different combinations with the switches and fill the observation table.
Secondly connect the data inputs C0 to C3 and select inputs A, B to switches.
Connect enable input EN to ground.
.Connect the output OUT to LED.
Change selection code by means of switches and test the operation of device completely.

Using Module KL-33006:

a) Constructing a 2-to-1 Multiplexer:

2. Refer to data book for specifications of 74151.

When CBA = 000, data at D0 is send to output F.
When CBA = 010, data at D2 is send to output F.
When CBA = 111, data at D7 is send to output F.
The IC will function properly only when STROBE = 0.
Y will remain 0 when STROBE = 1.

3. Connect inputs D0-D7 to DIP Switch 1.0-1.7; inputs C, B, A to DATA Switches SW2, SW1,
SW0. Follow the input sequence in table 2-35; adjust D0-D7 and record output states.

REVIEW QUESTIONS:
