IC USED: 7486(X-OR), 7408(AND), 7432(OR), 7404(NOT), 74151A (8×1 MUX).

THEORY: A multiplexer is a device that performs multiplexing i.e. it selects one of many analog
or digital input signals and forwards the selected input into a single line. A multiplexer of 2 n
inputs has n select lines, which are used to select which input line to be sent to the output.

A Boolean equation for 8×1 Multiplexer is

Z = A’.B’.C’ + A’.B’.C + A’.B.C’ + A’.B.C + A.B’.C’ + A.B’.C + A.B.C’ + A.B.C

 EXPERIMENT NO.6
AIM: To design a 4 bit combinational shifter.

IC USED: 74157(quad 2×1 MUX).

THEORY: An n-bit shift circuit has a single n-bit data input A, and a single n-bit output R and a
number of control inputs to determine the shift amount ( 0 to n-1).

In this case the possible shift operations are SHIFT LEFT and SHIFT RIGHT. This shifting
depends on selection line input S. If S = 0 then SHIFT RIGHT operation takes place , else
SHIFT LEFT operation takes place.

 EXPERIMENT NO.7
AIM: To design a BCD adder.

IC USED: 7483A (4-bit adder), 7408(AND), 7432(OR).

THEORY:

It is possible to perform addition in BCD by first adding in binary, and then converting to BCD afterwards.
Conversion of the simple sum of two digits can be done by adding 6 (that is, 16 – 10) when the result has
a value greater than 9.

For example:

1001 + 1000 = 10001 = 0001 0001

9 + 8 = 17 = 1 1

In BCD, there cannot exist a value greater than 9 (1001) per nibble. To correct this, 6 (0110) is added to
that sum to get the correct first two digits:

0001 0001 + 0000 0110 = 0001 0111

 1 1+ 0 6= 1 7

This gives two nibbles, 0001 and 0111, which correspond to the digits "1" and "7". This yields "17" in
BCD, which is the correct result. This technique can be extended to adding multiple digits, by adding in
groups from right to left, propagating the second digit as a carry, always comparing the 5-bit result of
each digit-pair sum to 9.

RESULT: BCD adder is designed and output is verified.
 EXPERIMENT NO.8
AIM: To design a 4-bit adder subtractor.

IC USED: 7483A (4-bit adder), 7486(X-OR).

THEORY:

It is a combinational circuit which can act as both a binary adder and a binary subtractor. It is
constructed using 4 full adders.Block diagram of the circuit is shown below:

In this case if sub is 0, then the circuit acts as an adder,else subtractor. Subtraction is done by
adding two’s compliment of B to A, which effectively results in A - B.

RESULT: The circuit of a 4-Bit adder subtractor is designed and verified.

 EXPERIMENT NO.9
AIM: To design an ALU.

IC USED: 74153(4×1 MUX), 7432(OR), 7404(NOT), 7408(AND), 7486(XOR).

THEORY: In computing, an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) is a digital circuit that performs
arithmetic and logical operations. The ALU is a fundamental building block of the central
processing unit (CPU) of a computer, and even the simplest microprocessors contain one for
purposes such as maintaining timers. The processors found inside modern CPUs and graphics
processing units (GPUs) accommodate very powerful and very complex ALUs; a single
component may contain a number of ALUs.

Mathematician John von Neumann proposed the ALU concept in 1945.

Below is a block diagram for an ALU:

RESULT: The ALU is designed and its output is verified.

 EXPERIMENT-10

AIM: To design a 2:4 decoder

IC USED: 7404(NOT), 7408(AND).

THEORY: A decoder is a device which does the reverse of an encoder, undoing the encoding so
that the original information can be retrieved. The same method used to encode is usually just
reversed in order to decode.

In digital electronics, a decoder can take the form of a multiple-input, multiple-output logic
circuit that converts coded inputs into coded outputs, where the input and output codes are
different.

Decoders have 2 inputs and 4 outputs. The binary input fed at input will be decoded to provide
either logical high or low on one of the 4 outputs, which is termed as octal equivalent for that
binary input. For a binary input 100, which is 4 in octal number system, the output pin called
O4 will go either high or low.
