IC 7411: Triple 3-input AND gates

IC 7432: Quad 2-input OR gates
IC 7404: Hex inverters
Resistors: 220, 0.25Watt

THEORY:
A decoder with an enable input is referred to as a demultiplexer. A demultiplexer is a
circuit that receives information on a single line and transmits this information on one of 2 n
possible output lines. The selection of a specific output line is controlled by the bit values
of n selection lines. It is the enable input that makes the circuit a demultiplexer; the
decoder itself can use AND, NAND, or NOR gates. The circuit diagram of demultiplexer
consists of AND gates as shown in fig. 8.2. 14 Demultiplexer consists of 1 input line and
4 output lines.

PROCEDURE:
1. Connect the logic circuit for demultiplexer as shown in Fig. 5.1 using ICs 7404,
and 7411.
2. Connect 5V to VDD pin and 0V to GND pin of all ICs.

3. Connect four LEDs at the four outputs of the demultiplexer. Use appropriate
current limiting resistor in series with each LED. Proper LED connection is
illustrated in Fig. 5.2.
4. Apply inputs to select lines and E according to the demultiplexer function table,
and repeat the experiment to complete Table 5.2.
5. A 0V input results in all LEDs being switched off, a 5V input results in one LED
glowing on the output line selected by the two select lines.

NOTE: X indicates invalid output. For the circuit given, the invalid outputs turn out to
be zero. Verify their zero status for S0=0, S1=0 case.

PRECAUTIONS:
1. Correct ICs should be properly placed on the IC bases using pin diagram.
2. The open circuit voltage of the power supply must be stable.
3. All dont care inputs in TTL must be tied to either GND or VDD.

4. A multimeter reading greater than VDD indicates an open connection in the circuit.
Verify the circuit before proceeding.
5. Use multimeter probe tip to gently ease the IC out of breadboard. The mid-section
groove of the breadboard can be used to gently lift the IC. Using bare hands might
cause IC pins to break.
6. In case the logic gate outputs do not make sense, check your circuit thoroughly. If
the problem is still not resolved, get the IC tested by the technician.

RESULT:
The operation of 14 DeMUX has been verified.

VIVA QUESTIONS:
1. What are the differences between decoder & demultiplexer?
2. Connect a 41 MUX output to a 14 DeMUX input. Use the same select lines for
both MUX and DeMUX. Draw the diagram and explain how this system works.
