EKT 221 : Digital 2 MUX-based Transfer
2
Multiplexer-Based Transfers
A dedicated multiplexer is used to select the wanted input. A simple technique using multiplexers for selection is introduced to allow multiple microoperations on a single register. From previous lecture, we saw that multiplexers and parallel load registers can be used to implement dedicated transfers from multiple sources.

Dedicated MUX – based Transfer
SELECT S0 S1 S2 L0 L1 L2 LOAD Dedicated MUX – based Transfer MUX0 MUX1 MUX2 Three n-bit 2:1 MUX, each with its own SELECT signal MUX0 : S0 MUX1 : S1 MUX2 : S2 Each register has its own LOAD signal R0 : L0 R1 : L1 R2 : L2
4
Dedicated MUX – based Transfer
Multiplexer connected to each register input produces a very flexible structure Characterize the simultaneous transfers possible with this structure
5
L2 : R2 ← R1 Example 1: S0, S1, S2 = (0,0,1) and L0, L1, L2 = (0,0,1)
then L2 : R2 ← R1
6
L1: R1 ← R0, L2 : R2← R0 Example 2: S0, S1, S2 = (1,0,0) and
L0, L1, L2 = (0,1,1) then L1: R1 ← R0, L2 : R2← R0

MUX and Bus – based transfer for Multiple Registers
A typical digital system has many registers. Paths must be provided to transfer data from one register to another. Multiplexer dedicated to each register has problems: Excessive amount of logic High number of interconnections
8
MUX and Bus – based transfer for Multiple Registers
Solution to the problem : Use a shared transfer paths for registers A shared transfer object is called a bus A bus is characterized by a set of common lines, with each line driven by selection logic. Bus implementation using : Multiplexers Three – state nodes and drivers In most cases, the number of bits is the length of the receiving register
9
Multiplexer Bus Only need a single n-bit 3:1 MUX and parallel load registers. MUX outputs are shared as a common path (bus)
10
Multiplexer Bus SELECT signal LOAD signal
Determines the contents of single source register that will appear on the MUX outputs. 00 0 : R0 01 1 : R1 10 2 : R2 LOAD signal Determine the destination register / registers to be loaded with the bus data 1 2
11
Multiplexer Bus Example 1: S1, S0 = (0,0) and L0, L1, L2 = (0,0,1)
then L2 : R2 R0
12
Multiplexer Bus Example 2: S1, S0 = (1,0) and L0, L1, L2 = (1,1,0)
then L0: R R2, L1 : R1 R2
13
Multiplexer Bus Example 3: S1, S0 = (1,0) and L0, L1, L2 = (0,1,1)
then L1: R R2, L2 : R R2 (no change)
14
Multiplexer Bus A single bus driven by a MUX lowers cost, but limits the available transfers Characterize the simultaneous transfers possible with this structure… Characterize the cost savings compared to dedicated MUX…
15
Multiplexer Bus 3rd transfer : cannot be done
Requires 2 simultaneous sources (R0 and R1) on a single bus Cannot occur in 1 clock cycle This transfer requires at least 2 buses However, dedicated MUX can do this transfer
16
MUX-based vs Bus-based
Any combination of transfers is possible Bus-based Simultaneous transfers from different sources in single clock cycle is impossible Reduction in hardware Limitation in simultaneous transfers
17
Three – State Bus The 3 – input MUX can be replaced by a 3 – state node (bus) and 3 – state buffers Cost is further reduced Signals can travel in 2 directions Use same bus to carry signals into and out of registers
18
Three – State Bus LOAD signal ENABLE signal L0 : R0 L1 : R1 L2 : R2
E0 : R0 E1 : R1 E2 : R2
19
Three – State Bus A register with n lines that serve as both inputs and outputs. 3-state buffers are enabled: The n lines are OUTPUTS. 3-state buffers are disabled: The n lines are INPUTS.
