DecodersDecoders• An n-to-2n decoder is a combinational logic circuit that has n inputs and

up to 2n outputs. That is, it can have 2n outputs, but it may have less. • Each output of a decoder will normally be true (i e go to logic 1) for only• Each output of a decoder will normally be true (i.e., go to logic 1) for only

one combination of the n inputs. • Consider the case of an n = 2 decoder. The decoder will have 2 inputs and

up to 2n = 22 = 4 outputs. p p• Assume that the decoder has the maximum possible number of outputs

(4). Then the truth table for the 2-input decoder will show that for each combination of y and x (00, 01, 10, 11), one of the outputs will go high (l i 1)(logic 1).

• Let us call the inputs y and x and the outputs a, b, c, and d (here, x is the more significant bit). Then let us define a = 1 for x = 0, y = 0; b = 1 for x = 0 and y = 1; c = 1 for x = 1 and y = 0 and d = 1 for x = 1 and y = 1


0 and y 1; c 1 for x 1 and y 0, and d 1 for x 1 and y 1.

Definition of a MultiplexerDefinition of a Multiplexer

• A multiplexer is a combinational logic circuit that has up to 2n

inputs, an n-bit address, and one output. • The multiplexer connects one of the inputs to the output,

depending on the value of the n-bit address.• The n-bit address is decoded, just as we have studied in the lastThe n bit address is decoded, just as we have studied in the last

five slides. • Thus the multiplexer uses a decoder and a selector circuit (which

we will see in a subsequent slide) to tie one of its inputs to its we w see subseque s de) o e o e o s pu s o soutput.

• The multiplexer is usually symbolized by the abbreviation MUX as the symbol for its function.

Differences in Decoder and MultiplexerDifferences in Decoder and Multiplexer• Decoder:

– A decoder has n inputs, which are called the address. – A decoder has up to 2n outputs (it can have that many, maximum; but it decode as up to outputs ( t ca ave t at a y, a u ; but t

might have less). Each output line is true (or 1) for a specific combinations of the input lines, called the address.

• Multiplexer:– A multiplexer has two sets of inputs: n address lines (just like the

decoder) and as many as 2n inputs, one of which is selected by each address for output (it may have less inputs).

– A multiplexer has only one output. The output is the value of the input selected by the address.

• Thus we see that a decoder makes up a part of a multiplexer.



Exercise 2Exercise 2• Let’s design a simple decoder

and multiplexer. A decoder has a three-inputA decoder has a three input address, x-z, with x = MSB, but although it may have up to 23, or 8 outputs, in this case, it has only three Output 1 is true onthree. Output 1 is true on address 3, 2 on address 6, and 3 on address 7. Design the decoder.

Now using the decoder and adding a selector circuit, design a MUX to output the inputs a-c on addresses 3, 6,


p , ,and 7, respectively.


Binary Arithmetic CircuitsBinary Arithmetic Circuits• A binary adder is a large part of a computer central processor unit

(CPU). The CPU “figuring” unit is sometimes called the ALU, or arithmetic/logic unit, (Patterson and Hennessey call it the “datapath”).

• The ALU or datapath is a combinational logic unit that can add, subtract, or do logical operations such as AND, OR, NOT, etc.

• Consider the “rules of addition” (adding two numbers only*):• Consider the rules of addition (adding two numbers only ):– Numbers are added on a columnar basis, starting on the right.– If the sum of one column is a 2-digit number, the right number goes in

current column and the left number (always a 1) becomes a “carry” to thecurrent column, and the left number (always a 1) becomes a carry to the next column to the left.

– Column addition always includes the carry from the column to the right. – The resulting sum in any column will be only a single digit.


g y y g g* A computer never adds but two numbers together at one time.


Principles of AdditionPrinciples of Addition• Decimal addition example:

“Carries” → 1 15 8 76 4 36 4 3

1 2 3 0 • Binary numbers are added in exactly the same way:

“Carries” → 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1+ 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1

(1) 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0• Basic principles for an n-column addition:

– Add column i plus carry from column i–1 (ci–1). – If a one-digit result, that number is the sum of column i, si.


– If a 2-digit result, the right digit is si. The left digit is carry i, or ci. – The column i carry, ci, will be added to column (i+1).


A “Half-Adder” CircuitA “Half-Adder” Circuit• We would now like to design a digital

adder for two binary numbers. • Since addition is done on a columnar

basis all that is necessary to add two n

a b S co S Exp co Exp0 0 0 0

basis, all that is necessary to add two n-bit numbers, is to use one binary “column adder” for each of the n bits.

• Thus, to add two 8-bit numbers, we i l i ht l dd

0 1 1 01 0 1 01 1 0 1 ab

simply use eight column adders.• First we consider a 2-bit “half-adder.”

The truth table on the right shows sum and carry bits for the 2 input bits a & b.

expression: . Likewise, carry out is defined as: The SOP representation of the 2-bit half Half-Adder Circuit

Alternate Construction of a Half-AdderAlternate Construction of a Half-Adder• We note that in a half-adder, the sum s

is expressed as:

the expression for the XOR gate.• Thus an alternate expression for s is:

The “Full Adder”The “Full Adder”• The half-adder circuit is an important step in

building a digital adder, but it is not the total solution to the binary addition problem.

• When adding binary numbers on a columnar (ci 1)(ci)

Col (i+1) Col (i) Col (i–1)

(ci 2)• When adding binary numbers on a columnar basis, in addition to the column bits, ai and bi, there is also the possibility of a carry bit, ci-1from the column to the right. Thus the 2-bit column adder must be a 3 bit adder

(ci–1)+ai

most bits of the two numbers of two numbers

could be added with a half-adder (no carry in). • However, most adder circuits use all full-

adders, since carry-in for the least significant bit can be useful; we will see that use later in

Alternate Construction of Full AdderAlternate Construction of Full Adder• We note that since we can construct

adders would be wired up so that each would add one column of two 32-bit numbers (a half-adder could be used in column 1).


SubtractionSubtraction• In the past, digital subtractors were constructed as well as digital adders.

However, it quickly became apparent that the subtraction function could be added very easily to a digital adder.

• Consider the following:Consider the following: – A 1-bit full adder produces carry out (cO) and sum (s) outputs from carry in

(ci) and numerical (a and b) inputs. • We note that , so that we can

The ALU or “Datapath”The ALU or “Datapath”

• We have already noted that the arithmetic/logical unit (ALU, or what P&H call the “datapath”) is the “calculating” unit of the computer central processor.

• The amazing thing about the ALU is that it is mostly combinational logic composed of the very logic functions that we have studied so far!

• Patterson & Hennessy discuss a simple version ALU in Chapter 4 of their book that only functions as an AND/OR/add/subtract/compare unit.

• This ALU takes the “columnar” approach we have discussed for a binary adder.

• Their 32-bit ALU (the prototype for the MIPS R2000 computer we


( p yp pwill learn to program later on) is composed of 32 of the 1-bit ALUs.

“Bit Slicing:” N 1-bit ALU’s = N-Bit Processor“Bit Slicing:” N 1-bit ALU’s = N-Bit Processor• Thirty-two of the one-bit ALU’s shown on the previous page may be

combined to form a 32-bit MIPS CPU (which we will study later). • In the 32-bit ALU, an operation is performed on all bits at once usingIn the 32 bit ALU, an operation is performed on all bits at once using

the 32 separate 1-bit ALU’s. This “slices” the data into 32 bits, which is where the name “bit slicing” comes from.

• This approach works well for AND and OR functions.This approach works well for AND and OR functions. • For add and subtract, we have to propagate carries from each lower

column to the next higher column. This means that in a 32-bit computer, we have 32 carries (the 32nd carry would be “overflow”). co pu e , we ve 3 c es ( e 3 c y wou d be ove ow ).

• All these carries/borrows are VERY time-consuming, and so some special digital “fast carry” circuits have been developed to accelerate the carry/borrow action (they are not shown on the 1-bit ALU diagram).
