Question

The minimized expression of the Boolean function Y(P, Q, R) implemented by the multiplexer (MUX) circuit shown in the figure is

The correct answer is
$Y = R + (P \oplus Q)$

The given problem involves a multiplexer (MUX) circuit implementing a Boolean function Y(P, Q, R). We need to determine the minimized expression for this function.

MUX Circuit

Let's analyze the MUX circuit step-by-step:

  1. The first MUX selects inputs based on the select lines P and Q (represented as S_1 and S_0 respectively).
  2. The inputs to this MUX are 0, 1, 1, and 0, corresponding to 00, 01, 10, and 11 select line combinations.
  3. This implements the function P \oplus Q (XOR gate), since:
    • When P = 0 and Q = 0 or P = 1 and Q = 1, the output is 0.
    • When P = 0 and Q = 1 or P = 1 and Q = 0, the output is 1.
  4. The second MUX uses the output of the first MUX and select line R.
  5. The second MUX outputs a logical function based on:
    • When R = 0, the output is the result from the first MUX, which is P \oplus Q.
    • When R = 1, the output is 1.
    • Effectively, the second MUX implements a logical OR operation: R + (P \oplus Q).

Thus, the minimized expression of the Boolean function is:

Y = R + (P \oplus Q)

Therefore, the correct answer is:

Y = R + (P \oplus Q)
