VHDL Code For 8:1 multiplexer

Multiplexer is simply a data selector.It has multiple inputs and one output.Any one of the input line is transferred to output depending on the control signal.

This type of operation is usually referred as multiplexing .In 8:1 multiplexer ,there are 8 inputs.Any of these inputs are transferring to output ,which depends on the control signal.For 8 inputs we need ,3 bit wide control signal .

Working:If control signal is "000" ,then the first input is transferring to output line.If control signal is "111",then the last input is transferring
to output.Similarly for all values of control signals.A simple block diagram of 8:1 multiplexer is shown here.

Now see the VHDL code of 8:1 multiplexer
