Computing Fundamentals Tutor Multiplex 01: 1-Bit 2-Way

This video shows the creation of a simulated 1-bit 2-way multiplexer.

It is one of a series on multiplexers, digital circuits which allow the switching of binary signals to a number of destinations, using a binary number to select the destination. They are a useful component of many digital devices. In this video, the simplest multiplexer is created, a 1-Bit 2-Way MUX.

This series in turn is part of a larger series that charts the creation of a simulated 4-Bit CPU, with clear explanations of what is happening at every step of the way. Following this Super-Series is a great way to gain a strong understanding of the hardware that underpins computers, and is a great learning experience for anyone interested in computing as a career or hobby.

Roadmap:

Understanding the basics of digital electronics is fundamental to the understanding of computer hardware, and this software allows you to explore that without the need for hardware, soldering irons and the such like.
