Debug 8:1 MUX Function Generator

MediumLogic CircuitDebug

An 8:1 multiplexer acts as a universal logic gate to implement a 3-input majority voter circuit. The circuit outputs 1 when two or more of its inputs A, B, and C are 1.

Expected behavior:

| A | B | C | Y | |-----|-----|-----|-----| | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |

Simulation shows Y = 0 for input combination A=1, B=0, C=1. The output is incorrect for this specific test case while all other combinations pass. Inspect the circuit and correct the fault.

Constraints

  • Do not replace the multiplexer component.
  • Only modify the logic level connections feeding into the multiplexer data ports.
  • The select lines mapping A, B, and C must remain unchanged.
