Based on the set bits appropriate set circuitry is activated and the tag bits are fed into their respective 4bits-comparators in parallel along with the TAG bits from the address; The result from all comparators goes through a multi-input OR gate to denote hit/miss.

Number of comparators = no of lines in a set. (N way set associative will have N comparators)

Number of Multiplexers in parallel = No of bits in TAG field.
