what is multiplexer
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The term Multiplexer which is also commonly called as “MUX” or “MPX” refers to selecting one output of the many available inputs. Professor Shankar Balachandran (IIT-M) explains multiplexing as the method of transmitting a large number of information units over a small number of channels or lines and a Digital Multiplexer is a combinational Logic circuit that selects binary information from one of the many input lines and directs it to a single output line.
In this article, we will learn how these Multiplexers work, how to design one for our project and also try out a practical example on a breadboard to check the working on the Hardware.
Basics of Multiplexers:
The best way to understand Multiplexers is by looking at a single pole multi-positioned as shown below. Here the switch has multiple inputs D0, D1, D2 and D3 but it has only one Output (Out) pin. The Control knob is used to select one of the four available data and this data will be reflected on the output side. This way the user can select the required the signal among many available signals.
Answer:
An mulitplexer ,also known as a data selector is a device that selects between serval analog input signals.
hope this helps.
