Write advantages and disadvantages of MUX & DEMUX
Answers
Answer:
Advantages of MUX:
1] It reduces ckt complexity and cost.
2] We can implement many combinations logic ckts using multiplexer.
3] It does not need K-maps and simplification.
4] On the advance level the ability of MUX to switch directed s/g can be extended to smter video. s/g, audio s/g, etc.
Disadvantages of MUX:
1] Added delays in switching ports.
2] Limitations on which ports can be used simultaneously.
3] Extra IO many require to control multiplexer.
4] Added delays in I/O signals propagating through the multiplexer.
Advantages of DEMUX:
Transmission of Audio/Video signals requires combination of Multiplexers and Demultiplexers.
They are also used as decoders in security systems like banking sectors.
Combination of Demuxes with Muxes increases the efficiency of the communication system.
Disadvantages of DEMUX:
Wastage of Bandwidth might occur.
Delays might occur due to synchronization of signals.
