Applications of Multiplexer
• Signal routing
• Data communications (Time Division Multiplexing)
• Data bus control
Advantage of Multiplexer
• Only one serial data line is required instead of
multiple parallel data lines.
Demultiplexer
• A demultiplexer is a circuit that receives information
on a single line and transmits this information on
one of the 2n possible output lines.
• Reverse of the Multiplexer
• 1 input line
• 2n output lines
• n selection lines: combinations determine which
output line is selected.
• Demultiplexers are also known as serial to parallel
convertor, Data Distributor and one to many
circuit.
• often abbreviated as Demux.
1-to-4-line Demultiplexer
• Output lines = 4
• Selection lines = 2 A B Y
