Multiplexers
● A multiplexer has
− N control inputs
− 2N data inputs
− 1 output
● A multiplexer routes (or connects) the selected
data input to the output.
− The value of the control inputs determines
the data input that is selected.

Multiplexer (Data Selectors)
The term Multiplexer means many into one.
Multiplexing is the process of transmitting a large number of
information over a single line.
A Digital Multiplexer (MUX) is a combinational Circuit that select
one digital information from several sources and transmits the
selected information on a single output line.
A Multiplexer is also called a Data Selector.
The Multiplexer has several data input line and a single output
line.
Cont.
MUX directs one of the inputs to its output line by using a control
bit word (selection line) to its select lines.
Multiplexer contains the followings:
❖ data inputs
❖ selection inputs
❖ a single output
Selection input determines the input that should be connected to
the output.
The multiplexer acts like an electronic switch that selects one
from different.
8-1 Multiplexer Circuit
De-Multiplexer
The De-Multiplexer is a combinational logic circuit that
performs the reverse operation of multiplexer (Several
output lines, one input line).
De -Multiplexer means one to many. A De-Multiplexer is a
circuit with one input and many output. By applying control
signal, we can steer any input to the output. Few types of De
-Multiplexer are 1-to 2, 1-to-4, 1-to-8 and 1-to 16 De
-Multiplexer .
De-Multiplexer is the process of taking information from
one input and transmitting the same over one of several
outputs.

Applications of Multiplexer
Communication system – Communication system is a
set of system that enable communication like transmission system,
relay and tributary station, and communication network. The
efficiency of communication system can be increased considerably
using multiplexer. Multiplexer allow the process of transmitting
different type of data such as audio, video at the same time using a
single transmission line.
Computer Memory – A Multiplexer is used in computer
memory to keep up a vast amount of memory in the computers, and
also to decrease the number of copper lines necessary to connect the
memory to other parts of the computer.
Applications of De-Multiplexer
Communication System - Communication system use
multiplexer to carry multiple data like audio, video and other form of
data using a single line for transmission. This process make the
transmission easier. The demultiplexer receive the output signals of
the multiplexer and converts them back to the original form of the
data at the receiving end. The multiplexer and demultiplexer work
together to carry out the process of transmission and reception of data
in communication system.
