    Study Notes

    Multiplexers and Demultiplexers

    • A demultiplexer is a circuit that takes a single input signal and routes it to one of several outputs based on a select input.
    • A demultiplexer differs from a multiplexer in that it has one input and multiple outputs, whereas a multiplexer has multiple inputs and one output.
    • Another name for a demultiplexer is a data distributor.

    Combinational Logic Circuits

    • A demultiplexer is a type of combinational logic circuit.
    • Combinational logic circuits are built from individual logic gates.
    • Examples of combinational circuits include decoders, multiplexers, and demultiplexers.

    Multiplexers

    • A multiplexer is the reverse of a demultiplexer.
    • A multiplexer is also known as a data selector because it selects one of several input signals and routes it to a single output.
    • Multiplexers can be constructed using transistors, MOSFETs, or relays.
    • The advantage of using a multiplexer with a demultiplexer in data transmission is that it allows for the transmission of multiple signals over a single communication channel.
    • The maximum switching current in analogue power circuits for multiplexers is 150mA.

    Logic Gates and Circuits

    • Logic gates are the building blocks of combinational logic circuits.
    • The three main ways of specifying the function of a combinational logic circuit are by using a truth table, a logic diagram, or a Boolean equation.
    • NAND and NOR gates are considered 'universal' gates because they can be used to create any other type of gate.
    • A decoder is a type of combinational circuit that takes a binary input and generates a output based on the input.

    Truth Tables and Logic Diagrams

    • A truth table is used to specify the output of a logic circuit for every possible combination of input values.
    • A logic diagram is a graphical representation of a logic circuit.
