Study Notes
Multiplexers
- A multiplexer is a combinational circuit that has many inputs and a single output
- For N inputs, logâ‚‚(N) selection lines are needed
- Also known as an N-to-1 selector, parallel-to-serial converter, many-to-one circuit, or universal logic circuit
- Used to increase the amount of data sent over a network in a certain time and bandwidth
- Multiplexers can act as universal combinational circuits
- All standard logic gates can be implemented with multiplexers
4x1 Multiplexer
- Also known as a 4-to-1 multiplexer
- Has 4 inputs and a single output
- The output is selected from one of the 4 inputs based on the selection lines
- The number of selection lines depends on the number of inputs (determined by logâ‚‚n)
- In a 4x1 Mux, logâ‚„ = 2, so two selection lines are needed
Multiplexer Operation
- The output of the multiplexer is determined by the binary value of the selection lines
- When S1S0 = 00, input 10 is selected
- When S1S0 = 01, input 11 is selected
- When S1S0 = 10, input 12 is selected
- When S1S0 = 11, input 13 is selected
Truth Table (4x1 Multiplexer)
| SO | S1 | Y |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 10 |
| 0 | 1 | 11 |
| 1 | 0 | 12 |
| 1 | 1 | 13 |
- Final equation: Y = SO'.S1'.I0 + SO'.S1.I1 + SO.S1'.I2 + SO.S1.I3
Demultiplexers (DEMUX)
- A digital information processor
- Takes input from one source and converts it to several output sources
- Has one input line and multiple output lines
- Selection lines determine to which output the input is sent
- The number of selection lines determines the number of output lines
1x4 Demultiplexer
- Has one input (I)
- Two selection lines (S1 and S0)
- Four output lines (Y3, Y2, Y1, Y0)
Advantages of DEMUX
- Increases the efficiency of a communication system by separating signals from mixed sources and distributing them to different sources
- Can decode the signal outputs of a multiplexer (works in reverse)
Disadvantages of DEMUX
- Can cause bandwidth wastage as channels can overlap, leading to signal loss
- Can cause synchronization problems due to signal overlap causing delays
Applications of DEMUX
- Used in ALU circuits and parallel data segments
- Converts MUX outputs to actual inputs (receiver end)
- Used for communication process verification
- Saves the output to ALU, registers, and storage units
Multiplexer vs. Demultiplexer
| Feature | Multiplexer | Demultiplexer |
|---|---|---|
| Function | Combines multiple inputs into one output | Distributes one input to multiple outputs |
| Input | Multiple input lines | Single input line |
| Output | Single output line | Multiple output lines |
| Selection Lines | Determine which input is selected | Determine which output receives the input |
| Operational Principle | Many-to-one | One-to-many |
- Time division multiplexing uses multiplexers at the transmitter end and demultiplexers at the receiver end
