What we have learnt
- Multiplexers select binary data from multiple inputs based on selection lines and pass them to a single output.
- Demultiplexers perform the reverse operation of multiplexers by routing data from one input to multiple outputs.
- Multiplexers can implement Boolean functions, aiding in the design of complex logic circuits.
Key Concepts
- -- Multiplexer (MUX)
- A combinational circuit that selects one of many data inputs and forwards the selected input to a single output line.
- -- Demultiplexer (DEMUX)
- A combinational circuit that takes a single input and channels it to one of several outputs based on selection lines.
- -- ENABLE Input
- Control input used in multiplexers and demultiplexers to enable or disable the device operation.
- -- Boolean Function Implementation
- The process of using multiplexers to realize a specific logical function through the configuration of their input lines according to the function's truth table.
