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.
