Question 1

What is the purpose of cascading multiplexers?

To combine outputs
To manage more inputs than one multiplexer can handle
To reduce power consumption

💡 Hint: Consider why we would need more than one multiplexer's capability.

Question 2

True or False: The number of multiplexers needed can be calculated with the formula 2^n - N.

True
False

💡 Hint: Remember the variables represent desired and available inputs.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You have a scenario where you need to design a multiplexer handling 64 inputs. How would you approach cascading this solution using 16-to-1 multiplexers?

💡 Hint: Think about what the cascading design entails.

Challenge 2 Hard

Reflect on what happens when multiple multiplexers are enabled at once. Why is this undesired?

💡 Hint: How does the enable function tie into this?
