objective
• demonstrate basic Multiplexer system
• demonstrate Demultiplexer system
• different types of multiplexers and
demultiplexers.
Multiplexer
The term Multiplexer means many into one.
Multiplexing is the process of transmitting a large number of
information over a single line.
A Digital Multiplexer (MUX) is a combinational circuit that selects one
digital information from several sources and transmits the selected
information on a single output line.
A Multiplexer is also called a Data Selector.
The Multiplexer has several data input lines and a single output line.
MUX directs one of the inputs to its output line
by using a control bit word (selection line) to its
select lines.
Multiplexer contains the following:
data inputs
selection inputs
a single output
The selection input determines the input that
should be connected to the output.
The multiplexer acts like an electronic switch
that selects one from different.

De-multiplexer
The De-Multiplexer is a combinational logic circuit that performs the
reverse operation of a multiplexer (Several output lines, one input
line).
De -Multiplexer means one to many. A De-Multiplexer is a circuit
with one input and many outputs. By applying a control signal, we
can steer any input to the output. A few types of De -Multiplexer are
1-to-2, 1-to-4, 1-to-8, and 1-to 16 De -Multiplexer.
De-multiplexer is the process of taking information from one input
and transmitting the same over one of several outputs.
Applications of De-multiplexer
Communication System - Communication systems use
multiplexers to carry multiple data like audio, video, and other
forms of data using a single line for transmission. This process
makes the transmission easier. The demultiplexer receives the
output signals of the multiplexer and converts them back to the
original form of the data at the receiving end. The multiplexer and
demultiplexer work together to carry out the process of
transmission and reception of data in a communication system.
Applications of multiplexer
Communication system – A communication system is a set of systems
that enable communication like a transmission system, relay and tributary
station, and communication network. The efficiency of the
communication system can be increased considerably using multiplexers.
Multiplexers allow the process of transmitting different types of data
such as audio, video at the same time using a single transmission line.
Computer Memory – A Multiplexer is used in computer memory to
keep up a vast amount of memory in the computers, and also to decrease
the number of copper lines necessary to connect the memory to other
parts of the computer.
