Decoders in Multiplexers

AND gates and inverters in multiplexer resemble a decoder circuit.

2n - to – 1 line MUX is constructed from n-to- 2n decoder by adding 2n input lines.

MUX blocks can be combined in parallel with common selection & enable lines.

Quadruple 2-to-1 Line Multiplexer

4 multiplexers Each capable of selecting one of two

input lines. 1A 1Y 1B Input selection line S selects one of

lines in each of four MUXs. Enable input E must be active for

normal operations.

Demultiplexer

Inverse of MUX

Demultiplexer receives information from a single line and transmits it to one of 2n possible output lines.

Selection of specific output is controlled by bit combination of n selection lines.

Demultiplexer

Identical to 2-to 4 line decoder with enable output.
