Abstract:
A method of operating a multiplexer array, comprising:applying a first input data value to the multiplexer array during a first cycle;routing a first portion of the first input data value through the multiplexer array to a first set of output terminals and routing a second portion of the first input data value through the multiplexer array to a first portion of a second set of output terminals during the first cycle;routing a predetermined voltage level to a second portion of the second set of output terminals during the first cycle;applying a second input data value to the multiplexer array during a second cycle;routing a first portion of the second input data value through the multiplexer array to a first portion of the first set of output terminals and further applying the predetermined voltage level to a second portion of the first set of output terminals during the second cycle; androuting a second portion of the second input data value through the multiplexer array to a third portion of the second set of output terminals and further applying the predetermined voltage level to a fourth portion of the second set of output terminals during the second cycle.
