Abstract:
A buffered multiplexer includes a multiplexer having N multiplexer inputs each input selectively coupleable to a single multiplexer output. A non-inverting buffer has an input coupled to the multiplexer output and an output forming the output node of the buffered multiplexer. At least one vertical resistor is coupled between the input and the output of the non-inverting buffer.

Claim (Index 16):
In a multiplexer having a plurality of data inputs selectively coupleable to a data output, a method for preventing the output of the mutiplexer from assuming an undetermined state when none of the data inputs have been selected, the method comprising:\n connecting a non-inverting buffer between the data output of the multiplexer and an output node of the multiplexer coupling the output of the non-inverting buffer; and coupling a vertical resistor between the input of the non-inverting buffer and the output of the non-inverting buffer, the vertical resistor having a resistance that is low enough to force the output of the multiplexer at the input of non-inverting buffer to assume the state of the output of the non-inverting buffer portion, the resistance being high enough to prevent a time delay impact on the speed of the multiplexer when the signal passed through from one of its inputs has to force the input of the non-inverting buffer to a desired logic level.
