what is multiplexer and demultiplexer
The data distributor, known more commonly as a Demultiplexer or âDemuxâ for short, is the exact opposite of the Multiplexer we saw in the previous tutorial. The demultiplexer takes one single input data line and then switches it to any one of a number of individual output lines one at a time.
In electronics, a multiplexer (or mux) is a device that selects one of several analog or digital input signals and forwards the selected input into a single line. A multiplexer of 2 inputs has n select lines, which are used to select which input line to send to the output.
