Consider the following statements:  A multiplexer (a) Selects one of the several inputs and transmits it to a single output (b) Routes the data from a single input to many outputs (c) Converts parallel data into serial data (d) Is a combinational circuit Which of these statements are correct? Correct Answer (a), (c) and (d) only

  • A multiplexer is Many to one data selector.
  • A multiplexer selects one of the many data available at its input depending on the bits on the select line.
  • For 2n inputs, there are n select lines that determine, which input is to be connected to the output.

 

A multiplexer is used for Parallel to serial data conversion with the help of a counter as shown:

  • The Q-outputs of the modulus-8 counter is connected to the data select inputs of an 8- multiplexer.
  • The first byte (8-bit) of parallel data is applied to the multiplexer inputs.
  • As the counter goes through a binary sequence from 0 to 7, each bit beginning with D0 is sequentially selected and passed through the multiplexer to the output line.
  • After 8 clock pulses, the data byte is converted to a serial format and sent out on the transmission line.

Assertion (A) : A multiplexer (MUX) is a device which selects one of the many inputs to a single output. Reason (R): A digital multiplexer is a sequential circuit that selects binary information from one of the many input line sand directs it to a single output line
Statement (I): The multiplexer is essentially an electronic switching device which enables each of the inputs to be sampled in turn. Statement (II): A multiplexer is a circuit that is able to have inputs of data from a number of sources and then, by selecting an input channel, gives an output from just one of them.
