Exploring Multiplexers in Digital Electronics

What is the primary function of a multiplexer?

• To select one of multiple input signals and route it to a single output.

• To amplify a single input signal for better transmission.

• To split a single input signal into multiple outputs.

• To convert analog signals into digital signals.

How many input lines does a 4-to-1 multiplexer have?

• 2

• 16

• 4

• 8

What is the output of a multiplexer when all select lines are low?

• The output is the value of the last input (In).

• The output is always zero regardless of inputs.

• The output is the value of the second input (I1).

• The output is the value of the first input (I0).

Explain the difference between a multiplexer and a demultiplexer.

• A multiplexer sends one input to multiple outputs, while a demultiplexer combines multiple inputs into one output.

• A multiplexer is used for signal amplification, while a demultiplexer is used for signal filtering.

• A multiplexer and a demultiplexer are the same device with no functional differences.

• A multiplexer combines multiple inputs into one output, while a demultiplexer distributes one input to multiple outputs.

What is the role of select lines in a multiplexer?

• Select lines determine the output voltage level.

• Select lines are used for data storage in memory.

• Select lines control the input selection in a multiplexer.

• Select lines provide power to the multiplexer.

How can multiplexers be used in data routing?

• Multiplexers convert analog signals to digital.

• Multiplexers route data by selecting and forwarding one of multiple input signals to a single output.

• Multiplexers are used to amplify signals.

• Multiplexers can only store data temporarily.

What is the truth table for a 2-to-1 multiplexer?

Describe the concept of 'data selection' in multiplexers.

• Data selection in multiplexers is the process of choosing one input from multiple inputs based on select lines.

• Data selection in multiplexers is the technique of filtering out unwanted inputs before processing.

• Data selection in multiplexers refers to the method of amplifying signals from multiple sources.

• Data selection in multiplexers is the process of combining all inputs into one output.

What are the advantages of using multiplexers in digital circuits?

• Simplified circuit layout

• Advantages of using multiplexers include reduced wiring complexity, efficient data routing, and improved circuit design flexibility.

• Limited data selection capabilities

• Increased power consumption

How can you implement a multiplexer using basic logic gates?

• A multiplexer requires only a single NAND gate to function properly.

• A multiplexer can be implemented using AND gates for each input, controlled by select lines, and an OR gate to combine the outputs.

• A multiplexer can be implemented using a series of flip-flops without any logic gates.

• A multiplexer can be built using only NOT gates to invert the inputs.
