What is the difference between multiplexer and multiplexing?

As against demultiplexer also known as DEMUX simply reverses the operation of MUX and operates on single input but transmits the data to multiple outputs….Comparison chart.

Parameter	Multiplexer	Demultiplexer
Conversion technique	It performs parallel to serial conversion.	It performs serial to parallel conversion.

What is meant by multiplexer?

In electronics, a multiplexer (or mux; spelled sometimes as multiplexor), also known as a data selector, is a device that selects between several analog or digital input signals and forwards the selected input to a single output line. The selection is directed by a separate set of digital inputs known as select lines.

What is difference between latch and buffer?

A latch is a digital IC which holds the data put into it, 1 or 0, until cleared. An analog sample and hold performs a similar function in that it holds an analog value upon command until cleared. A buffer is either analog or digital, and it increases the power of the input signal without changing the value.

What is the example of multiplexer?

An example of 4-to-1 multiplexer is IC 74153 in which the output is same as the input. Another example of 4-to-1 multiplexer is 45352 in which the output is the compliment of the input.

Where do we use multiplexer?

Multiplexers are used in various applications wherein multiple-data need to be transmitted by using a single line.

• Communication System.
• Computer Memory.
• Telephone Network.
• Transmission from the Computer System of a Satellite.
• Communication System.
• Arithmetic Logic Unit.
• Serial to Parallel Converter.
• Photo Credits.

Why buffers are used in microprocessor?

Address and data buffers are used for bidirectional data transfer. They perform the unidirectional data transfer when they send out the Least Significant Byte of the address. These buffers are only used for increasing the driving capacity of the current. Through the internal bus data goes to the buffers.
