A multiplexer IC is an IC that outputs multiple signals as a single signal, and is also called a MUX, multiplexer, multiplexing device, multiplexer, or multiplexer. In digital circuits, the multiplexer IC is represented as rectangles or trapezoids with a large ratio of length to width, with inputs on the long side and outputs on the short side. Several multiplexer ICs can be combined to increase the number of inputs. In the field of telecommunications, it is often used to transmit data from multiple signals as a single composite wave. On the receiving side, a demultiplexer corresponding to the multiplexer is required to break up the signal of the composite wave into multiple signals so that the signals can be read. A multiplexer and demultiplexer combined into one is also sometimes called a multiplexer.
Multiplexer ICs are used in the field of communications, computer circuits, and signal synthesis in analog circuits. In the field of communications, multiplexer ICs are used in satellite signal transmitters, Wi-Fi routers, remote-controlled robots, drone operations, and other applications. When selecting multiplexer ICs, the size, supported signals, voltage and package options should be considered.
A multiplexer ICs consists of several input pins and one output pin; with N inputs, a signal can be processed as one output to the power of two. The mechanism is that there are as many switches as there are signal inputs, and the signals are combined by combining 0 and 1 signals. 8-input multiplexers, for example, have 8 data inputs and 3 signal selection switches, making it possible to represent 8 inputs of data in 3-digit binary numbers.
Some multiplexer ICs include IC chips with capacitor and coil functions to provide additional protection against power off, overvoltage, and short circuits. Products are also available that incorporate optimal amplifiers and filters to provide high-precision signal transmission.
