OBJECTIVE:"To Study Demultiplexer"

Demultiplexer (Data Distributor)

Definition :
A DEMULTIPLEXER (DEMUX) basically reverses the multiplexing function. It takes
data from one line and distributes them to a given number of output lines. For this reason,
the demultiplexers is also known as a data distributor.

• Single data input lines

• Some select line (less than the no. of output lines)

• Several output line

If there are n data output lines and m select lines, then 2^m = n

Types of De multiplexer
De-multiplexers are classified into four types
·0 1-2 demultiplexer (1 select line)
·1 1-4 demultiplexer (2 select lines)
·2 1-8 demultiplexer (3 select lines)
 ·3 1-16 demultiplexer (4 select lines)

1-4 demultiplexer :
The 1 to 4 demultiplexer consists of one input, four outputs, and two control lines to
make selections The below diagram shows the circuit of 1 to 4 demultiplexer.

1 to 4 Demultiplexer
The input bit is Data D with two select lines A and B. The input bit D is transmitted to
four output bits Y0, Y1, Y2, and Y4.
When AB is 01 The upper second AND gate is enabled while the other AND gate is
disabled. Thus, only one data is transmitted at Y1. If D is low, then Y1 is low and if D is
high, Y1 is high. The value of Y1 depends on the value of D.
If the control input changes to AB=10 all the gates are disabled except the third AND gate
from the top. Then D is transmitted to output Y2.

Applications of De multiplexer
De multiplexers are used to connect a single source to multiple destinations. These
applications include the following:

Communication System
Mux and demux both are used in communication system to carry out the process of data
transmission. A De-multiplexer receives the output signals from the multiplexer and at
the receiver end it converts them back to the original form.

Arithmetic Logic Unit

The output of the ALU is fed as an input to the De-multiplexer, and the output of the
demultiplexer is connected to a multiple register. The output of the ALU can be stored in
multiple registers.

Serial to Parallel Converter

This converter is used to reconstruct parallel data. In this technique, serial data is given as
an input to the De-multiplexer at a regular interval, and a counter is attached to the
demultiplexer at the control input to detect the data signal at the output of the
demultiplexer. When all data signals are stored, the output of the demux can be read out
in parallel.
