A multiplexer (also known as a "mux") is a digital circuit that allows multiple

input signals to be combined and transmitted over a single output signal. It is


made up of several input lines, a set of select lines, and a single output line.

The multiplexer selects which input signal to transmit based on the value of the
select lines. Each input line is assigned a unique combination of values for the
select lines, and when that combination of values is applied to the select lines,
the corresponding input signal is transmitted to the output line.

For example, consider a 2-to-1 multiplexer with two input lines (A and B) and one
select line (S). If S is set to "0," the multiplexer will transmit the signal on
input line A to the output line. If S is set to "1," the multiplexer will transmit
the signal on input line B to the output line.

Multiplexers are used in a variety of applications, including data transmission,


data selection, and signal routing. They are an important component of digital
circuits and are widely used in computers and other electronic devices.
