TDM Demultiplexer
OBJECTIVES:
(a) To Understanding TDM De-Multiplexer.
(b) To implement TDM De-Multiplexer.

TOOLS:
1 ETEK ACS-3000-05
2 Digital Oscilloscope
3 Function Generator

THEORY:
In previous lab, we utilized the theory of sampling and the segment of time to divide the time of the
transmission channel into several time slots. There is small gap between each time slots, which is
known as guard time and it is used to prevent the interference between the symbol and jitter of the
demultiplexer. Therefore, we can utilize the pulse at a certain period to process different numbers of
channels. On the other hand, according to the synchronous signal at the transmitter, the receiver can
also separate the signals of different channels accurately. The concept of TDM can be applied in data
communication system, which is known as packet switching. Therefore, for every time slot in packet
switching, the transmitted data is not a symbol but is an independent packet.

Figure 9B-1 is the example of simple TDM system. The four channels use switch to change to different
channels and the switch represent the synchronous signal as shown in the sequence in figure 9B-2.
When S1 and S2 rotated, the signal at the transmission path can be transmitted repeatedly and the
receiver can also utilize synchronous signal to separate the signal. Practically, the switch is comprised
by transistor, FET or IC. For example, in TDM multiplexer, the switch is implemented by using the
analog switch CD 4066. 68

The Implementation of TDM Demultiplexer

In lab-11, we utilize the timer (NE 555) and counter (CD 4017) to generator the sampling signal and
then by using the analog signal (CD 4066) to complete the TDM multiplexer. When the counter counts
to a certain channel, that channel will be ON; therefore, the signal at the input port will occur at the
output port. Similarly, for TDM demultiplexer, we also utilize the timer (NE 555) and the counter (CD
4017) to implement the sampling signal generator as shown in figure 9B-2. The operation time of NE
555 is: T = 0.77 (100k+2*10k*100n)
The output of CD 4017 is shown in figure 9B-3. When the counter counts to Q3, the CD4017
will reset and star to count form Q0. Thus, this circuit is just similar to the three signals in the TDM
multiplexer. Therefore, we just need to obtain the synchronous signals, and then we can recover the
original signal.
Figure 9B-4 is the circuit diagram of TDM demultiplexer. When TDM signal inputs by matching with
the synchronous signal generator, then we can obtain the input sequences, which are the triangle, square
and sinusoidal waveforms.
