In this article we will be going through the Various Applications of MUX, we will start our article with the introduction of mux, then we will see it working and after that, we will go through its various applications, At last, we will conclude our articles with some faqs. Table of Content What is MUX?MUX also called multiplexer is a combinational circuit that generates only one output when 2n inputs are provided to it. It is also called as many to one circuit as it selects one output from 2n inputs with the help of n selection lines. The multiplexer is represented as 2n: 1 MUX. MUX SymbolThe MUX takes 2n inputs and gives 1 output using n number of selection lines. Below is the logic symbol for 2n:1 MUX. ![]() MUX Symbol Truth Table for MUXBelow table represent 4:1 MUX with its Equations ![]() Truth Table for MUX Logic DiagramThe Logic Diagram of MUX can be given as ![]() Logic Diagram of MUX Applications of MUXMUX i.e., multiplexer has many applications in different fields. Some of these applications are listed below.
Implementation of Digital CircuitsMUX is used to implement various digital circuits like adders, subtractors, logic gates etc. We can construct any digital circuit using MUX. The MUX can implement various digital circuits like different logic gates, combinational circuits like full adder, half adder, full subtractor, full adders etc. It works as a universal circuit which can implement all the other digital circuits. Below diagram represents the implementation of AND gate using MUX which gives output Y = AB. ![]() Implementation of Digital Circuits Control UnitThe control unit uses the MUX selection in the sequencers and generators. The MUX selects the ways in which the next address can be generated to get the address of next microinstruction. Below diagram represents the applications of MUX in the control unit. ![]() Control Unit Parallel to Serial Data ConversionMUX converts the parallel data transmission to serial data transmission. It selects on parallel input and transfers it converting the parallel data to serial data. Below diagram represents the application of MUX in parallel to serial data converter. ![]() Parallel to Serial Data Conversion Data RoutingMUX is used in data routing to select one path among the different paths. The MUX selects one path among data routing paths through which the data can be passed so that it can reach to its desired destination. The below diagram represents the application of MUX in data routing. ![]() Data Routing Telecommunication SystemsIn communication systems MUX is used to convert many signals to one signal and then passes it through the transmission channel. MUX selects one signal and transfers it to the transmission channel. In the telecommunication system the MUX are used in senders side to send multiple data using the single line and links of less bandwidth. Below diagram represents the application of MUX in communication systems. ![]() Telecommunication Systems Control SystemsIn control systems the multiplexer selects one output from the number of inputs. The multiplexers are used in control system for signal routing, data consolidation, for providing flexibility and improving the space and cost efficiency. Signal routing uses MUX for directing multiple signal from multiple sources to a particular destination. It is used when only one signal control unit has to recognize multiple sensors. The MUX makes it easier for the control system to process data. It reduces the number of wires needed for multiple inputs which makes the control system cost and space efficient. The MUX provides the flexibility in control system design and provides easy changes in the circuit. Advantages and Disadvantages of MUXMUX has several advantages and disadvantages. Some advantages and disadvantages of MUX are listed below. Advantages of MUXSome advantages of MUX are:
Disadvantages of MUXSome disadvantages of MUX are:
Examples of MUXFind the output of given MUX. Table for given MUX
f(A, B, C) = AB’C’ + A’ B’C + BC’ How many 2:1 MUX is Required to Implement 8:1 MUX? The total number of 2:1 mux required to implement 4:1 MUX = 4 + 2 + 1 The total number of 2:1 mux required to implement 4:1 MUX = 7 ConclusionIn this Article we have gone through the Applications of MUX, we have started our article with the introduction and seen its truth table and logic diagram with its equation, at last we can conclude that the MUX has its applications in different fields like computers, communication systems, data routing and many more.
