Multiplexing and decoding are two different concepts, though they may look similar. The demultiplexer converts a serial data signal at the input to a parallel data at its output. As an example of using several circuits together, we are going to make a device that will have 16 inputs, representing a fourdigit number, to a fourdigit 7segment display but using just one binaryto7segment encoder. A decoder can be described as a logic circuit with many inputs and many outputs, whereas a demultiplexer is a combination circuit that has one input and several outputs.

We know that 4x1 multiplexer has 4 data inputs, 2 selection lines and one output. The value of the control inputs determines the data input that is selected. Compare a decoder and a demultiplexer with block diagram. In electronics, a multiplexer or mux is a device that selects one of several analog or digital input signals and forwards the selected input into a single line. Page 2 outline introduction multiplexers and demultiplexers. The simplest encoder is a 2nton binary encoder, where it has only one of 2n inputs 1 and the output is the nbit binary number corresponding to the active input. With the use of a demultiplexer, the binary data can be bypassed to one of its many output data lines. Multiplexers are equated with 2to1, 4to1, 8to1 or combination of inputs, then decoder which is equated with 2.
Combinational logic circuits are defined by the logical function. An encoder is a device which converts information from one format or code to other format or code. Although they appear similar, they certainly perform di. When w1 the operation is reversed and the lower decoder is. Encoder decoder and multiplexer electrical engineering. A demultiplexer, sometimes abbreviated dmux, is a circuit that has one input and more than one output. Sn74ls8 1of8 decoder demultiplexer the lsttlmsi sn74ls8 is a high speed 1of8 decoder demultiplexer. As inverse to the mux, demux is a onetomany circuit. In this project, we will show how to connect an 74hc238 3to8 decoderdemultiplexer to an arduino micrcocontroller.
Introduction to digital systems 9 standard combinational modules. A multiplexer is a circuit that accept many input but give only one output. In this way, multiple audio signals can be isolated and eventually, the desire audio signals reach the intended recipients. The in74hct9a may be used as a level converter for interfacing ttl or nmos outputs to high speed cmos inputs. So we can use activelow decoders to implement arbitrary functions too, but as a product of maxterms. The data distributor, known more commonly as a demultiplexer or demux for short, is the exact opposite of the multiplexer we saw in the previous tutorial the demultiplexer takes one single input data line and then switches it to any one of a number of individual output lines one at a time.
Difference between multiplexer and decoder difference. Dual 2line to 4line decodersdemultiplexers datasheet. Computer engineering assignment help, compare a decoder and a demultiplexer with block diagram, compare a decoder and a demultiplexer with suitable block diagrams. Spring 2011 ece 331 digital system design 3 multiplexers a multiplexer has 2n data inputs n control inputs 1 output a multiplexer routes or connects the selected data input to the output. The action or operation of a demultiplexer is opposite to that of the multiplexer. Using this decoderdemultiplexer, we can control 8 outputs with just 3 pins. Telephone network in telephone network, multiple audio signals are integrated on a single line for transmission with the help of multiplexers. Smaller decoders with enable lines can be used to build bigger decoders. Demultiplexers chapter 9 combinational logic functions pdf version. Input w is used as enable line, when w0, the upper decoder is enabled so, outputs d 0 to d 7 are available, while d 8 to d15 are all zeros. Generally multiplexer and demultiplexer are used together, because of the communication systems are bi directional. Dual 1of4 decoder demultiplexer the lsttlmsi sn5474ls9 is a high speed dual 1of4 decoderdemultiplexer. To understand the demultiplexer and decoders the concept of combinational circuits must be clear.
This is the reason decoderdemultiplexer chips are great additions to microcontrollers. A demultiplexer function exactly in the reverse of a multiplexer, that is a demultiplexer accepts only one input and gives many outputs. Decoders and multiplexers decoders a decoder is a circuit which has n inputs and 2 n outputs, and outputs 1 on the wire corresponding to the binary number represented by the inputs. Demultiplexer has similar circuit as decoder but here e is obtained as the particular input line, the output lines are similar as decoder that is max 2 n. The outputs of upper 1x4 demultiplexer are y 7 to y 4 and the outputs of lower 1x4 demultiplexer are y 3 to y 0.
Multiplexers also generate speed of data transmission over a period of time and decoders distribute them on various network systems. As a demultiplexer, data at input e is routed to either y0 or y1 depending on the state of a. Q 1 consider the multiplexer based logic circuit shown in the figure. What is the difference between a multiplexer and a decoder. When the output enable e is low, the device passes data at input a to outputs y0 true and y1 complement.

When a line on the encoder is taken high, it will create a data stream that is sent to the decoder. To design, simulate and implement a multiplexer mux theory. The decoder will interpret the data stream and take a corresponding data. Multiplexing is the process by which the output at any time shall be any one of the 2n inputs possible. The device has two independent decoders, each accepting two inputs and providing four mutually exclusive active low outputs. This article explains different types of demultiplexers.

The decoder circuit the following circuit generates all four minterms from two inputs, and implements the 24 decoder. Cd4555b and cd4556b are dual oneoffour decodersdemultiplexers. Computer memory multiplexers are used to implement huge amount of memory into the computer, at the same time reduces the number of copper lines required to connect the memory to other parts of the computer circuit. Experiment 3 decoders, encoders, and multiplexers objectives. The difference between the two is very subtle, which in fact requires a thorough understanding of the concept of combinational logic circuits.
Difference between decoder and demultiplexer difference. Using an noutput decoder use an noutput decoder to realize a logic circuit for a function with n minterms. For each row in the truth table, for the function, where the output is 1, sum or or the corresponding outputs of the decoder. A decoder generally takes a binary number and tranlates it into a specific output. A demultiplexer or dmux is a combination circuit that contains one data input, few control inputs and many outputs, whereas a decoder is a logic circuit that converts a binary number to its equivalent decimal number. This device is ideally suited for high speed bipolar memory chip select address decoding.
