Logic 8: Multiplexers and Buffers Flashcards
It is a device that allows digital information from several sources to be routed onto a single line for transmission over that line to a common destination
Multiplexer
It basically reverses the multiplexing function
Demultiplexer
It takes digital information from one line and distributes it to a given number of output lines
Demultiplexer
Is a collection of wires which form a single signal
Bus
Can be used to isolate other gates or circuit stages from each other, preventing impedance of one circuit from affecting the impedance of another
Digital Buffer
It performs no inversion or decision making capabilities but instead produces an output which exactly matches that of its input
Buffer
The number of load gates connected to the output of a driving gate
Fan-out
The number of inputs to the gate
Fan-in
