Multiplexer Question & Answers April 1, 2022 By WatElectronics This article lists 50 Multiplexer MCQs for engineering students. All the Multiplexer Questions & Answers given below include a hint and a link wherever possible to the relevant topic. This is helpful for users who are preparing for their exams, interviews, or professionals who would like to brush up their fundamentals on Multiplexer. In the world of digital systems specifically in large-scale based digital systems, a combinational device that has ‘2n’ number of input and ‘n’ number output lines along with 2 power n selectors is called a mux or a multiplexer. A multiplexer selects between 2 types of input signals namely analogue and digital. The function of multiplexers is to amplify information and boost information. They are classified as 2by1, 4by1, 8by1, and 16by1 MUX. The different types of multiplexing technologies include wavelength division multiplexing, add/drop multiplexing, inverse multiplexing, etc. They benefit in terms of minimum wires are required; zero K-maps and less circuit complexity. The disadvantage of multiplexer includes additional IO ports, complex firmware, and single-port access at a time. The field of applications of multiplexers includes communication systems, computer memory, and telephone network. 1). A multiplexer is also called ___?
