Demultiplexers
A demultiplexer, or demux, is an electronic device that takes a single input signal and routes it to multiple output lines. Imagine it as a traffic controller that directs one lane of cars to different streets based on certain signals. For example, if you have one source of data and need to send it to different destinations, a demultiplexer ensures that the right data goes to the right place at the right time. It's commonly used in communication systems, where it helps in efficiently managing data transmission by splitting signals without losing information.

A demultiplexer, often called a demux, is a device used in electronics that takes a single input signal and channels it into one of several outputs. Think of it like a traffic director at an intersection who sends cars (data) to different streets (output lines) based on specific signals (control inputs). This allows for efficient data management, as multiple devices can receive information from a single source without interfering with each other. Demultiplexers are commonly used in communication systems and data processing to streamline data flow and enhance performance.
