Digital Multiplexer

A digital multiplexer is a device that selects one input signal from multiple inputs and forwards it to a single output line. Think of it as a switchboard operator choosing which call to connect, but in digital electronics, it uses binary signals to select the input. It’s useful for efficiently managing data transmission, reducing the number of pathways needed, and coordinating data flow in electronic systems, such as computers and communication networks. Essentially, it consolidates multiple data sources into one line, making data routing more streamlined and organized.
