Multiplexers

A multiplexer, often abbreviated as MUX, is a device that selects one of many input signals and forwards it to a single output line. Think of it like a traffic manager at a busy intersection, directing traffic from multiple roads into one main road. In electronics, this allows multiple data sources to share a single channel, saving space and resources. Multiplexers are essential in communication systems, where they help manage data from different sources efficiently, ensuring that signals are transmitted accurately without interference.
