Content/Procedure

What is Mux/Demux



    Mux is an abbreviation for multiplexing or multiplexer is refers to the process of combining two or more inputs into a single, aggregate signal transported via a single transmission channel, or a device that performs the process. Demux, on the other hand, is an abbreviation for demultiplexing or demultiplexer, and refers to the separation of two or more previously multiplexed channels into their component parts, or a device does so.

Application



    Multiplexing and demultiplexing are used in digital electronics to allow several microchips, on which a transistor or an entire integrated circuit can be formed, to share common signal buses. The transmission medium for the signal can be any material substance such as coaxial cable, twisted pair cable, fiber optic cable, water or air capable of transmitting, or propagating, signals. Multiplexing and demultiplexing applications include local area networks, such as gigabit Ethernet and fiber optic networks, digital video applications, such as high-definition television, and high-speed, low-cost, global networks, such as those based Synchronous Optical Network and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy technologies.

Type Of Mux/Demux




Mux/Demux 74HC4052

    It hook multiple serial devices to one microcontroller, solve problem it can be. The 74HC4052 analog mux/demux is one of those parts that for microcontroller. 'Mux' means that the TX pin (X) can connect to any one of four outputs (X0, X1, X2, X3). So it can connect your micro's TX pin to four different listening devices such as the RX pins on a radio, GPS module (for configuration), data logger, serial LCD and for 'Demux' means that the signal can go the other direction as well. So if  have both a radio and a GPS unit trying to send data to  microcontroller, the 74HC4052 allows you to switch between which that you want. For example if you've got the A/B pins on the mux configured to listen to the GPS, you may miss incoming serial characters from the radio.

  It also know as 74HC4052 analog as well. This means that it can pass analog values through the IC. So you can connect four analog sensors or signals to the X0/1/2/3 pins, and have them piped into one analog pin. This allows you to connect 8 analog devices using up 2 digital pins and 2 analog pins.
