Demultiplexer

Demultiplexer

A demultiplexer (or "demux" for short) is a digital circuit that selects one of several inputs and directs it to a single output. The selection of the input to be directed to the output is determined by the value of one or more "select" inputs. The demultiplexer has 2^n input lines and n select lines, where n is the number of select lines. The output will be the input line that corresponds to the binary value of the select lines.
It is the inverse operation of a multiplexer (mux).

Demultiplexer applications

1. Communication System

Multiplexers and Demultiplexers both are used in communication systems to carry out the process of data transmission. A De-multiplèxer receives the output signals from the multiplexer; and, at the receiver end, it converts them back to the original form. 

2. Arithmetic Logic Unit

The output of the arithmetic logic unit is fed as an input to the De-multiplexer, and the demultiplexer is connected to multiple registers. The output of the ALU can be stored in multiple registers. 

3. Serial to Parallel Converter

The serial to parallel the converter is used to reform parallel data. In this method, serial data are given as an input to the De-multiplexer at a regular interval and a counter is attached to the demultiplexer at the control i/p to sense the data signal at the demultiplexer's o/p When all data signals are stored, the output of the demultiplexer can be read out in parallel.

Demultiplexer example

An example of a demultiplexer is a 2-to-1 demultiplexer which has two input lines (I0 and I1), one output line (O), and one select line (S). When the select line is at a logic 0, the input on I0 is directed to the output O, and when the select line is at a logic 1, the input on I1 is directed to the output O.

Here's a truth table of 2-to-1 demultiplexer:

SI0I1O
0000
0010
0101
0111
1000
1011
1100
1111

As you can see, when S = 0 , O = I0 and when S = 1 , O = I1

In general, demultiplexers can be implemented using multiplexers and logic gates.

Comparison between VSI and CSI

Comparison between VSI and CSI In power electronic systems, inverters are an essential component that converts direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC). There are two main types of inverters used in power electronic systems: Voltage Source Inverters (VSI) and Current Source Inverters (CSI). Both have their own unique advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of which to use depends on the specific application and the desired outcome. Comparisons between voltage source inverters and current source inverters are as follows. In voltage source inverters, the input voltage is maintained constant and the amplitude of the output voltage does not depend on the load. However, the waveform of load current, as well as its magnitude, depends upon the nature of load impedance.  In current source inverters (CSI), the input current is constant but adjustable. The amplitude of output current from CSI is freelance of the load. However, the magnitude of output voltage and its undulation outp

Limitations of Terzaghi Theory

Limitations of Terzaghi Theory The value of the coefficient of consolidation has been assumed to be constant.  The distance d of the drainage path cannot be measured accurately in the field. The thickness of the deposit is generally variable, and an average value has to be estimated.  There is sometimes difficulty 1n locating the drainage face, and sometimes thin previous seams that can act as good drainage faces are missed in the boring operations. The equation is based on the assumption that the consolidation is one-dimensional. In the field, the consolidation is generally 3-dimensional. The lateral drainage may have a significant effect on the time rate of consolidation. The initial consolidation and secondary consolidation have been neglected. Sometimes these form an important part of the total consolidation. In actual practice, the pressure distribution may be far from linear or uniform.
