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.

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.

Types Of Current Collector

Current Collector A current collector is a device used to collect electrical current from a moving conductor, such as a train or a trolley. It is typically used in electric vehicles, such as trains and trams, to transfer power from an overhead power source to the vehicle's electric motor. The current collector consists of a sliding contact, which is often made of carbon or copper, that makes contact with an overhead power source, such as an overhead catenary wire or a third rail. The sliding contact is mounted on the vehicle and is typically in the form of a pantograph or a trolley pole. The pantograph is a device with a metal frame and a spring-loaded arm that presses against the overhead power source. It is raised and lowered by the operator of the vehicle, and as it moves along the overhead power source it maintains contact and collects the electrical current. The trolley pole is a vertical pole that is mounted on the roof of the vehicle and has a horizontal arm that extends out
