Multiplexers
 A multiplexer has
 N control inputs
 2N
data inputs
 1 output
 A multiplexer routes (or connects) the selected data
input to the output.
 The value of the control inputs determines the data input that
is selected.

Encoder/Decoder Vocabulary
ENCODER- a digital circuit that produces a binary output code
depending on which of its inputs are activated.
DECODER- a digital circuit that converts an input binary code
into a single numeric output.

THE 8421 BCD CODE
• BCD stands for Binary-Coded Decimal.
• A BCD number is a four-bit binary group that represents one of
the ten decimal digits 0 through 9.
Example:
Decimal number 4926 4 9 2 6
8421 BCD coded number 0100 1001 0010 0110

• Electronic decoders are available in IC form.
• This decoder translates from BCD to decimal.
• Decimals are shown on an 7-segment LED display.
• This IC also drives the 7-segment LED display.
