Essay On Multiplexing

When learning code you become familiar with one language at a time, whether it be Java, Visual Basic, etc. Code converters change one code language to another language. For example, Sharp Develop is a free code converter that converts C# language into Visual Basic. There are sets of rules you must know before using a code converter. Before converting code, be sure that the code can be run and compiled. For C# to VB.Net you may have to do some editing after you convert them. For other language pairs, you have to make sure that the converter supports the target language you seek.

A multiplexer is a form of transmission in which allows multiple signals to travel simultaneously over one medium. The signals are carried into smaller channels called subchannels. There are many types of multiplexing, for example, time division multiplexing, statistical multiplexing, and etc. The types that are used depends on what the media, transmission, and reception devices can handle. A multiplexer transmits at the end of a channel and demultiplexers are at the receiving end separating the combined signals and restores them to their original form. Multiplexing also comes in hand with networking to increase the data that is sent and shared over a given time span on a given bandwidth.

One type of multiplexing, known as TDM (time division multiplexing), does what the name implies. It divides a channel into multiple intervals of time or time slots. It then sends a separate time slot to every node on a network, and in that time slot, data is carried from that node. For example, if eight stations are connected to a single network over one wire, eight different time slots will be made in the communication channel. Each station would be assigned one t...

...its from the input lines of the larger decoder will be able to turn the other decoders on or off. Finally, the output lines from the all the decoders will make up the final output lines of the overall decoder. However, the less important a decoder is, the less important its output lines will be.

In conclusion, code converters are used in order to convert code into a different language of code. Multiplexers take multiple signals and makes them travel through one line. Demultiplexers are at the receiving end of a multiplexer, meaning that all signals that are put into one line are received by the demultiplexer. After that it separates the combined signals to their original state. Demultiplexers only receive one input while decoders don’t have an input line, instead, it is a combinational circuit that decodes on n input lines to a maximum of 2^n unique output lines.
